The Big Island of Hawaii got shook today by a 6.9 earthquake at the Kilauea volcano.
Yahoo! News reported:
Los Angeles (AFP) - A magnitude 6.9 earthquake shook Hawaii's Big Island on Friday, prompting fresh eruptions of a volcano that has been spewing lava near residential areas, forcing hundreds of people to flee.
The US Geological Survey said the quake struck at 12:32 pm (2232 GMT) and was centered on the south flank of the Kilauea volcano, which first erupted on Thursday after a series of tremors on the island.
"This is in almost exactly the same location as the deadly 1975 M 7.1 quake," USGC said in a tweet.
