TL;DR Summary

A magnitude 5.7 earthquake struck Mauna Loa volcano on Hawaii's Big Island, causing power outages and minor damage, but no tsunami. The earthquake, initially reported as magnitude 6.3, shook the island and was felt in Honolulu. Mauna Loa, one of the world's largest active volcanoes, last erupted in late 2022. The earthquake didn't affect Mauna Loa or neighboring volcano Kilauea, and there was no apparent damage to roads or visitor centers. Hawaii experiences earthquakes due to various reasons, including magma movement, and the majority of earthquakes occur on and around the Big Island.
