Magnitude 6.0 earthquake hits Hawaii
A 6.0-magnitude earthquake hit Hawaii on Friday, the United States Geological Survey said. The tremor occurred at a depth of 22.4 kilometres (14 miles), around 12 kilometres south of Honaunau-Napoopoo on Hawaii’s main island, USGS said. It struck at 09:46 pm (0746 GMT Saturday), it said. There was no danger of a tsunami, the National Tsunami Warning Center said. There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage. Hawaii is a seismically active part of the planet despite being in the middle of a huge tectonic plate. It is home to six active volcanoes including Kilauea, which regularly wows helicopter-riding tourists who come to see its red-hot shows. It is also the location of Mauna Loa, the world’s biggest volcano.
