A magnitude 5.7 earthquake shook a remote part of Hawaii’s Big Island on Friday.
It was felt as far as Honolulu, more than 200 miles away, reports said — likely because of the depth of the earthquake, calculated at 23 miles under sea level.
An earlier estimate calculated the earthquake as magnitude 6.3.
At least 10 aftershocks of magnitude 2.5 and higher had been recorded within an hour and a half of the initial temblor, about one every 10 minutes. No tsunami is expected.
The Hawaii earthquake was not related to a magnitude 4.6
