Love Big Island News! Straightforward and to the point with factual information. Wish all "news" organizations were like that. Miss the days of Walter Cronkite.

The earthquakes today have depths that start at about 1.2 miles but seems to be coming up to about .1 miles down all very much in the same area.

Headed back to Pu’uo’o then it’ll head back down Leilani eventually.

[@josephastier7421]

LOL. The seismic activity that preceded 2018 was about 1000x bigger than what we’re seeing now.

Before what? An eruption? Nah man you're high af man. Last year there were so many eruptions that Kilauea is taking a break. There have been several intrusions and all but one failed to erupt, and that eruption was not even a minor eruption.

The Hawaiian Island archipelago has been erupting off and on for 85 million years and yet it is still here. Relax and sorry you live in Idaho.

​@@drk321sorry they live in idaho??? Mountains, hunting, amazing fishing, lots of freedom. I'd rather live in a tree in middle of nowhere than in any city. You do realize these big immigrant cities are going to burn down later this summer. They came to America thinking they would get everything for free. Or just set up gangs to rob the ones who hate the 2nd Amendment
