I felt it while sitting in a fire engine at Pohakuloa! I was in the driver's seat and it felt like someone climbed onto the rig but no one was there.
Aloha!

Maunaloa has been shaking more of late as well, 3.0 or higher earthquakes are becoming a bit more frequent around maunaloa. Many of the big island quakes may come from lava movement, either to or from our active volcanoes. Pretty sure that maunaloa is slightly over due for an eruption. When she does erupt (not if) the volume of lava can be much greater than what we are use to seeing from Kilauea, jmo.

I slept through it here in lower HPP.

Didn't feel a thing in HPP, but it was felt on Mauna Kea, enough to give UKIRT a shove and shift its alignment plus break a shear pin (it basically twisted the telescope mount around a little bit). We had to crank the thing back into position this evening and replace the pin. Fortunately there was no other damage.
