Thanks.  Here is a link to the write-up in the Washington Post:

Pretty interesting to possibly find out what that whole Pahala swarm is about.

Thanks, Ccat, very interesting article. Not having a conclusion in the paper threw a bit of a curveball to me, but it was a good read. I'm not a geologist but the behavior of Kilauea and Mauna Loa really asked a lot of questions about how they may or may not be connected. It's good to see more research on this. My own opinion is that there is a connection.

Pāhala, a town located in the southeast part of the Island of Hawai‘i, lies above the state’s most seismically active area. In the last 5 years, the average weekly number of earthquakes has increased from about 60 to 600 earthquakes per week.
