Here is what the real experts have to say:
"K#299;lauea's south flank has been the site of 28 earthquakes of magnitude-4.0 or greater during the past 25 years. Most are caused by abrupt motion of the volcano's south flank, which moves to the southeast over the oceanic crust as a result of magma being injected into the East Rift Zone. The location, depth, and waveforms recorded as part of today's earthquake are all consistent with slip along this south flank fault."
Add me to your detractors because you first state they come in pairs and you have noticed this for 30 years. Wouldn't that mean there have been 60 earthquakes in the same area ?
