The Sleeping Giant Rumbles Softly

[Carey]

Todays edition of HVO newsletter covers a little on the dynamics of our sleeping Mauna Loa, and some of the information they are compiling on the recent swarms of micro quakes.

yes, thanks for the article. it was truely awe inspiring when she went off in 94, and at that time both volcanos were going off at the same time. i remember being scared and blessed to see such an event.

Didn't Mauna Loa go off in '84 not '94?

Yes, 1984; we just had the 20th anniversary. Island time ... []

Thanks so much for sharing this Carey, most interesting.

The May 9th quake is mentioned more than once.
Link to our conversation on that one.

I felt at the time it was something out of the ordinary, so nice to see the scientists thought it noteworthy as well.

We just had another 3.2 at Mauna Loa summit, according to USGS email.
