Okay, over the 32 years of living in my Nanawale house, which is built on a concrete slab, while lying in bed, I have experienced short episodes of slightly felt vibrations as what I've assumed to be magma moving underground at an unknown but distant distance.
Has anyone else in lower Puna had similar experience? The reason I ask is that overnight I felt them for quite a while. In fact, at one point, I thought we were starting to have an EQ but I checked the website this a.m. and nothing.
I'm curious to know if anyone else ever has similar experiences. T'anx eh?

I wonder if that is related to the reports of a sudden drop in temperature at the hot ponds lately, maybe due to no geothermal heating? I have a friend who took visitors there several times since the bottom dropped out at Pu'u O'o and said it was consistently the coldest she has ever experienced.

Aloha Ms. Stapleton: I have often felt very gentle swaying motion of my post/pier Leilani house, as if on a boat in a swell. Everyone tells me it's quakes, but I wonder if it could be magma moving under us as we are on top of the rift going to Kapoho?

I live in upper HPP and ever since I've lived here (7 years) I've felt periodic vibrations. My house is post and pier. I've been told I'm crazy and had about decided it must unseen wind somehow causing the house to shake but then, about two weeks ago, we were sitting out in the carport (concrete slab) and I felt vibrations. No one else felt anything but we did notice the water in the dog's bucket was rippling. There was zero wind, nothing close to the bucket, just the circular ripples in the water like the bucket was was being hit gently. Lasted a few minutes then stopped. Nobody could explain it other than the ground vibrating - was nice to have some confirmation that I'm not completely nuts. Nothing on the USGS site and haven't felt anything since.
blessed are the cracked for they let in the light
I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.

Oh wow, and I thought it was just me! We're on p&p, top of Hawaiian Shores. Every now & then I'll feel what I'm sure is a little earthquake, but it never turns into anything big enough for my husband to notice and never shows up on the USGS site. Glad to know I'm not alone in this. It's still rather disconcerting, though I guess we *are* living on the side of an active volcano. ;-)

I and my animals have felt the same thing.
I'm just staying alert and observant.
Good call Frankie.

Lately we've noticed our dogs pawing and staring at the ground as if something were there, usually in the driveway. Top of Leilani.

I have also felt slight vibrating at night when everything is very, very still....especially several nights this past week. These episodes usually last less than a minute. I live in Kapoho. Last night I slept like a rock so I did not notice anything.
I have been hesitant to say anything to anyone, but this thread makes me feel a LOT better!!

So, where is the lava? Not at the summit. Not at Pu'O O'o except in the mildest way. Not flowing to the ocean. No longer being ejected supersonically from my lavatube.
Where.......did........it.......go?
