HONOLULU (AP) — A magnitude 5.2 earthquake has hit off Hawaii’s Big Island.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the quake hit less than 3 miles (5 kilometers) offshore of the northwest coast of the Big Island Monday. The earthquake was about 17 miles (27 kilometers) below sea level.

The epicenter was about 75 miles (120 kilometers) north of both Hilo and Kailua-Kona.

The USGS said people reported feeling some light shaking as far away as Kauai with strong shaking near the center on the Big Island. Shaking was reported on all the main Hawaiian Islands.

3. Felt if up here in Kapaau

It was a pretty good jolt--and loud! We actually had a small box that was not stored firmly fall to the floor but that was it. My next thought was a tsunami, but apparently not.

5. That's right near my daughter's old school

Her old high school was in Waimea (Kamuela), up the Kohala Mountain Road from Hawai‘i Kai. It got pretty badly shaken up by the last earthquake a few years ago. I hope this one did less damage, and the road down to Waipio is still intact.

6. Iʻve been asking around

here in Hilo, and so far I canʻt find anyone that felt the quake.
