A magnitude 6.0 earthquake struck the western flank of Mauna Loa on Hawaii's Big Island on Friday night, but officials said there was no eruption of Mauna Loa and no tsunami warning in effect after the quake.
The US Geological Survey (USGS) reported that the tremor hit at 9:46 p.m. local time, shaking communities across the state yet sparing the islands from the kind of cascading disaster many residents instinctively fear.
