Small magnitude 3.6 earthquake 48 miles southwest of Hilo, Hawaii, United States

An earthquake of magnitude 3.6 occurred in the morning on Tuesday, May 20th, 2025, at 9:37 am local time near Hilo, Hawaii County, Hawaii, USA, as reported by the United States Geological Survey.
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a moderately shallow depth of 19 miles. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS), which listed it as a magnitude 3.7 earthquake. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 3.9.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Pāhala (pop. 1,400) located 11 miles from the epicenter, Discovery Harbor (pop. 1,200) 18 miles away, Hawaiian Ocean View (pop. 4,400) 26 miles away, Volcano (pop. 2,600) 26 miles away, and Fern Forest (pop. 1,200) 31 miles away. In Mountain View (pop. 3,900, 37 miles away), Ainaloa (pop. 3,000, 39 miles away), Hawaiian Beaches (pop. 4,300, 43 miles away), and Hilo (pop. 43,300, 48 miles away), the quake was probably not felt.
