HIGHWAY IS BACKED UP BECAUSE OF WORK TO A BROKEN WATER MAIN NEAR BY. AND I’M AND MORE BREAKING NEWS ON THE BIG ISLAND. A 5.1 MAGNITUDE EARTHQUAKE WITHIN HAWAII, VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK. THERE IS NO THREAT OF A TSUNAMI. LET’S GO TO JUSTIN CRUZ NOW FOR MORE JUS. WE’VE GOT ITS START WITH A LOOK AT THE EARTHQUAKE ON THIS ONE OCCURRED AT 05:53PM MAGNITUDE. 5.1 ORIGINALLY WAS A MAGNITUDE. 4.9. SO GOT REEXAMINED AND ADJUSTED ACCORDINGLY. SO MAGNITUDE 5.1. THE DEPT IS AT ONE MILE AND THIS IS NEAR THE SUMMIT REGION OF KILLER WHALE AT A VERY
SHALLOW DEPTH COMPARED TO THE RATES THAT ARE AS DEEP AS 19 MILES AND MUCH MORE FREQUENT. SO WITH ANY KIND OF IMMINENT ERUPTION AND THERE’S NO IMMINENT ERUPTION, BY THE WAY, BECAUSE WE WOULD HAVE TO SWARMS AND SWARMS OF QUAKES OVER 100 TO INDICATE SOME KIND OF HIGHER LEVEL OF ACTIVITY. THIS ONE A FEW AFTERSHOCKS OF UP TO MAGNITUDE 3. SO IT’S JUST INTERESTING TO SEE ITS REALLY INDICATING THAT THERE’S A POSSIBILITY OF MAGMA BEING VERY CLOSE TO THE SURFACE. AGAIN, TO NOT BE CONCERNED AT THIS TIME, WE’LL NEED MORE EVIDENCE TO ACTUALLY GET A
HIGHER ALERT CODE FOR THIS. AND WE’LL BE MONITORING THIS FOR YOU. HERE’S THE KALANIANA’OLE HIGHWAY SITUATION. THE ROAD IS BLOCKED
