Hawaii Tracker Nightly Update - 10/20/2018

"No significant changes on Kilauea today. There was a notable earthquake today on the southern flank fault south of Pu’u O’o, a M3.8 at 2:40pm. The location and depth of the earthquake suggest the quake was an aftershock from the M6.9 on May 4th. There are a couple earthquakes a day on average near the southern fault line around 5-7km deep, however today’s earthquake was the largest quake in the area since August 9th’s M4.4. Other seismic activity today has been within observed norms since the pause in the eruption. There are no indications that eruption will resume in the near future."
