[Volcano Watch, U.S. Geological Survey Hawaiian Volcano Observatory]
Over 500 earthquakes were located by the USGS Hawaiian Volcano
Observatory (HVO) between noon Friday and noon Saturday,
May 4-5, 2018. A magnitude-6.9 earthquake at 12:32 p.m. HST
on Friday was preceded by two foreshocks with magnitudes of 5.4
and 4.4 at 11:32 a.m. and 11:38 a.m., respectively, and followed
by eight aftershocks with magnitudes greater than 4.0, including a
magnitude-5.3 at 2:37 p.m. Moderate to strong aftershocks should be
expected for weeks to months to come. The earthquakes are related to
the ongoing intrusion into Kīlauea’s East Rift Zone and reflect adjustments
beneath the south flank of the volcano. USGS map.>/p>

Miscellaneous Contributions

M6.9 recorded with geophones in NV & OK

[Jim O'Donnell, BC-Geophysics] The M6.9 was recorded using a Sigma 4 recorder with geophones in both Boulder City (BC), NV and near Ponca City, OK with the KawLake seismic array which is being utilized to record the seismicity in OK. By using a very good seismic recorder, low noise, we are able to inverse filter the data from the geophone response down to a much lower frequency.

The Boulder City site used 1 Hz, 2.5 Hz (hs), and 4.5 Hz Sunfull geophones in the Z direction, while the OK site used a 3c 2.0 Hz geophone compared to a CMG 40T seismometer. The event is shown below with both time series and amplitude spectra in velocity. The records are attached, with a map showing the location of both sites and the M6.9 epicenter..
