Scientists detect earthquake swarm at Hawaii volcano

Associated Press  

HONOLULU — Geologists on Tuesday said they had detected a swarm of earthquakes at Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano, though it is not erupting. The quakes began overnight and continued into the morning, The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said. That may indicate magma was moving beneath the south part of Kilauea’s caldera, the observatory said. The observatory changed its volcano alert level to watch from advisory, meaning Kilauea is showing heightened or escalating unrest with more potential for an eruption.
