*rushes to USGS site*

Preliminarily rated at 3.6 but at only 4km deep it was fairly shallow so much more noticeable. Hit at 2:12 pm HST, whilst some of us were chatting in the office.

NE of Honolulu, SW of Waimanalo (the town just down the road from my home in Kailua). It was Interesting feeling, kind of like when a large heavy lorry bounces past your building, but imagine that going on constantly for a minute.

QUICK! TO THE INTERNETS! :)

Rather less severe than the NZ one though, so hopefully no harm done.

Absolutely none as far as I'm hearing, just the usual storm of tweets from Hawaii people.

looks like it's creeping steadily south-west and deeper, now reported the epicenter as being 21.180°N, 157.550°W, about a 3rd of the way to Molokai, at 19km deep.
