On Sunday, two strong earthquakes struck off the coast of Hawaii’s Big Island, causing inhabitants to shake and products to fall off shelves.
The initial quake, according to the USGS, had a magnitude of 6.1 and occurred around 17 miles south of Naalehu. A 6.2 magnitude earthquake happened around 20 minutes later in the same area, according to the agency.
There is no tsunami hazard, according to the National Weather Service in Honolulu.
The shaking opened the refrigerator display doors of a gas station on Oahu, and contents fell to the ground.
There were no early reports of injuries.
