A little over an hour ago there was a relatively shallow 5.3 earthquake in the Puna district of the Big Island, near where the new lava outbreak is.
No word yet on any damages in the area, but it was strongly felt many miles away.
This is the sixth earthquake today in the very same spot. And this is the area (along with the Ka`u district) that is predicted (right now, anyway) to receive the brunt of Flossie.
ETA: Make that eight earthquakes, not six.
