Magnitude 6.0 earthquake rocks Hawaii's Big Island as Kilauea volcano likely to erupt again in days

A 6.0 magnitude earthquake rocked Hawaii's Big Island shortly before 10 p.m. local time Friday night, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

The earthquake came amid USGS monitoring of Kilauea, an active volcano on Hawaii's Big Island that experts expect to erupt again in the coming days after a recent series of eruptions throughout May.

Friday night's earthquake occurred about seven miles south of Hōnaunau-Nāpōʻopoʻo, a town on the southwest coast of Hawaii, according to the USGS.
