The U.S. Geological Survey recorded a 6.0 magnitude earthquake Friday night on Hawaii Island.
The earthquake struck near Honaunau-Napoopoo. It originated about 14 miles below the surface, allowing the quake to be felt across the Hawaiian Islands.
Residents reported feeling light to strong shaking on Hawaii Island, Maui and Oahu, where the tremors briefly rattled homes and buildings, according to USGS.
The earthquake reportedly caused some minor damage and rockslides, but the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center confirmed it did not pose a tsunami threat.
The earthquake had no apparent impact on Mauna Loa or Kilauea volcanoes.
