On a completely unrelated note, because they’re saying it was unconnected with the volcano, [there was a 6.2-magnitude earthquake off the Big Island yesterday morning](https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2021/10/10/usgs-reports-61-magnitude-earthquake-south-hawaii-island-no-tsunami-threat/), and our building here in Waikiki was shaking, highly unusual. They even felt it all the way over on Kauai, which is even more unusual. ---

Any tidal waves? ---

> [@Siam\_Sam](#): > > our building here in Waikiki was shaking, I was out running when the quake struck, on a rural road surrounded by mostly fields and trees, but with a scattering of houses here and there. Oddly, I didn’t _feel_ it at all - as in, there was no sense of shaking beneath my feet. But I heard it! It didn’t last long and it wasn’t obtrusively loud, but it was the sound of everything shaking, and it was very directional. I noted where it seemed to be coming from and checked on the USGS map as soon as I got home - yup, that was correct. At home, a few pictures on the wall were knocked askew, and my ironing board had fallen over, although with three cats I can’t say for sure that the ironing board culprit was geological. ---

Just a little bit of a bump to say we went over to the park this morning before sunrise. My photo is mediocre because there were dozens of people crowding the lookout area, but here’s what it looked like: [[Album] Halema'uma'u Crater Oct 30, 2021 ![](https://i.imgur.com/mmmkYx5.jpeg?fb "Halema") ](https://imgur.com/a/jdAc26C) ---

Very cool! Was this from the overlook at the end of Crater Rim Drive? ---

Crater Rim Drive is now closed just past the Jagger Museum. But you can walk the Halema’uma’u Trail [(here’s a map)](https://www.hawaii-guide.com/files/eMaps/CRD.jpg) to an overlook on the east side - the vent that is erupting is on the west side of the crater so it gives you a good vantage point.
