A 5.0-magnitude earthquake shook the Big Island on Thursday amid ongoing seismic activity in Kilauea's east rift zone, sending a large plume of pink ash and smoke into the air and stoking fears of an eruption.

It appears that ground shaking from the earthquake caused rockfalls in the Puu Oo crater on Kilauea Volcano’s East Rift Zone, which resulted in a short-lived plume of reddish ash rising above the cone,” said Tina Neal, Hawaiian Volcano Observatory’s chief scientist in a statement.

The quake was centered about 4.3-miles deep on the south flank of Kilauea. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center says the earthquake was not strong enough to trigger a tsunami.

Earthquakes in the region have been happening consistently since the Puu Oo crater collapsed on Monday.

5/04/2018 -- Kilauea Volcano NOW DRAINING along w/ Pu'u O'o crater collapse and flow

Kilauea volcano's lava lake is now draining. This event is occurring in addition to the Pu'u O'o crater collapsing and releasing its magma into nearby Hawaiian subdivisions.

A new fissure has formed to the East of Pu'u' O'o, and the magma from Kilauea is now added into the mix.

There is going to be an extended large lava flow coming not only from Pu'u O'o's collapse, but now the draining of Kilaueas magma chamber is something which may increase flow amounts + duration.

The two volcanoes are connected to each other deep below, and are several miles apart.
