Hawaii's Volcanic Roulette: A Ticking Time Bomb on the Big Island? The Hawaiian Islands are known for their breathtaking natural beauty, but beneath the surface lies a ticking time bomb waiting to unleash its fury.
Last week's 6. 0 magnitude earthquake on the Big Island was a stark reminder that volcanic activity still seethes in the region.
The quake struck near Honaunau Napoopoo, a rural area on the western side of the Big Island, causing widespread shaking felt as far away as Maui and Oahu.
