A magnitude 4.6 earthquake near Hilo, Hawaii County, Hawaii, USA, was reported only 4 minutes ago by the United States Geological Survey, considered the key international and national agency that monitors seismic activity in the US. The earthquake occurred at a very shallow depth of 6 miles beneath the epicenter late at night on Tuesday, November 25th, 2025, at 11:49 pm local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.
In Fern Forest (pop. 1,200) located 8 miles from the epicenter, Volcano (pop. 2,600) 11 miles away, and Hawaiian Acres (pop. 2,700) 13 miles away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Ainaloa (pop. 3,000) located 14 miles from the epicenter, Mountain View (pop. 3,900) 14 miles away, Hawaiian Beaches (pop. 4,300) 17 miles away, Hawaiian Paradise Park (pop. 11,400) 18 miles away, and Hilo (pop. 43,300) 26 miles
