The United States Geological Survey reported a magnitude 3.6 quake in the United States near Hilo, Hawaii County, Hawaii, only 6 minutes ago. The earthquake hit in the morning on Wednesday, June 24th, 2026, at 8:29 am local time at a very shallow depth of 3.8 miles. 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.A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 3.6 earthquake as well.Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter. Weak shaking might have been felt in Volcano (pop. 2,600) located 9 miles from the epicenter.Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Fern Forest (pop. 1,200) located 12 miles from the epicenter, Eden Roc (pop. 1,400) 14 miles away, Mountain View (pop. 3,900) 18 miles away, Hawaiian Acres (pop. 2,700) 19 miles away, Ainaloa (pop. 3,000) 21 miles away, Hawaiian Paradise Park (pop. 11,400) 25 miles away, Hawaiian Beaches (pop. 4,300) 25 miles away, and Hilo (pop. 43,300) 30 miles away.Earthquake data: Date & time: Jun 24, 2026 08:29 am (Honolulu time) local time (24 Jun 2026 18:29 GMT)Magnitude: 3.6Depth: 6.10 kmEpicenter latitude / longitude: 19.31°N / 155.22°W (Hawaii County, Hawaii, United States)Primary data source: USGS
