Significant earthquakes rocked the Big Island of Hawaii on Friday as the Kilauea volcano continues to erupt.
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said a 6.9-magnitude earthquake hit the island, as well as a 5.4-magnitude quake.
The 5.4-magnitude quake reportedly was felt as far away as Oahu. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said the second quake wasn't strong enough to cause a tsunami, and Hawaii's Department of Transportation said no damage had been reported to roads.
After the 6.9-magnitude quake, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said the quake generated small sea level changes at some locations on the Big Island, but not tsunami was expected.
