    Magnitude-5.0 shakes Hawaiian island of Oahu

    HILO, Hawaii (AP) — A magnitude-5.0 earthquake and several small aftershocks shook the island of Oahu in Hawaii on Sunday, but there were no immediate reports of serious damage or injuries.

    The quake struck near Kae'na Point in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park at 4:36 p.m. at a depth of five miles, according to a report from the U.S. Geological Survey. The epicenter was about 25 miles south of Hilo and 220 miles southeast of Honolulu.

    The largest of the aftershocks, a magnitude-3.0, came about 10 minutes after the original quake.

    Joe Lopez, 70, said he felt a "pretty good jolt" at his home in Hilo.

    Lopez told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser the quake sent books and other items tumbling to the floor.

      There was no writer involved in creating this story. It was generated by an 'artificial intelligence' program that strings together various stats, quotes, numbers and other input. The program then kicks out an "article" that we read because of the teaser headline.

      At least I think that's what's up. There's just no way the AP would employ any idiots who would write and/or edit this trash . . . would they?

      Volcanoes had nothing to do with the earthquake, it was the natural gas drilling and "fracking". Hawaii should contact the New York State D.E.C., they will help them with public forums, comment and how to control the earthquakes caused by the drilling. Also Ithaca , N.Y. residents will help them.
