Ebola has a running head start. By the time the outbreak in DRC was detected, there were already many suspected cases and deaths. We’ve seen that if you reach an Ebola outbreak in days, you can stop it in weeks. Months of delay? It will take much, much longer. That’s why countries need to surge support to affected communities now. https://t.co/jkMXQwZ55w

A magnitude‑4.6 earthquake struck at 5:58 p.m. HST west-northwest of Kahaluu-Keauhou on the Island of Hawaiʻi at a depth of 21 miles (34 km) below sea level on June 2, 2026.
The earthquake was not related to magma movement and had no apparent impact on Hualālai, Mauna Loa, or Kīlauea volcanoes. Like the magnitude-6 earthquake on May 22, this earthquake was caused by bending of the Pacific Plate from the weight of the Hawaiian Islands. The two earthquakes were similar in origin but are not directly related.
Shaking was reported across the Island of Hawaiʻi and on Maui, with moderate shaking reported near the epicenter. Moderate shaking could cause light damage. Aftershocks are possible in the coming hours to days.
Mahalo to everyone who submitted felt reports—your information helps improve rapid response and hazard understanding.
