San Francisco, May 5 : A number of strong earthquakes have hit Hawaii’s Big Island, a day after the eruption of the Kilauea volcano, a BBC News report said.
One quake, a 6.9 magnitude south-east of the volcano, was the most powerful to hit the US state since 1975.
It briefly cut power, and sent people fleeing from buildings but there was no tsunami warning.
Meanwhile there were several fresh eruptions sending up fountains of lava 30m (100ft), destroying several homes and leaving fissures on three streets.
