A magnitude-4.2 earthquake rumbled just offshore of the Big Island of Hawaii on Tuesday morning, but officials said no tsunamis were expected, NBC News reports.

The earthquake was about 5 miles southeast of the community of Pahala, just off the southern shore of the Big Island, at 9:37am local time (3:37pm ET), according to the US Geological Survey (USGS).

The office of Hawaii Governor Josh Green said on X, "A local earthquake has occurred — 4.0 magnitude off the Ka‘u coast of the Big Island. Shaking may have been felt in some areas, but No Tsunami was generated.”

The USGS said the quake was unlikely to produce damage.

It received about 40 reports from those who said they felt the earthquake.
