KÄ«lauea continues to erupt at its summit and East Rift Zone. This past week, the summit lava lake level varied from about 19 m (62 ft) to about 4 m (13 ft) below the vent rim. The 61g lava flow continued to enter the ocean near Kamokuna, and does not pose an immediate threat to nearby communities.
Mauna Loa is not erupting. During the past week, earthquakes occurred primarily at the summit and upper Southwest Rift Zone at depths less than 5 km (3 mi), with several others occurring at depths greater than 40 km (25 mi). Additional earthquakes occurred in the KaÊ»Åiki area of the east flank between KÄ«lauea and Mauna Loa mostly in in 5–11 km (3–7 mile) depth range. Deformation related to inflation of a magma reservoir beneath the summit and upper Southwest Rift Zone continued, with inflation occurring mainly in the southwestern part of the magma storage complex.
Two earthquakes were reported felt on the Island of HawaiÊ»i this past week. On November 4, 2016, at 5:48 a.m., HST, a magnitude-3.5 earthquake occurred 10.2 km (6.4 mi) east of HÅnaunau at a depth of 11.9 km (7.4 mi). On November 5, 2016, at 7:24 a.m., HST, a magnitude-2.7 earthquake occurred 11.4 km (7.1 mi) northwest of Kailua at a depth of 7.2 km (4.5 mi).
