~ Interesting deflation tilt blip and little quake today ~

Above, Halema’uma’u at 1:00 PM today.

As we all wait for more eruptive changes with Kilauea Volcano, we also pay closer attention to any changes taking place now.Not large at 3.5 magnitude, but seems significant, especially after this odd drop straight down on the Kilauea summit tilt graph, shown below and copied at 12:30 PM today.
It is also very significant that during this recent magma pressure inflation/deflation stage that Pu`u O`o did not waver and appeared unaffected by the huge pressure spike at the Kilauea summit region; this after having been mimicking the summit the week previously. The Hawaii Volcano Observatory guys are all on it and will likely give us their viewpoints on this.
Might be a sign of bigger changes… or not ;)

The quake was four miles south-southeast from the summit. Here is a list of recent Big Island earthquakes, and also this link to the Hawaii Island earthquake map
