It could be a precursor to a change in eruptive activity, but the Kilauea summit crater is already active with a lava lake, and the east rift zone at Pu’u O’o is erupting also.

Back in the 1860’s a strong earthquake struck the area as the shelf and tens of miles of shoreline suddenly dropped many feet, drowning a small hawaiian village along the coastline. The whole area south of Kilauea and the east rift could potentially slide into the sea.
I made sure I’m well north of the possible rift or fracture zone. If that whole shelf slides into the ocean like a giant wedge, Honolulu would have 20 minutes before the 100 foot wave swallows the city. California would have 5 hours warning before the Tsunami. And Maya would likely be flat on the ground, hugging a rock, high and dry.
