The US Geological Survey reports a magnitude 4.3 earthquake has rattled Hawaii's Big Island, as two hurricanes rumbled toward the islands.
The temblor struck on the north tip of the island, about 11 kilometers from Waimea at 6:24 a m local time.
Hurricane Iselle was on course to hit the Big Island today night, and was being tailed by Hurricane Julio, which strengthened early today into a Category 2 storm.
