KOHALA, Hawai'i — Big Island emergency officials report that a magnitude-3.7 earthquake has struck near Kiholo Bay.

Hawai'i County Civil Defense says that the earthquake occurred around 2 p.m. It wasn't large enough to cause a tsunami.

The earthquake could cause aftershocks.

If residents feel a quake, they should check for damage to utility connections of gas, water and power afterward.
