HONOLULU -- A Thanksgiving Day earthquake rattled parts of Hawaii Thursday.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said the quake hit off the coast of the Big Island. It was also felt in Maui and Oahu. Some power outages are being reported, but there's no word on other damages or any injuries. The warning center said no tsunami is expected.

The quake had a magnitude of 4.5, though some reports put it as high as 5.0.

Two bigger quakes hit Hawaii last month, causing power outages, bridge collapses, landslides and road closures.

1. Would these be aftershocks?

I don't know that much about earthquakes, but is it possible for aftershocks to occur a month after the major event?

2. I'm on Oahu & didn't feel it.

After the last 2 quakes, we had aftershocks for a while.

Today was a new quake, but in the same place as the last ones.

3. So is a mountain there waking up? nt
