Two earthquakes shook the island Tuesday morning, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

At 5:26 a.m., a 3.9 magnitude quake struck about 8 miles west of Kawaihae and about 8 miles deep.

About 90 minutes later, a 3.6 magnitude quake rocked the state about 8 miles south-southwest from Waikoloa Village and nearly 10 miles deep, according to USGS.

Many people on the Big Island reported feeling the quakes, which could be aftershocks of Sunday's 6.7 earthquake. People on Molokai, Maui and a few on Oahu reported feeling the shaking.

There have been no reports of damage or power loss.
