Generally, Honolulu and Hawaii itself doesn't experience too many earthquakes that would cause any major disturbance. Most earthquakes come from Hawaii's Big Island, the largest and eastern-most island in the state. This is because the Big Island is home to the most active volcanoes in the world. The last major earthquake happened on October 15, 2006 when a 6.7 earthquake occured off the coast of the northwest part of the Big Island. It was felt statewide and caused a power outage for 12 hours on most of Oahu and in Honolulu. Another minor 3.5 earthquake was felt in the Honolulu area in July. No major damage occured.

Yes, Honolulu does experience earthquakes as it is located in a seismically active region near the Pacific Ring of Fire. While the frequency and intensity of earthquakes in Honolulu may not be as high as in some other areas, they do occur periodically. It is important for residents and visitors to be prepared for potential seismic activity.
