Footage shows the tremors shaking furniture inside a home on the Hawaiian archipelago’s largest island on October 10.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the first quake of magnitude 6.1 hit 17 miles south of the Naalehu community at around noon. It was followed by a magnitude 6.2 tremor felt in the same area 20 minutes later.

No tsunami alerts were raised and no immediate injuries have been reported.

No structural damage has been recorded according to the Hawaii Department of Transportation.
