An early morning earthquake rattled Hawaii’s Big Island, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

The USGS reported the magnitude 3.9 struck at 1:52 a.m. on Monday and was centered about 35 miles southwest of Hilo, near the Mauna Loa Observatory.

Only a handful of people reported feeling the temblor on the USGS website.

A dispatcher with the Island of Hawaii Police Department said no one has reported any damage because of the quake.
