HILO, Hawaii -- A magnitude 4.4 earthquake has rattled Hawaii's Big Island, but no damages or injuries have been reported.

The U.S. Geological Survey says the temblor hit at 6:30 p.m. Monday, and was centered 13 miles southwest of Laupahoehoe and 20 miles west-northwest of Hilo.

Hawai'i County civil defense administrator Quince Mento tells the Honolulu Advertiser that there were no reports of damage or injuries.

The USGS says the earthquake did not generate a tsunami.
