The 95 best-quality fault-plane solutions for earthquakes in a 30 by 10 km area near the epicenter of the 1868 Hawaiian earthquake (M about 7.9) were used for estimating the orientation of the stress and strain tensors. Most of the earthquakes had magnitudes of ML = 3.5+ or -0.6 with nine events in the range 4.2
