It seems strange, but I would have to see how common those small to moderate quakes are. Obviously Hawaii is very active seismically. I think Taiwan is on or near the ring of fire. Not sure about Fiji. It could just be that no one notices those 4.0-5.0 quakes, except when everyone is focusing on an area after a disaster. I'd be very surprised if there is not a 4.0 quake multiple times per week near Hawaii. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm sticking with coincidence.
