Hawaii’s Kilauea Volcano Lava Still Flowing – IOTW Report

Hawaii’s Kilauea Volcano Lava Still Flowing

Breaking 911- Hawaiian Volcano Observatory confirms 2 new vents. All Lanipuna residents must evacuate now.  Evacuate towards the ocean Isaac Hale Beach Park. Vent number 13 has opened near the intersection of Leilani Avenue and Kahukai Road and Vent number 14 near Kaupili St. and Leilani Avenue.  Both are actively erupting.

Deflationary tilt at the summit of the volcano continues and the lava lake level continues to drop. Aftershocks from Friday’s magnitude-6.9 earthquake continue and more are expected. Rockfalls into the Overlook vent within Halemaʻumaʻu crater are producing intermittent ash emissions. Seismicity at Kīlauea’s summit remains elevated. MORE

  1. Wow, the carbon footprint of this volcanic event must now be almost as much as Dicaprio’s or Gore’s annual private jet emissions.

  2. Impressive and awesome videos.
    When you see that and think about the fact that that is flowing through the Earth, you have to thank God for His grace and mercy that we haven’t all burned up eons ago.

  3. This reminds me of the time a friend of ours visited an active volcano with a tour in NZ. As the group gathered near the caldera (as close as they were allowed), my friend gasped and remarked that it “looks just like hell!”, to which one of the British tourists replied, “My goodness, you Americans have been everywhere!”

  4. It’s a perfect opportunity for those natives (the ones desperate for Hawaii to leave the US) to show us their rich culture by tossing a young maiden or two into the volcano. That’ll make us mainlanders take notice.
