Video news shows lava flying up above the trees and someone got a drone in the air showing a huge long fissure opening up with lava coming out and spewing up into the air. This one came up really close to houses. Puna Geothermal is starting emergency shut down procedures.

I stand corrected about the ash, thanks for the info. It's amazing how many different types of eruption happen at Kilauea.

I read some aren’t evacuating. How bizarre. It’s not like a tornado with no warning. Get out of the danger zone. Jeez.

It's not that bizarre -- there are always some folks that are vying to win a "Darwin Award." However, what's a little bizarre are the lookie-loos that are going to the danger zone to see Pele's handiwork up close.

Mother Nature can suck, I hope everyone stays safe

There were three so far today (Friday) that were felt in Honokaa. Small things rattled on shelves, but didn't fall off. It was a longer earthquake than usual and had more side to side swaying feel to it than the up and down jolting type that we had for that large one about a decade ago.

Rumor has it that three houses have been taken by lava, but I don't see it in the news. Not sure how valid the info is, just something I heard from some folks while I was working at the shop today.

Some other customers had mentioned they'd been shopping in Hilo when there was an earthquake and all sorts of things fell off the shelves.
