Molten rock, toxic gas and steam from a volcanic eruption hs engulfed homes on Big Island with more than 1,700 residents evacuated and 31 homes destroyed.
In images that have emerged since the eruptions began, molten lava can be seen across the area.
And in chilling aerial photos rivers of molten lava are seen flowing towards people’s homes.
Experts have not been able to predict with confidence when the series of eruptions will end – with the first wave hitting the Big Island on Thursday.
Further tremors rocked the region on Friday and residents have been advised that the situation can only be monitored on a day-by-day basis at the moment.
Amber Makuakane, a mother of two who lived in Leilani Estates, saw her home burned down by lava.
She said: “There was some steam rising from all parts of the yard, but everything looked fine.
“My son keeps asking me, ‘Mommy, when are we going to go home?’”
