Things on the big Island of Hawaii have gone from bad to worse. However, as I reported three weeks ago, this is not an local problem as I published strong indicators that the entire South Pacific region was in danger and that danger would extend to the West Coast of the United States.
Kilauea Has Gone “Permanently” Active
Ten hours ago, the Guardian reported the following:
Magma spewed from 100ft (30-metre) cinder cones and formed elevated ponds of molten rock that were expected to soon overflow and stream into the next rows of homes – Kahukai and Mohala streets. Firefighters went door to door evacuating residents before the lava arrived.
“It’s this tide of lava that rises up and overflows itself on the edges and keeps rising and progressing forward,” US Geological Survey geologist Wendy Stovall said.
About 37 structures are already “lava locked”, meaning homes are inaccessible, and people who do not evacuate may be trapped.
“Any residents remaining in the current affected areas should evacuate now,” Hawaii County Civil Defense said in an alert.
Magma is draining underground from a sinking lava lake at Kilauea’s 4,091ft (1,247-metre) summit before flowing about 25 miles (40km) east and bursting from giant cracks, with two flows reaching the ocean just over three miles (5km) away.
Disturbing Images from Kiluea
The following images are 11 hours old as of 738AM Pacific on May 26. This was released by the local CBS affiliate.
