In the four weeks since Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano began erupting, over 80 homes and other structures have been destroyed, and it appears by warnings from local authorities, that the eruption is moving to a more dangerous phase.
Somewhat remarkably, only one person has been hurt by the lava since the eruptions began. Civil Defense Administrator Talmadge Magno told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser that a man sustained a “serious” injury on his leg two weeks ago when he was “lava-bombed” by splatter that hit him while he was sitting on the porch of a home near the Lanipuna Garden subdivision.
The incident reportedly shattered the victim’s leg from his shin to his foot and he was taken to a hospital to be treated, ABC News reported.
The lava flow from fissure 8 is wide and feeding multiple flow lobes that are slowly moving downhill. The flow is advancing about 50 yards per hour…
Fissure heights are continuing to reach 230 to 260 ft above ground level. The fountaining feeds a lava flow that is moving to the northeast.
And as Fox News reports, as that molten lava continued spewing, Hawaii County ordered all residents of a designated portion of the hard-hit Leilani Estates development to evacuate by Friday morning or face possible arrest.
Big Island Mayor Harry Kim declared a roughly 17-block swath of the estates “off limits indefinitely” and gave residents 24 hours to get out by 12:06 p.m. local time Friday, Reuters reported.
