Dozens of quakes rattle Hawaii volcano, eruption possible

Dozens of earthquakes are rattling Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano as magma flows into a new area east of the Puu Oo vent. Officials with the U.S. Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory say the increased activity Wednesday, May 2, 2018, is associated with the collapse of the crater floor at the Puu Oo vent.

Oh they always warn ppl for the hell of it. Esp. when there isn't anything to be concerned about.

Good. Hawaii needs more land.

Over the past month, HVO monitoring instruments have recorded a sharp inflationary trend at Pu'u 'O'o. Accompanying this inflation, the floor of Pu'u 'O'o crater has been uplifted, with lava intermittently spilling onto the crater floor. Brighter colors in these thermal images indicate the recent lava flows. Similar episodes of inflation and crater floor uplift in June 2014 and May 2016 resulted in lava erupting from new vents on Pu'u 'O'o. The current activity is similar to these previous patterns, indicating an increased likelihood-but not a guarantee-of possible vent changes at Pu'u 'O'o. The U.S. Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory observations and measurements of the Pu'u 'O'o eruption on Kilauea Volcano's East Rift Zone during the past month suggest that the magma system beneath Pu'u 'O'o has become increasingly pressurized. If this activity continues, a new vent could form at any time, either on the Pu'u 'O'o cone or along adjacent areas of the East Rift Zone. The Pu'u 'O'o eruption continues to supply lava to the 61g flow and the lava pond within the Pu'u 'O'o crater. Since mid-March 2018, a tiltmeter and GPS station on Pu'u 'O'o have recorded a pronounced inflationary trend of the cone, and recent webcam images have detected simultaneous uplift of the Pu'u 'O'o crater floor by several yards. These observations provide evidence that magma is accumulating at shallow depths beneath Pu'u 'O'o. Similar episodes of inflation and uplift of the crater floor at Pu'u 'O'o occurred in May and June 2014 and May 2016. These episodes preceded the opening of new vents on Pu'u 'O'o that produced the June 27 flow (active 2014 to 2016) and the 61g flow (active since 2016), respectively. Breakouts from the 61g lava flow are located close to Pu'u 'O'o and above the Pulama Pali within the Kahauale'a Natural Area Reserve (NAR) and Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, respectively. Because of volcanic hazards, the Hawai'i Department of Land and Natural Resources has restricted public access to the Kahauale'a Natural Area Reserve since 2007. Areas within Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park are also closed. A new vent located on the cone of Pu'u 'O'o would erupt lava flows onto one or more sides of the cone that would initially advance downslope rapidly within a few miles from the vent. Because of the potential for a sudden breakout anywhere on Pu'u 'O'o, the cone is extremely hazardous. The location of a new vent or potential lava-flow paths cannot be estimated until such time that a new vent forms and stabilizes. The Pu'u 'O'o vent began forming a distinct central-cone during episode 3 in March-April 1983. By the end of episode 4 in mid June, the main part of Pu'u 'O'o was a steep-sided spatter cone about 20-30 m high and 100 m wide. The cone was breached on the south side, through which lava spilled during subsequent episodes and fed flows that extended into the western part of Royal Gardens subdivision. At the end of episode 8, the cone was nearly 60 m (200 ft) above the pre-eruption ground surface. Kilauea Volcano's East Rift Zone eruption began in January 1983 with high lava fountains that built a cinder-and-spatter cone, later named Pu'u 'O'o. Subsequent activity included continuous lava effusion from vents on Pu'u 'O'o or within a few miles east or west of Pu'u 'O'o. Most of the lava flows erupted from these vents have advanced down the south flank of Kilauea, often reaching the ocean.

You post this as if it is bad. Hawaii is one of the most active volcano's on the planet. Heck it erupted for more than 10,000 consecutive days just a few years ago.
 
There are a lot of quakes on the fault lines.......
