UPDATE: Roads in Hawaii begin cracking near Kilauea as volcanic eruption imminent

[WEATHER53]

Mr B Bob
You know this stuff. Is this peak or more to come?

 

[Billy_Bob]

The folks that live downhill from the crater do so at their own peril... The last time this particular community was evacuated was 4 years ago...

Yeah all the time .
The last time lava threatened Puna was in 2014, when a flow closed roads for weeks in Pahoa, forced evacuations and claimed several structures, including one home.

I'll swear I just said that... National Guard was just called out... Leilani Estates has a mandatory evacuation as of 1800 hrs HST... This is a subdivision where homes are located...

If they are not gone already they are in serious trouble

Fox News just reported that the magma flow has reached the housing area nearest it and it appears that it will take the whole subdivision and possibly an older one nearer the ocean as the old conduit venting magma to the ocean has collapsed and plugged forcing the flow above ground.

There' s a lot of little quakes going on that's for sure the ones in blue and yellow are the bigger ones, I only see 2 blue on this shot.

IMHO this is just the beginning.

With the lava flow now above ground everything is going to go.. the last time it erupted for about a week but it didn't have the crust displacement. This is going to be much bigger.

Is this the Big One? I don't think so.

This volcano is not known for violent eruptions.

When it erupted in 1955, the eruption lasted for 3 months.

Glad it happened during the day, not night.

Glad it happened during the day, not night.

For the evacuations, no truer words could be spoken...

Most of these home are self financed and have no insurance because of the location, so what these folks are able gather is what they have...

Yeah, someone they just interviewed felt what they could get out would be it, but said at least they will be safe. I was surprised when he said they had not made any evacuation plans.
