"Amber lava exploded over 200 meters into the air as Kilauea, one of the world's most active volcanoes, erupted on Thursday. Lava fountains began to erupt from the volcano after 11 am local time."
"The National Weather Service issued an ashfall warning for the south-eastern region of the Big Island until midnight local time. Large foam-like tephra up to football size may fall near the summit and up to several miles downwind."
"Kilauea has erupted dozens of times since 1952, with durations of past eruptions ranging from two weeks to over a year. A recent episode in 2018 was catastrophic, with lava flow subsuming homes and displacing residents."
Kilauea, one of the world's most active volcanoes, erupted, launching lava fountains over 200 meters high. The eruption produced 3.6 million cubic yards of lava. The Hawaii Volcanoes National Park was closed due to the eruption, with warnings issued for volcanic ash exposure. The National Weather Service cautioned about potential ashfall in the southeastern region of the Big Island. Kilauea has a history of eruptions, with significant events causing damage and displacement, and the area near the eruption site has been closed to the public since 2007 due to hazards.
