It looks like Pele is at it again and Kilauea is posing a significant danger to some folks in and around Puna.
Saw a video of a big crack opening up in Leilani estates.
I know we have some Ohana on the Big Island, and not sure if anyone would be in the path of potential lava flow. Hope y'all stay safe. I can't imagine the extra ash helps anyone's respiratory system either.

I have friends in Leilani and they have been evacuated. We are hoping for a minimal impact so folks can get home. As if the Puna area isn't experiencing enough difficulties...

I think it has been something like 30+years since a new vent was formed.  Seems this fizzure is just the beginning of a more active period, given all of the earthquakes, cracks, and rising ground.  I wouldn't be surprised if she develops a new vent somewhere.  The million dollar question is where.  I am sure USGS is keeping very busy these days.

Hopefully property damage is kept to a minimum.

Hope springs eternal
for the consumate fishermen.

I hope your friends stay safe and have no property damage.
My wife's family is in Na'alehu and Ocean View. Our niece is just over one, so I can't help but think about how this will increase the vog, and how it will effect respiratory systems

It may not be very productive,
but it's sure going to be interesting!

My family and I will be at the in-laws in Naalehu the beginning of July. While Kilauea has devestated the communities in Puna, the economic hit on top of that is just not any good.
