New eruption at Kilauea inside Halema'uma'u

 

Sunday night the Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park confirmed a new eruption of Kilauea inside Halema'uma'u crater.

The United State Geological Survey (USGS) has elevated Kilauea's alert level warning to red.

The Hawaii County Civil Defense reports that residents in Kau District in Wood Valley, Pahala, Naalehu and Ocean View should stay indoors to avoid exposure to ash.

 "Weak to light shaking, with maximum Intensity of IV, has been reported across the Island of Hawai‘i. At that intensity, significant damage to buildings or structures is not expected," USGS reports.

 

 

 

 

Lava erupted around 9:30 p.m. Sunday night.

"The situation is rapidly evolving and HVO will issue another statement when more information is available," USGS reports. 

Kilauea erupted in 2018, where the lava flowed over the course of four months.
