Description

Evacuation is recommended. Officials are warning of new danger to the public as rain threatens to combine with the gases of the erupting volcano to create acid rain and vog which is volcanic fog. Both are extremely harmful to humans and animals. 14 Fissures have now opened up and scientists say the eruptions and earthquakes may continue for years. We need to find new ways to help in these disaster situations and we need to find them now.

God bless everyone,

Hawaii Volcano Could Explode, Release Toxic Smog in Coming Weeks, Scientists Say

At least 36 structures have been destroyed by lava in a residential neighborhood on Hawaii's Big Island.
Geologists warn that the Kilauea volcano could erupt and shoot boulders, rocks and ash into the surrounding area in the coming weeks.
Two new fissures spewed lava on Tuesday, and residents were ordered to flee their homes again.
The number of lava-venting fissures in the neighborhood has grown to at least 14, officials said.

After residents were forced to flee their Hawaii homes yet again, geologists warned Wednesday that the Kilauea Volcano could erupt, shooting ash and debris into the air and releasing toxic emissions over the upcoming weeks.

Geologists with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) say if lava were to seep below groundwater level under the caldera of the volcano, it would raise the risk of an explosion, HawaiiNewsNow.com reports. The rush of water could trigger steam-driven eruptions, which could cause a blast of ash and steam, as well as emissions of sulfur dioxide.

"While the toxic gases and volcanic fog are relatively confined right now, winds may shift on Thursday and Friday into a favorable direction that may blow these pollutants to the other Hawaiian Islands," said weather.com meteorologist Jonathan Belles.

After nearly a full day of quiet Tuesday, when lava retreated and residents were allowed to return to their Hawaii homes to gather belongings, evacuations were ordered yet again as two new fissures opened up and spewed lava, threatening additional homes near the Kilauea Volcano.

In the Leilani Estates neighborhood, where most of the 1,700 evacuees reside, a total of 14 fissures have opened in the ground – two of which formed Tuesday afternoon. One of the fissures destroyed a home, officials said, the 36th structure destroyed since the volcanic eruptions began last Thursday.

"Evacuate Lanipuna Gardens now, immediate danger. Evacuate NOW," read the emergency alert sent to residents of the Lanipuna Gardens neighborhood Tuesday afternoon.

Among the evacuees were members of the Kealoha family, who moved to Hawaii after they were forced from their Northern California home by wildfires. Now, they're on the run again.

"I was gonna raise my daughters here, but it doesn't look like it was going to turn out to be the scenario we hoped," Kelena Kealoha told Hawaii News Now.

Those who evacuated included some residents, like 76-year-old Edwin Montoya, who chose not to obey previous orders to leave their homes. Montoya told the Associated Press that his decision to stay until Tuesday was twofold: he wanted to care for the animals on the family farm and keep an eye out for looters who might want to take his belongings.

"I'm in my truck right now on my way up the road," he told the AP. "The police came down here and made me."

But even the 13th and 14th fissures weren't enough to convince some Leilani Estates residents to leave their homes. Tour guide Scott Wiggers said officials have come by his house urging him to evacuate, but he still hasn't left.

"I'm in the safest part in the subdivision," he told the AP. "There's no threat to my house whatsoever."

Wiggers also explained that he lives on the outer edge of the evacuation zone, and is ready to leave if he decides his life is in danger.

"I am packed. My truck is loaded. I'm not a dumb-dumb. If I see a threat, I'm out of here," he added.

Officials allowed evacuees to return to their homes Monday and Tuesday to check on their belongings and said residents would be able to go back to their homes every day from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. until further notice. Despite the new fissures, residents were expected to be allowed to return to their homes again Wednesday in areas deemed safe by authorities, KHON-TV reported.

So far, the lava flows have consumed 104 acres of land, officials announced Tuesday night.
