Kilauea Volcano may be getting ready for another event

Naw, he's just sayin' ,"mine's bigger than yours!"

 

The main, and largest crater in the Kilauea caldera. Jagger Museum overlooks this crater.

 

Richards reads to him. (Envision that!)

 

Just not sure how much satisfaction it gives him.

 

Or under my thumb.

 

Predicting what's next is like tumblin dice.

 

The SO2 does create a lot of dead flowers

 

Nope. But read this article and see how devastating the Yellowstone Supervolcano would be to most of the United States, in all kinds of ways, compared to this limited effect eruption that’s going on in Hawaii.

Interesting in that while the Pu'u O'o eruption phase of Kilauea has lasted ~35 years (there's a possibility that the Pu'u O'o phase may have ended), back in 1445 Kilauea produced a phase called the AiLa'au eruption which lasted approximately 50 years. If I heard correctly, Kilauea has (pre)historically produced even longer eruptive phases in the distant past. Kinda blows my mind.

 

True

 

Some video from yesterday.

 

I believe today makes day 72 or 73 of this eruption. The video here is from the 10th. The flow went through certain changes in it's path to the ocean and is moving in a southerly direction. At this point, 700+ houses have been taken.

Halema'uma'u crater in the Kilauea caldera continues to have explosive/collapse events every 25-35 hours (up from approx. 20-24 hours). Each event registers a magnitude of 5.2 to 5.4 that is regulated to the immediate area. Faulting and ground cracking has extended pretty wide from the crater area.
