Kilauea Volcano Causing a Major Lava Flow

The Big Island of Hawaii is causing some spectacular sites for locals and visitors. The active volcano Kilauea has been erupting in a spot since July 21st of this year and has funneled into a mile long flow.

The flow, pictured here thanks to USGS, is beginning to get a few people worried as it flows towards some homes located seven miles away. Although the flow is obviously slow it still has a few people worried as it trickles along.

The state warns that people should be worried because conditions can change at any time with vents and flows popping up unpredictably. It’s tough to gauge so be careful out there and if you have any questions contact the government or the USGS or someone of authority on the matter. We here at Aloha Update don’t have any authority on lava flows. We just think they’re cool to look at.
