Whoa.....two separate volcanoes erupting! Last time we had that was the eruption at the summit of Mauna Loa during the Kilauea eruptions. Mauna Loa was much more worrisome due to its size and output. The lava flow came with in 3 miles of Kaumana town, which is only a couple miles from Hilo. That had people sweating .
Lucky your volcanoes are out along the Aleutians.
