"Is a Krakatoa style explosion possible? The large tremblors could be underground steam explosions!"

I doubt it. Lots of solid rock down there. The only place the lava approaches the surface of the crust is on the upper slopes of the volcano.

And Kilauea is a shield volcano, so it’s an oozer not a Plinian-style blower of chunks. Something to do with the gas content of the magma, I think. Though the lava hunter in the link above said this eruption cycle seems to be different, smells way stinkier, more metallic, and seems to have more pressure behind it.

The tectonic plates a re moving and as they do, new weak spot open up. The Earth quakes trouble me and they weren’t so active the last time the lava flowed.
