The world's largest active volcano has erupted in Hawaii for the first time in nearly four decades, officials said.
Mauna Loa erupted at 11:30 p.m. local time Sunday (4:30 a.m. ET Monday), the U.S. Geological Survey said. It was the first eruption since 1984, according to its Hawaii Volcano Observatory daily update.
The eruption began in Moku‘āweoweo, the summit caldera of Mauna Loa, inside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, the agency said, as it upgraded the volcano's alert level from an "advisory" to a "warning."
"At this time, lava flows are contained within the summit area and are not threatening downslope communities," the agency said in a news release. "Winds may carry volcanic gas and possibly fine ash and Pele’s hair downwind," it said, referring to a type of lava.
Residents at risk from Mauna Loa lava flows were advised to "review preparedness and refer to Hawai'i County Civil Defense information for further guidance."
"Based on past events, the early stages of a Mauna Loa eruption can be very dynamic and the location and advance of lava flows can change rapidly," the agency warned. It said that if the eruption remains in Moku‘āweoweo, lava flows would most likely be contained. "However, if the eruptive vents migrate outside its walls, lava flows may move rapidly downslope," it said.

I’ve been to the old airport numerous times.
They have a trail and calisthenics station…

Well, first off someone would need to explain where the Azores are. Then they would have to explain why that phrase is funny. Then you would have to deal with those unable to understand sarcasm, and who attack you for saying a “lie.”
It’s best to not really say anything these days.
(I laughed…but I laugh at everything these days.)
Damned cowbodys! Always causing trouble…
What’s that Jimmy Buffet tune? “When the volcano blows”

“I like how the lava is ‘contained’ and anything downhill is not at risk.”
Well, they DID put up chain link fencing! Same concept as a screen door on a submarine.
Ask any EnviroWeenie! The DO try to save us all from ourselves, don’t ‘cha know! They are pure of heart!
*SNORT*
But this is green energy. Just put a giant balloon over the mouth of the volcano, and you can capture all this natural gas.
Sooooo, what’s this gonna do to the CO2 in the atmosphere? Nine years left to live before we figure out how to cork these anti-Gaia, Pro-Pele volcanoes.

I don’t know....
How about The One’s beach front home?
Wasn’t there a story about a week ago about some dude peeing on it and the locals were upset because they said it was disrespectful to their god Pele?
Yeah, it was Mona Kea, but maybe Loa is showing anger for it.
Hasn’t it been constantly erupting for like the last 20 years?
No, not since 1984
Climate change again?
Because democrats would be encouraging eruptions if it meant more taxes or can be blamed on Republicans.
Good news!
Because in Isaac ("he will laugh") is Abraham's seed called.
Haman was a very bad man, coming from the humorless seed of Amalek. Defective. No funny bone.
Jewish humor is on every street corner, but "Amalekite Humor"?? Haman was not amused.
That's why he ended up as gallows humor personified. The very name of the game:
That's no joke, because he was truly "NG" inside, "no good."
HANGMAN
HANGMAN
Gotta laugh.
If you're really into this business, you'll understand why nobody gets out of bondage without the bones of Joseph. Joseph is much-associated with both "good" and "yesod", which is a foundation.
Bob Vila would be the first to tell you that the number one sign of a house with good bones is
No wonder Joseph was run out of town on a rail. There goes the neighborhood!
Make sure you throw in Fauci, Schumer, Schiff and a few others--just to make sure.
Avoid the Big Island if you are a general tourist. It is a tourist rip off. Even Oahu is better than the Big Island. At least on Oahu, prices are more reasonable. But the best island is Maui (of the 3 that I stayed on).
And fast! Wouldn’t want to live anywhere near an active volcano.
Volcanoes are the evidence against anthropogenic climate change.
