Residents and social media posts show video of lava spewing through a long fissure cutting through the community, and a dramatic drone video shows the lava flow extending for miles, spatter bubbling up from roadways and forest.

Resident Ikaika Marzo said he could also see "fountains" of lava in the community topping 100 to 125 feet

American Restoration ​lol...its draining but also is continuously being replenished...and has found another path out..but instead of the ocean..it ends up in this subdivision

PAHOA, Hawaii -- Geologists warned Wednesday that Hawaii's Kilauea volcano could erupt explosively and send boulders, rocks and ash into the air around its summit in the coming weeks.

The risk will rise as lava drains from the summit crater down the flank of the volcano, and explosions could occur if the lava drops below the groundwater level, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

There's also potential for ash, steam and sulfur dioxide emissions.

Kilauea is one of the world's most active volcanoes.

It has destroyed 36 structures since it began releasing lava from fissures that opened in a Big Island neighborhood about 25 miles (40.2 kilometers) east of the summit crater. There are now 15 of the vents spread through Leilani Estates and neighboring Lanipuna Gardens.

In the weeks ahead, the volcano could eject blocks up to 2 yards (1.8 meters) in diameter a little less than a mile (1.6 kilometer) away, the USGS said. It may also send pebbles shooting into the air several miles away, the USGS said.

Hawaii braces for worse lava flows from erupting volcano

PAHOA, Hawaii (Reuters) - More destructive lava flows could soon hit Hawaii’s Big Island as the Kilauea volcano erupts, posing a greater threat than oozing magma that has so far destroyed dozens of homes and forced thousands to evacuate, scientists said.
