Residents and visitors should minimize exposure to these volcanic particles, which can cause skin and eye irritation. Strong winds may waft lighter particles to greater distances.

Īdditional hazards include Pele's hair and other lightweight volcanic glass fragments from the lava fountains that will fall downwind of the fissure vents and dust the ground within a few hundred meters (yards) of the vent (s). As SO 2 is continuously released from the summit during the eruption, it will react in the atmosphere to create the visible haze known as vog (volcanic smog) downwind of Kīlauea. Vog information can be found at. High levels of volcanic gas-primarily water vapor (H 2O), carbon dioxide (CO 2), and sulfur dioxide (SO 2)-are the primary hazard of concern, as this hazard can have far-reaching effects down-wind. Hazard Analysis: The eruption at Kīlauea’s summit is occurring within a closed area of Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. Measurements from continuous gas monitoring stations in the middle East Rift Zone-the site of 1983–2018 eruptive activity-remain below detection limits for SO 2. HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - NOAA forecasters are predicting the Central Pacific will see a near-to above-normal hurricane season this year as El Nio conditions develop, warming up ocean. Rift Zone Observations: No unusual activity has been noted along the East Rift Zone or Southwest Rift Zone steady but low rates of ground deformation and seismicity continue along both. A sulfur dioxide (SO 2) emission rate of approximately 160 tonnes per day was measured on Thursday, June 22.

Summit tiltmeters tracked gradual inflation since the pause. Summit Observations: After the pause in the eruption on June 19, seismic activity-including eruptive tremor-in the summit region has been low. A live-stream video of the crater is available at. When the initial portion of the Honolulu rail system, called Skyline, opens to the public on June 30, nine stations will extend from East Kapolei to Aloha Stadium, according to the Honolulu. Overnight webcam views have shown some incandescence from previously erupted lava as it continues to cool on the crater floor. Halemaʻumaʻu Observations: Currently no lava is actively erupting in Halemaʻumaʻu crater. All recent eruptive activity was confined to Halemaʻumaʻu crater within the summit caldera at Kīlauea, and no unusual activity has been noted along the volcano’s East Rift Zone or Southwest Rift Zone.

Windows are boarded up in preparation for Hurricane Lane in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, on Wednesday. 32 Hawaii News Now, Flash Floods Inundate East Honolulu, March 7, 2012. He added that space is expected to be limited and people going there are expected to bring their own supplies. Many houses on Oahu were built on ridges that were highly vulnerable to. "They are, however, a safer option than remaining in areas prone to flooding, or exposed ridge lines or in older homes with wood frames or single-wall construction," he said. Hiro Toiya, deputy director of the Department of Emergency Management for the city and county of Honolulu, said at a news conference Wednesday most of the shelters that will be opened on Oahu Thursday morning have not been designed or reinforced to withstand winds greater than a tropical storm. Meanwhile, Oahu Emergency Management officials, who've been reviewing shelter sites across the island this week, concluded that some couldn't withstand even a category 1 hurricane, NBC affiliate KHNL of Honolulu reported. #HurricaneLane is 200 miles away from #Hawaii but outermost rain bands already causing flooding.
