Am I somewhat correct in saying there is or was an empty lava tube below these fissure? And, as someone posted that the lava will probably finally make it's way to the sea?

"This is a Civil Defense Message for Monday, May 14 at 6 o’clock in the morning.
Hawaiian Volcano Observatory reports that fissure 17 continues to be active. A narrow lava flow has been generated and is slowly moving toward the ocean, which is about two miles away. There are no homes or roads threatened at this time. Be aware, no sightseeing is permitted in the area. Due to the volcanic activity, the following are issued: On schools, Keonepoko Elementary, Pahoa High, Intermediate and Elementary Schools are open. Normal school bus routes are operating today. On road closures, Highway 132 is closed at Pohoiki Road intersection and a checkpoint is located on Highway 130 by Pahoa High School. Only local traffic allowed beyond all roadblocks. The residents of Puna are going through a very difficult time. We ask for your help and understanding." |

While we lay people might call a tube through which lava/magma flows... a lava tube regardless of depth. They seem to make a distinction. So to be clear the whole "rift zone" has tubes deep down... like a mile down with magma in them. One might call these tubes, lava tubes. But a volcanologist would say it isn't... because they think of lava tubes as something that forms near the surface after lava erupts. So you are correct in that there is magma under this area. Lava tube probably isn't the correct term. And the lava is coming from much deeper than a lava tube would imply. Also as a reminder there is Magma under ALL areas in the world... it's only a question of how far. |

some minor ash emissions from the main crater.
 For context... the camera is 1 mile away. This is tiny. Mt St Helens produces similar size emissions all the time without so much as foot note or passing comment on local news. There could be a larger ash emission in the coming days that would be significant... but the current ash is not a problem. Here's some pictures of similar size emissions from Mt St Helens in 2004

Few minor burps of ash today. Nothing much to worry about... well they wouldn't be around any volcano on the west coast... because we don't build houses and golf courses close to active craters... Closest viewing structure to Mt St Helens for example is 10 miles away... and it's another few miles before you get out of the protected park area and get businesses and houses.
So while these ash emissions are small... people are super close to them... way closer than they would be if this were a ring of fire volcano... so the pictures make them look large. In other news. Fissure 17 is still active but has slowed down a fair amount. The lava flow from it has slowed considerably and hardly moved during the day. There's some debate whether to call fissure 20... 20... or since there's sorta a gap... split it and call one 20 and the other 21. official maps so far show it as 20. Fissure 6 has reactivated and has a lava fountain going. The web cam showing Leilani Estates has 2 spots of glowing emissions. This view has been pitch black aside from the lights of the GeoThermal plant for most of the events so being able to see glowing emissions is a development. The left most glow is probably fissure 6. The right glow might be fissure 1, 7, or 8. But that's just my guess. Here's that view.

The person who wrote this works as a brain surgeon in his spare time:
“An explosive eruption from the summit would cause damage to the structures at the summit like the Hawaii Volcano Observatory or the Jaggar Museum & Overlook,” he added. Part of the U.S. Geological Survey's Volcano Hazards Program, the Hawaii Volcano Observatory is perched on the rim of Kilauea’s summit caldera. The Thomas A. Jaggar Museum, which is operated by the National Park Service, is located next to the Volcano Observatory.

People are just way closer to them than we're used to seeing such things. Any other volcano producing ash ... the pictures taken of it are likely more than 10 miles away from it... |

some pictures from this morning.
 5/16/2018 Lava spattering area from an area between fissures 16 and 20 photographed at 8:20 a.m. today.  5/16/2018 Same area between fissures 16 and 20 at 9:33 a.m. By the time geologists reached the site on foot, the spattering had died down and they were only hearing gas rushing sounds. Also video https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/observatories/hvo/multimedia_uploads/multimediaFile-2035.mp4 This video shows spattering at fissure 18, Kilauea Volcano's Lower East Rift Zone, at approximately 2:00 AM HST on May 16, 2018. The audio captures the sounds of explosions and burning vegetation. |

its really throttled back on the venting over hte last few hours.. been watching. I am wondering if it is building up. I also saw that last night it did launch some 2ft across pieces into one of the parking lots on the volcano.

I also saw that last night it did launch some 2ft across pieces into one of the parking lots on the volcano. the ash emissions so far are from small parts of the throat of the lava lake crater collapsing. The white plume is steam. If a large part of the throat collapses and blocks it up so the steam can't escape... that's when it's building up for a decent size steam explosion/ash eruption with flying chunks of rock. Since the camera only shows an updated image every 15 to 20 minutes... I don't know if we would be able to see such a warning sign before the eruption. We could go from steady steam emission to full explosion between web cam image updates. Never seeing the period of reduced or no steam emission that preceded it. |

here's that 2 foot rock in the parking lot.
 Close view of rock hurled from the Overlook crater during an explosive event last evening. The rock broke apart on impact, and was about 60 cm (24 in) before it hit the ground. The location is a few hundred meters (yards) south of the Overlook crater at the Halema‘uma‘u parking lot. Note the ash covering the parking lot, less than about 1 cm (0.4 in) in thickness. |
