I wonder where all that lava is going.
I mean other than down the street. |

I've got friends that live in Hilo. Both were having a terrible time trying to sleep when they were having all of those tiny quakes. I guess that now the vent(s) have opened the shaking has diminished.
The part that is difficult to grasp is that this situation could last for days, weeks, or centuries. It could continue to spew lava for generations, changing the geography of the entire SE coast of the island. |

Volcanology is a pretty inexact science. Knowing what these vents foreshadow is next to impossible.
Is everything east of the rift destined to slide off into the ocean? Will a new cinder cone form there like the Paricutin event in Mexico? Nobody knows. I'm guessing many of those poor folks who live in that subdivision may never be able to reinhabit their homes if not due to the noxious gasses...because their houses burn down. Sad situation. Fascinating, but sad. What were those homes worth before this event? Will insurance cover those loses? |

No. They were uninsurable. The Big Island has geologic zones that dictate whether you can borrow against the land/home, or get insurance on it. IIRC the most stable zones are in the north and west. The SE part of the island is populated by a lot of relatively low income folks in cheap housing. It's a risky place to build, obviously. A bunch of houses were taken out in 2014 by a similar event. A quick Zillow search shows small houses from $100-150K and larger houses from $200-300K. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/volcanoes/kilauea/status.html
Monday, May 7, 2018, 7:45 AM HST Summary: Eruption of lava and gas continues at a low level along Klauea Volcano's lower East Rift Zone within the Leilani Estates subdivision. Overnight, active emission of lava and spatter at multiple fissures was minimal. This is likely only a pause in activity; additional outbreaks or a resumption of activity are anticipated as seismicity continues in the area. Deflationary tilt at the summit of the volcano continues and the lava lake level continues to drop. There is no active lava in the Puu area. Aftershocks from Friday's magnitude-6.9 earthquake continue and more should be expected, with larger aftershocks potentially producing rockfalls and associated ash clouds above Puu and Halemaumau crater. Seismicity at Klauea's summit remains elevated. Lower East Rift Zone Observations: Lava emission from fissures was minimal overnight. Strong degassing continues from several fissures. Yesterday, a lava flow advanced northward from fissure 8 about 0.9 km (0.6 miles) by 10 a.m., HST before stopping. In the past 12 hours, deformation of the ground in the area has slowed. Ground cracks are reported crossing Highway 130 west of the eruption site. Overall seismicity in the area has not changed significantly overnight. Earthquakes continue and seismic stations nearest the fissures record seismicity likely related to ongoing vigorous degassing. Hazard Analysis: Continued eruptive activity (fluctuating and intermittent) in the lower East Rift Zone is likely. New outbreaks or resumption of lava production at existing vents can occur at any time. Areas downslope of erupting fissures are at risk of lava inundation. The general area of Leilani Estates remains at the greatest risk. However, as the eruption progresses, other areas of the lower East Rift Zone may also be at risk. High levels of volcanic gas including sulphur dioxide are being emitted from the fissure vents. In addition, smoke from burning houses and burning asphalt is a health concern and should be avoided. As the lava lake level inside Halemaumau drops, rockfalls from the enclosing walls may increase in frequency prompting explosions of spatter from the lake onto the nearby crater rim and lofting plumes of ash. Dustings of ash from these events can occur downwind. Additional aftershocks from the magnitude-6.9 earthquake are expected and some may be strong. |

We were going there next week to see some friends. Cancelled.
I have a another friend who lives in that neighborhood with her mom. Her mom's house is gone and she is not sure if hers is going to make it. I talked to her last night and told her to leave the area. The government "experts" have no clue what is going to happen and things could come apart fairly quickly. They were headed to Oahu last night to stay with some friends. I hope this is about all this event is going to do but only time will tell. We might be witness to a new volcano being born. |

Will a new cinder cone form there like the Paricutin event in Mexico? View Quote The HI lavas (derived from a mantle plume powered hot spot) are very low in gas content as compared to those present in subduction zone (e.g., Mexico, CA/OR/WA) volcanoes. They tend to flow gently instead of producing Plinean-style eruptions. As such, you get big shield volcanoes. When a hot spot moves under fresh country (basement) rock and that rock is mixed into the melt, gas content goes up. This has resulted in periodic tuff-forming eruptions in places like Yellowstone and La Garita Caldera, after which the gas content goes back down when the primary magma supply is from the mantle plume itself. The HI hot spot looks to be in the latter phase at present, even though it continues its migration via plate tectonics. Should the Pacific plate accelerate over it at a rate faster than the country rock can be melted, the next significant heat pulse up the plume will result in a lot more gaseous magma than is normally produced. Then you may get your cinder cone, but more than likely it'll be a stratovolcano until it goes dormant and collapses or erodes. |
