Archived Update from the Big Island: It has begun (whatever)
submitted 2.6 years ago by Le_Squish
Overnight, cracks that had been one inch, widen to more than a foot in the Leilani subdivision. Roads were closed as the county covered the cracks with metal plates. The island awoke to a brillant red sunrise but earthquakes had decreased.
This morning 10:30 HST we had an earthquake now reported as a 5.0 at Pu'u O'o that shook all of Puna and Hilo. Shortly after the quake a reddish plume could be seen rising from into the sky as Pu'u O'o apparently collapsed.
At 4:30 pm, lava started breaching the surface in Leilani subdivision at mohala street. It appears to be a fissure event and evacuation has begun.
Local news report with video: http://www.khon2.com/news/local-news/agencies-prepare-for-possible-eruption-from-kilauea-volcano/1155831630
I currently have not heard word of how fast the fissure is opening and in what direction. Will report when I find out.
Fissure Update: Residents have pooled data and found that the crack extends the entire length of the subdivision but currently only about 200 feet or so is erupting.

It's also not safe to sky dive here. Wind too strong.
