Volcanoes Erupting All Over

California is Volcano Country

CLEAR LAKE Ca.
-The Kilauea eruption on Hawaii's Big Island is a reminder of the volcanic potential here in California.

Three California volcanoes are considered very high threat by the US Geological Survey: Mount Shasta, Mount Lassen, and the Long Valley Volcanic Region near Mammoth.

Three others are considered high threat: the Clear Lake Volcanic Field which includes Mt. Konocti, the Medicine Lake Volcano in Siskiou County, and the Salton Buttes in Southern California.

"Just like all the active faults in California, we know they're going to break," said Tim McCrink, Supervising Engineering Geologist at the California Geological Survey, as he compared volcanoes to earthquakes. "We know they're going to happen. We just don't know when."

A California volcanic eruption would be different than the creeping lava of Kilauea.

"What we would expect here would be more like Mount Saint Helens," McCrink said. "More of an explosive eruption. So that puts a lot of rock and dust and gasses in the air."

But there will likely be clear warning signs if a California Volcano is getting ready to go: earthquakes, gas emissions, deformation of land surfaces. People would likely have ample warning to evacuate, explained McCrink.

Mt. Lassen last erupted in 1915, and scientists believe Mt. Shasta last erupted in 1786. Washington's Mount Saint Helens erupted in 1980.

Hawaii's Kilauea volcano could soon send boulders and ash shooting out of its summit crater in the kind of explosive eruption last displayed nearly a century ago. CBC science commentator Bob McDonald explains why Kilauea has been continually erupting for centuries and how it compares to other volcanoes.

Merapi Volcano in Indonesia Erupts, People Rush to Flee Their Homes (VIDEO)

One of the most active volcanos in the country, Mount Merapi in central Java, has blasted a huge cloud of smoke and ashes 18,000ft into the sky, shutting down Adi Sucipto airport and forcing people from nearby villages to evacuate as quickly as possible.

Locals located within 3 miles from the eruption have had to flee, evading ashes, hot sand and pyroclastic material from the volcano, with many heading to barracks set up for the displaced.

Residents in Yogyakarta, a city of 2.4 million located 17 miles to the south of the volcano are not believed to be in danger.

The eruption, however, has not raised the alert status of the volcano, which remains at the normal level, with no eruption expected in the near future.

Gunung Merapi (Fire mountain in Indonesian) is a 2,968-meter (9,737 ft) volcano on Java and the most active of the Indonesian archipelago's 500 volcanos. In 2010, an eruption of the volcano killed 347 people and forced thousands to leave their villages.

13.05.2018 - Doomsday for Hawaii? New Lava Vent Threatens Big Island (Video)https://sputniknews.com/us/201805131064402593-usa-hawaii-lava-kilauea-threat/Another lava vent has opened on Hawaii’s Big Island as the US authorities warn of a possible explosive eruption of the island’s Kilauea volcano, the Hawaii County Civil Defense said.
“Hawaiian Volcano Observatory reports a new fissure in the lower East Rift Zone. Lava spatter was reported east of the geothermal plant property and northeast of Lanipuna Subdivision … Continuing earthquakes, ground deformation, and sulphur dioxide emissions mean additional outbreaks of lava are possible,” the Civil Defense said on its website late on Saturday.

— Hawaii News Now (@HawaiiNewsNow) 12 мая 2018 г.

The new fissure is the 16th that has emerged since the beginning of Kilauea’s latest eruption on May 3.

The US Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said on Friday that 15 previous fissures have not produced any lava since May 9. However, lava previously emitted from those openings has reportedly destroyed 36 structures, including over 20 homes, and covered 117 acres of land.

The observatory also said that the withdrawal of lava from the summit lake of Halemaumau crater could lead to a steam-driven eruption. It could generate ash plumes as high as 20,000 feet, which would affect the area of up to 12 miles. The biggest danger from such eruption is ash fallout, according to civil defense.

Meanwhile, the Hawaii National Guard jointly with other US authorities are developing a mass evacuation plan for thousands of Big Island residents in light of a possible explosive eruption of Kilauea volcano, the guard’s spokesman told Sputnik.
Unbelievable.. Listen to the sound!​

“We are looking at a mass evacuation plan just in case the roads get cut off on both sides of the Puna area and a lot of residents will be stranded,” Maj. Jeff Hickman said.

However, the spokesman did not specify the exact number of people who would be evacuated, but said that it probably will be “in the thousands.”

In order to develop a mass evacuation plan, the Hawaii National Guard takes several different metrics into account, including the number of soldiers, available trucks and helicopters, and the number of residents in the potential evacuation zone, Hickman added.

“Right now, it’s not a mandatory evacuation. Local authorities are putting out information and letting people make their own decisions … It’s not our job to scare the public, it’s our job to educate, so they can make the most informed decision,” the spokesman noted.

As if Hawaii hasn't already been through enough, the USGS is now saying an "explosive eruption" is possible in the coming weeks. Ballistic projectiles and ashfall are the primary concerns if an eruption does occur. pic.twitter.com/f8DvWlV4RL

12.05.2018 - Hawaii Authorities Warn of Possible Powerful Volcanic Explosion
Hawaii Authorities Warn of Possible Powerful Volcanic Explosion

The residents of lower Puna district on Hawaii’s Big Island should be prepared to evacuate at any moment amid the possibility of an explosive eruption of the island’s Kilauea volcano, the Hawaii County Civil Defense Agency said in a statement on Saturday.

"Residents of lower Puna between Kapoho and Kalapana, are advised to be on the alert in the event of possible gas emissions and volcanic eruption. There may be little to no advance notice to evacuate, so take this time to prepare," the statement, published on the Hawaii County Civil Defense website, read.

The US Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) said in a press release earlier on Saturday that US President Donald Trump had approved a major disaster declaration for the state of Hawaii, providing state and local authorities with federal assistance in their recovery efforts in the areas affected by the ongoing eruption of the Kilauea volcano.

"Federal funding is available to the state and eligible local governments and certain private nonprofit organizations on a cost-sharing basis for emergency work and the repair or replacement of facilities damaged by the Kilauea volcanic eruption and earthquakes in Hawaii County," FEMA said in the release.

Willie Nunn, the FEMA federal coordinating officer in the affected area, said that "additional designations may be made at a later date" depending on further damage assessments.

The funding was disbursed to the Hawaii authorities after Governor David Ige signed a disaster declaration request on Wednesday. The governor's office said the estimated cost to protect residents over the next 30 days would likely exceed $2.9 million.

Ige expressed his gratitude to the federal authorities as his request for a Presidential Disaster Declaration had been approved.
 
"We Are Telling People To Plan For The Worst": Hawaii Braces For Explosive New Eruptions

Sixteen fissures have opened up on the eastern flank of Kilauea since its initial eruption eight days ago - oozing relatively cool, slow moving magma left over from a similar incident in 1955. Scientists now worry that fresh magma from deeper within the earth is about to come surging behind it.
Yesterday we reported on a series of powerful earthquakes which have hit The Big Island since it Kilauea began erupting.

In other words, what's happened over the last eight days was just "cleaning out the pipes" so to speak.

"Additional designations may be made at a later date if requested by the state and warranted by the results of further damage assessments," the White House added in a statement.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) chief Brock Long named deputy Federal Coordinating Officer Willie Nunn as the agency's top official overseeing the relief efforts.

“As more fissures open and toxic gas exposure increases, the potential of a larger scale evacuation increases. A mass evacuation of the lower Puna District would be beyond current county and state capabilities, and would quickly overwhelm our collective resources,” Ige said.
Federal assistance would be necessary to enable us to successfully conduct such large-scale operations.

Cracks in Hawaii volcano roar amid warnings of more

PAHOA, Hawaii (Reuters) -
New fissures roaring like jet engines and spewing magma have opened on Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano, piling lava as high as a four-story building as the U.S. Geological Survey warned that more outbreaks were likely.
Hawaii braces for worse lava flows : Hawaii braces for worse lava flows - Reuters TV
Within hours of opening, the fissure had piled reddish-black lava about 40 feet (12 meters) high and at least 150 feet (45 meters) in length. Chunks of magma were being spewed 100 feet (30 meters) in the air.

The intense heat left onlookers drenched with sweat, and the air was filled with an acrid, burned scent. But with billowing gas and smoke blowing in the opposite direction, there was no pungent smell of toxic sulfur dioxide in the air.

Shortly after the fissure opened, the Geological Survey’s Hawaii Volcano Observatory said seismic activity remained “elevated” at Kilauea’s 4,000-feet-high (1,200-meter-high) summit. The USGS reported a shallow but small earthquake with a magnitude of 3.5 hit the island on Saturday

BIVN)
Hawaii County Civil Defense administrator Talmadge Magno and USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory geologist Janet Babb spoke with media in Hilo during the daily press conference at 3 p.m. on Sunday.

A few hours later it was reported that a new fissure, fissure 18, has opened up near Halekamahina Loop Road between fissure 16 and 17. Active fumes and lava spatter is occurring at this time, civil defense reported.

“This newest fissure is on private property, do not trespass,” officials stated. Scientists said continued earthquake activity and additional outbreaks in the area are likely.

Due to the volcanic activity, the following are issued:
  • Residents of lower Puna: there may be little to no advance notice to evacuate, so take this time to prepare. If you evacuate voluntarily, pet-friendly shelters are open at Pahoa Community Center and Kea’au Community Center.
  • Highway 132 is closed at Pohoiki Road intersection. Only local traffic allowed on Highway 132 (Pahoa-Kapoho Road) and Highway 137 (Beach Road).
  • Highway 130 is closed at the intersection of Highway 132. Only local traffic allowed into Leilani Subdivision. Highway 130 remains closed between Malama Street and Kama’ili Road.
  • Off-road sightseeing is prohibited. Stay out of the active eruption area. Allow the residents to care for their business.
  • Vacation rentals in lower Puna are directed to cease operations to relieve the demand for water as well as reduce the area population so emergency responders can focus on residents who live in the area.
Due to the continued volcanic activity on Hawaiʻi Island, three charter schools will be closed tomorrow, Monday, May 14, according to the Public Charter School Commission:
  • Volcano School of Arts & Sciences
  • Ke Kula ʻo Nāwahīokalaniʻōpuʻu Iki, LPCS
  • Hawaii Academy of Arts and Science Public Charter School
