The destructive eruption of the Kilauea volcano on Hawaii’s Big Island has captured the attention of people around the world. The volcano’s flowing lava has forced at least 1,700 residents to flee and has destroyed at least 35 structures, including 26 homes.
The Hawaii Civil Defense reported a total of 12 fissures have been formed and has pleaded with tourists to avoid the Leilani Estates. Kilauea’s eruption on Thursday prompted frequent earthquakes, including a 6.9 magnitude quake on Friday.
Before erupting last week, Kilauea volcano had been spewing basaltic lava nearly continuously for 35 years, according to Popular Science.
