Hawaii volcano erupts, Kilauea volcano in huge eruption on Big Island.

Hawaii volcano erupts, Kilauea volcano in huge eruption on Big Island. THE KILAUEA volcano on Hawaii's Big Island has erupted, according to the US Geological Survey. Late on Sunday, December 20, an eruption began within the Halema’uma’u crater. The Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) Washington warned about a volcanic ash plume that rose up to estimated 30000 ft (9100 m) altitude or flight level 300. At 9.38 UTC on Monday (Sunday, December 20, 2020, 11.38pm local time), a USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said in a statement it had recorded a magnitude-4.4 earthquake located beneath Kīlauea Volcano's south flank on Sunday at 10.36pm HST. The statement added: "The earthquake was centered about 14 km (8.7 miles) south of Fern Forest, near the Hōlei Pali area of Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park at a depth of 6 km (4 miles). "Weak to light shaking, with maximum Intensity of IV, has been reported across the Island of Hawai‘i. "At that intensity, significant damage to buildings or structures is not expected." According to HVO acting Scientist-in-Charge David Phillips: “HVO continues to monitor Kīlauea as the situation is rapidly evolving with this evening’s eruption at the summit of Kīlauea. We will send out further notifications on Kīlauea and other Hawaiian volcanoes as we observe changes.” The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory has now upgraded Kilauea's alert level to WARNING, and aviation colour code to RED. A report said: “Shortly after approximately 9.30pm HST, the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) detected glow within Halemaʻumaʻu crater at the summit of Kīlauea Volcano. "An eruption has commenced within Kīlauea’s summit caldera. The situation is rapidly evolving and HVO will issue another statement when more information is available.” A red warning means eruption is imminent with significant emission of volcanic ash likely, or that an eruption is underway. The region has been hit by dozens of earthquakes in recent days, with the most recent being a magnitude-2.7 tremor on December 20 at 9.58pm local time (GMT-10), which struck six miles eats of Pahala. This was preceded by a further 19 earthquakes on December 20, all above magnitude-2.0. The USGS said the volcano had seen an increase in "long-period seismic signals beneath Kīlauea’s summit, which are attributed to magmatic activity".
