Hawaii volcano

Lava began erupting at the Halemaʻumaʻu crater and reached heights of 13 to 30 feet and covered an area of approximately 370 acres. The biggest threat to those in the area is volcanic gas.

The lava entered Green Lake at 10 a.m. local time and had evaporated all the water by 3 p.m., according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

The volcano, which has showed a big upsurge in activity for the past month, has engulfed two additional subdivisions — Vacationland and Kapoho Beach Lots.

More than 1,700 people have evacuated from a neighborhood on Hawaii's Big Island following a volcanic eruption last week. Ground fissures continue to spew lava and gas into residential neighborhoods.

The U.S. Geological Survey said lava was spewing into a neighborhood near the Kilauea volcano, which briefly erupted Thursday, and that a 6.9 magnitude earthquake was reported in the area.
