2018 lower Puna eruption
The 2018 lower Puna eruption is an ongoing volcanic event on the island of Hawaii on Kīlauea volcano's East Rift Zone that began on May 3, 2018. Outbreaks of lava fountains up to 300 feet (90 m) high, lava flows and volcanic gas in the Leilani Estates subdivision were preceded by earthquakes and ground deformation that created cracks in the roads. The next day, May 4, a 6.9 magnitude earthquake hit Puna. After the initial outbreak, additional outbreaks of lava from new fissures in the Puna area occurred.
As of May 19, 2018 over 20 fissures have erupted lava in or near the Leilani Estates and Lanipuna Gardens subdivisions,[1][2] resulting in the destruction of more than 40 structures in lower Puna and forcing the evacuation of 1,700 residents. The fissures sent a lava flow that on May 19 buried part of Hawaii Route 137 and began flowing into the ocean.[3]
