Mauna Loa, the world’s largest volcano, is erupting in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, but lava flow is not an issue to communities right now.

The world’s largest active volcano, Mauna Loa on Hawaii's Big Island, erupted Sunday for the first time in nearly 40 years, shooting 200-foot-high sprays of lava overhead and sending molten rock down its northeast side.

Surrounding communities are far enough away from flowing lava and are not in danger for now, according the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency. Two shelters were opened as a precaution. Officials said residents should be ready to evacuate if lava flows start heading their way. Evacuations have not been ordered, and schools remain open.

The eruption began at 11:30 p.m. local time in Moku‘aweoweo, the summit caldera of Mauna Loa in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, according to an alert by the U.S. Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.

  1. FACT: humans have been on these islands for only 1/60,000th the time these special islands have existed… and those first humans are no longer here.. they were enslaved tortured and KILLED OFF by the 2nd invaders who came 300 yrs later… FACT: the descendants you see today are for this 2nd group….. iow no one here has entitlement, no one here now is directly related to the indigenous settlers from Nukuhiva Marquesas, period!

    1. Yeah the new invader and current occupiers are the Japanese settlers that have overtaken the properties and economy of Hawaii and Mauna Loa

    2. Bro they’re all the same people. Instead, redirect your energy to what really matters: the fact that the marquesas, as well as Hawai’i and Tahiti are under their colonizers, namely the French and US government.

  2. Let’s not forget that the biggest payouts in the markets don’t come from great performances but rather it’s great promotions. Stay invested, diversification for streams of incomes is very important And with the right skills and proper understanding of how the market works.

    1. @Maddison Harriet Trust me she’s awesome! I just cashed out $52,590 this morning with an investment of $5,500. I think I’ll be hitting millions soon.

    2. It’s best you contact her directly but to be honest I invested as low as $1000 because I was skeptical initially. Receiving my profit gave me more confidence to reinvest…. She only charges 10% commission from the overall profit generated

    3. I must commend her good work,, she’s good and guaranteed, work with her and see forex trading from another dimension 😊.contact her today and have financial freedom and Peace of mind.

    4. @Shanghai Conor These is Solution I have been looking for.. thanks guys for referring. I will message her right away ☺️, hope she replies soon
