Precisely one month ago, a 500-foot long crack in the ground opened up in Hawaii's Leilani Estates neighborhood, spewing lava into the air. At the time, volcanologists weren't sure (https://mashable.com/2018/05/04/hawaiian-kilauea-volcano-erupts-in-neighborhood/) what might happen next, and whether lava flows would continue through the community.
Since then, the state reports that lava has now blanketed over 2,300 acres (https://www.facebook.com/hawaiicountycivildefense/posts/903194966546463) of land, over 2,000 people have been evacuated, and a "vigorous eruption" (https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/volcanoes/kilauea/status.html) of lava continues in the southeastern corner of Hawaii.

On June 2, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said (https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/volcanoes/kilauea/status.html) lava crossed over highways and filled a small lake, which "apparently evaporated all the water." By this morning, the USGS reported the lava flow was half a mile wide (https://twitter.com/USGSVolcanoes/status/1003255795851583488), and headed toward the ocean. Read more...
