Hawaii volcano erupts anew, spews huge plume of ash into sky
Hawaii's Mount Kilauea had another large explosive eruption over the weekend,... sending a nine-thousand-meter plume of ash up into the sky.
The blast has led to the first reported injury from the eruption,... and a continuous stream of lava threatens to block a key highway that serves as an escape route for coastal residents.
The National Guard says there may be mandatory evacuations if more roads become blocked.
Geologists have been warning of a large eruption since the first eruption from Mount Kilauea's summit on May 3rd, and warn that more lava could be on the way,... with eruptions possibly spurting as high as 180 meters, similar to the 1955 eruption.
