Shortly after 6 this morning I received a text from the Hawaiʻi County Civil Defense; they were issuing a volcano warning due to the eruption of Kīlauea. The eruption was not in the caldera like it has been for the most recent eruptions; it was in an inaccessible area. So even if Amelia had not left 2 days ago she still would not have seen it.
The eruption appears to have started around 12:30 this morning. It was apparently spotted by a security guard at the Volcano House; she saw the glow & contacted the Hawaiʻi Volcano Observatory. This area last saw an eruption in 1974.
