Kīlauea Erupting ... Stopped ... Erupting Again!

Initially the 9:22 am Hawaiian Volcano Observatory Activity Notice today said Kīlauea was not erupting. Then the 11:33 am activity notice said Kīlauea had erupted last night just west of Nāpau crater on the middle East Rift Zone in a remote area likely between 9 and 10 pm, then stopped. Apparently 2 fissures opened up & lava extended about 100 yards covering about 4 acres.

The little yellow line is where it erupted last night. Purple is past eruptions.

Then at 7:53 pm another activity notice said Kīlauea started erupting again about 6 pm! During the 10 pm news the eruption was apparently still ongoing. I'll check in tomorrow morning to see what the activity notice says.
