According to USGS, if you carefully view the Mauna Loa volcano images around the early morning or late evening, you may see a few thermal areas emitting steam.
USGS said Mauna Loa’s eruption began at about 11:30 p.m. local time inside Moku‘āweoweo.migrated from the summit to the Northeast Rift Zone where fissures are feeding several lava flows.The USGS said lava flows are currently not threatening any downslope communities and all indications are that the eruption will remain in the Northeast Rift Zone.
However, winds in the area may carry volcanic gas, fine ash and Pele's Hair may be carried downwind. Pele’s Hair is thin glass fibers that are formed during a volcanic eruption and are named after the Hawaiian volcano deity, Pele. The agency said that residents at risk from Mauna Loa lava flows should review preparedness and refer to Hawai‘i County Civil Defense information for further guidance.
Because of the threat of ash blowing downslope, the National Weather Service has issued an Ashfall Advisory on Hawaii's Big Island until 10 a.m. local time. This image is from a temporary thermal camera located on the north rim of Mauna Loa's summit caldera. Officials said a quarter-inch of ash accumulation is possible, and people with respiratory problems should stay indoors or wear cloth masks to limit exposure to potentially dangerous particles.However, most eruptions before 1950 had an average frequency of 3.5 years. Since 1950, there have only been two eruptions – a summit eruption in 1975 and a rift eruption in 1984.This story was reported from Los Angeles. FOX Weather contributed.
