...By 6:30 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 28, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory confirmed that lava exited the Mauna Loa summit but it is flowing in the direction of an unpopulated area of the northeast flank. There is no threat to any communities. The National Weather Service had issued an ashfall advisory with up to one-quarter of an inch of accumulation for the Big Island however, at around 9 a.m. they canceled the warning for all districts of Hawaii Island. The warning was first pushed at around 12:20 a.m. During the time of the ashfall advisory, HVO said volcanic gas and possible fine ash and Pele's Hair could be carried downwind but the lava flow should remain in the northeast rift zone of the volcano. People with respiratory illnesses were asked to remain indoors. Southwest Airlines said they have suspended operations in Hilo. This affects only the 10 interisland departures on the routes between Honolulu and Hilo....

I saw this Sunday night. Sounds like it is quite the eruption even though there is no immediate threat.

That will be considered 'small beans' if the The Yellowstone Caldera ever blows.

Indeed. Many reasons to fear that and let's be honest many of those wanting the wall will be trying to get over it. We would certainly see that global cooling I hear about.

I remember the beginning of James Michener's "Hawaii." Began with volcanic eruptions creating the islands.
Maybe this'll add some acreage too.
