    "Oooh look! - An active volcano!"
    "How active is it?"
    "VERY active... it erupts violently every 30 years or so, like it's beeen doing for millions of years..."
    "Excellent! ... Let's build thousands of houses right on top of it!"

    I was living in a sub division near the town of Pahoa on the big island of Hawaii in 1984. Then one rainy night, i saw a bright light as bright as the sun appear on a ridge about 4 miles away. Then a lava fountain rose and fell and illuminated the rain clouds. The colors were brilliant hues of red, yellow and white. I could hear the lava splatter on the ground and a river flowing towards the town of Kalapana. I had witnessed Kiluea's new east rift open up. It was the most spectacular occurrence that I have ever seen in all my years. The eruption went on for 9 hours.

    The last unpredictable volcanic activity, covered up 703 homes (all built in Lava zone 1) This area was well known for "cheap" land because it was in a danger zone, zone 1. You could buy an acre for 5k. But it's very risky. There were gas seepage coming from the ground prior to the volcanic explosion. For 20 years there was gas seepage!

    It is good the volcano emits mafic (slow moving, sticky) lava rather than felsic (explosive eruptions, contains more gasses) lava. Could you imagine if this was a Mt. Saint Helens? What carnage that would be. Best wishes to all people adversely affected. Be well all.
    Edit: LOL. If I waited until 27:43 I would have known they residents near this fissure were going to have to deal with felsic magma/lava. ☺️😉

    I'm not surprised there's even tourist visiting the area and neglected the danger, they really love to stare at the eyes of death, just like during 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake where the tourist just stare at the incoming tsunamis despite knowing it's a tsunami. I think some people have fascination with dangers that they must need to quench by hook or by crook.

    The eruption of the Kilauea volcano showed me, as a tourist who was there during this eruption, the big island problem. the problem is that a long time ago very rich people occupied the best part of the island, i.e. the north where there are green pastures, beautiful grass and no active volcanoes. the poor are left with the worst, covered with lava from previous eruptions, lands on the slopes of active volcanoes. I know people who lost their homes in this eruption, they all moved from the big island.

      VEI is not a benchmark for whether it is very brutal and cruel or not, because one of the volcanoes in Indonesia has erupted in 2 VEI but can kill more than 50 people. Meanwhile, Hunga Tonga with 6 VEI can only kill 3 people. So VEI is not a measure of whether a volcano is dangerous or not. Krakatoa in Indonesia 6 VEI 36.000 people died, so different.
