Hey my loves ! π π§‘ππ§‘ππ§‘ππππππππ§‘ππ§‘ππ§‘πππππππππ
I hope you’ve caught up on all previous Puna news blog entries (https://lerzpunanewsblog.blogspot.com/) , including the one right before this, the Mauna Loa update today. (https://lerzpunanewsblog.blogspot.com/2021/10/since-its-first-well-documented.html) and have followed @lerzpunanews and LERZ Puna News Weekly on fAKEBOOK etc.
Puna lava daze of our lives, 17 daze after we started this Puna news blog . And I’ll tell ya. TRUER SHIT HAS NEVER BEEN UNCOVERED! Thank goodness for PELE 2021 XO
Here’s our beautiful LEILANI ESTATES, the friendly neighborhood DRILL ZONE with its current soak of untraceable PM POISONING GASSES, that blind eyes have dismissed for over 30 years, and the residents are fed fallacies about what really is spewing out of their backyard fissures so they are not aware. I’m sorry Leilani, but

Alert Level: WATCH, Color Code: ORANGE
HAWAIIAN VOLCANO OBSERVATORY DAILY UPDATE
U.S. Geological Survey
Friday, October 15, 2021, 8:56 AM HST (Friday, October 15, 2021, 18:56 UTC)
KILAUEA VOLCANO (VNUM #332010)
19°25'16" N 155°17'13" W, Summit Elevation 4091 ft (1247 m)
Current Volcano Alert Level: WATCH
Current Aviation Color Code: ORANGE
Activity Summary: KΔ«lauea volcano is erupting. As of this morning, October 15, 2021, lava continues to erupt from a single vent in the western wall of HalemaΚ»umaΚ»u crater. All lava activity is confined within HalemaΚ»umaΚ»u crater in Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. Seismicity and volcanic gas emission rates remain elevated.
Summit Observations: Sulfur dioxide (SO2) emission rates remain high, with a measured emission rate of approximately 5,400 tonnes per day on October 14, 2021, similar to the previous day. Summit tilt was slightly inflationary yesterday, October 14.
HalemaΚ»umaΚ»u Lava Lake Observations: Lava continues to erupt from a single vent in the western wall of HalemaΚ»umaΚ»u crater. The western end of the lake showed a maximum elevation of approximately 786 meters (2575 ft) above sea level when measured by field crews on October 14, which is a 1 meter (3 ft) increase over the past day and a total increase of about 43 meters (141 ft) since lava emerged on September 29. The total erupted volume since the beginning of the eruption was estimated to be about 15.9 million cubic meters (4.2 billion gallons) on October 8. The western vent had intermittent fountain heights of 4-5 m (13-16 ft) observed by field crews on October 14. The fountain has built a spatter cone with an opening facing east from which lava is flowing into the lake. The central island and several of the smaller eastern islets from the 2020 lava lake are still above the lake surface along with an island of the 2020 western vent rampart in the northwest part of the lake. The lava lake is not level across its surface due to the location of the vent in the western end. Areas closer to the vent are about 1-2 meters (3-7 ft) higher in elevation compared to the north and south part of the lake and 8 meters (26 ft) higher than the east end of the lava lake. Lava surface activity such as crustal foundering is seen on the western end of the lake and north and south of the central island but is no longer observed on the east end of the lake.
East Rift Zone Observations: No unusual activity has been noted in the KΔ«lauea East Rift Zone. Ground deformation motion suggests that the upper East Rift Zone—between the summit and PuΚ»uΚ»ΕΚ»o—has been steadily refilling with magma over the past year. SO2 and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) emissions from PuΚ»uΚ»ΕΚ»Ε were below instrumental detection levels when last measured on January 7, 2021.
Hazard Analysis: This new eruption at KΔ«lauea’s summit is occurring within a closed area of Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. Therefore, high levels of volcanic gas are the primary hazard of concern, as this hazard can have far-reaching effects down-wind. Large amounts of volcanic gas—primarily water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), and sulfur dioxide (SO2)—are continuously released during eruptions of KΔ«lauea Volcano. As SO2 is released from the summit, it reacts in the atmosphere to create the visible haze known as vog (volcanic smog) that has been observed downwind of KΔ«lauea. Vog creates the potential for airborne health hazards to residents and visitors, damages agricultural crops and other plants, and affects livestock. For more information on gas hazards at the summit of KΔ«lauea, please see: https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/fs20173017. Vog information can be found at https://vog.ivhhn.org/.
Additional hazards include Pele's hair and other lightweight volcanic glass fragments from the lava fountains that will fall downwind of the fissure vents and dust the ground within a few hundred meters (yards) of the vent (s). Strong winds may waft lighter particles to greater distances. Residents should minimize exposure to these volcanic particles, which can cause skin and eye irritation.
Other significant hazards also remain around KΔ«lauea caldera from HalemaΚ»umaΚ»u crater wall instability, ground cracking, and rockfalls that can be enhanced by earthquakes within the area closed to the public. This underscores the extremely hazardous nature of KΔ«lauea caldera rim surrounding HalemaΚ»umaΚ»u crater, an area that has been closed to the public since early 2008.

Please see the HawaiΚ»i Volcanoes National Park website for visitor information: https://www.nps.gov/havo/index.htm. Visitors to Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park should note that under southerly (non-trade) wind conditions, there is potential for a dusting of powdery to gritty ash composed of volcanic glass and rock fragments. These ashfalls represent a minor hazard, but visitors should be aware that dustings of ash at areas around the KΔ«lauea summit are possible.
The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) continues to closely monitor KΔ«lauea Volcano.
HVO will continue to issue daily KΔ«lauea Volcano updates until further notice. Additional messages will be issued as needed.
