Aerial video shows Hawaii's Kilauea spewing lava
Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano on Big Island showed no sign of letting up in aerial footage collected by USGS (United States Geological Survey) last Friday, some two months after the eruption shook the island community.
An estimated 2,800 residents who have lost their homes to lava flows or were forced from their dwellings under evacuation orders since Kilauea rumbled back to life on May 3.
Hawaii County Mayor, Harry Kim, said that rivers of molten rock spewed from volcanic fissures at the foot of Kilauea have engulfed roughly 600 homes. The governor's office put the number of residences destroyed at 455.
Either tally marks the greatest number of homes claimed over such a short period by Kilauea - or by any other volcano in Hawaii's modern history - far surpassing the 215 structures consumed by lava in an earlier eruption cycle that began in 1983 and continued nearly nonstop for three decades, experts say.
