More than three weeks after the Kilauea volcano first exploded, the situation is going from bad to worse as the big Island is being beseiged with new explosions which are destroying more neighborhoods.

Hundreds of residents have evacuated from lower Puna as advancing flows threaten homes and a key access point which is the only access road in the area.

In Leilani Estates, residents in a mandatory evacuation zone have been told by authorities that they must get out or they will face arrest and/or fines. The evacuation order covers the area from Pomaikai Street to Malama Street, where huge fountains of lava, ongoing flows and toxic emissions are making conditions unsafe. A new lava fissure opened on Kilauea, a massive volcano in the southeast of the state’s Big Island. Lava from the fissure has come within several hundred yards of homes, threatening two subdivisions in the area. The fissure is also releasing toxic amounts of sulfur dioxide, according to Hawaii News Now.

Please allow me to remind the readers that the majority of the people of Pompeii died from toxic emissions.
