Mauna Loa is erupting, prompting an ash fall advisory for Hawaii's Big Island | CNN

An ashfall advisory is in effect Monday for Hawaii’s Big Island and surrounding waters until 6 a.m. HST after Mauna Loa, the world’s largest active volcano, began erupting in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Up to a quarter inch of ashfall could accumulate on portions of the island. “People with respiratory illnesses should remain indoors to avoid inhaling the ash particles and anyone outside should cover their mouth and nose with a mask or cloth,” the National Weather Service in Honolulu warned.

Lava flows are contained within the summit area and are not threatening downslope communities, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said. Winds may carry volcanic gas and fine ash downwind. “Based on past events, the early stages of a Mauna Loa eruption can be very dynamic and the location and advance of lava flows can change rapidly,” the observatory said, adding, “If the eruption remains in Moku’āweoweo, lava flows will most likely be confined within the caldera walls.

Fortunately it’s in a more secluded area than Kilauea. There is a lot of open land. New fissures open when Kilauea erupts and lava destroys roads. Mauna Loa is situated where trade winds might blow ash into Kailua-Kona and Kona winds could take it to Oahu. christineromans 👋
