Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano is violently releasing red lava, this time from its Summit, in a new explosive eruption, prompting officials to order more mandatory evacuations.
(Reuters) – An explosive eruption rocked Hawaii’s Kilaueau volcano on Thursday sending an ash plume thousands of feet into the air, according to tweets from the U.S. Geological Survey.

The powerful, steam-driven blast was expected to spew large amounts of volcanic ash and smoke from Kilauea’s crater on Hawaii’s Big Island. The eruption has destroyed 37 homes and other structures in a small southeast area of the island and forced around 2,000 people to evacuate their homes.
