UPDATE: 11 a.m.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said no tsunami is expected from this morning’s earthquake near the Kilauea summit. The 5.4 magnitude earthquake occurred at 10:18 a.m. and likely associated with a summit eruption.

Some areas may have experienced strong shaking.

9 a.m.

Hawaii County Civil Defense reports lava has covered 5,914 acres or an area of 9.24 square miles. A total of 467 homes have been destroyed.

Officials are monitoring fissure 16 today as it oozes lava. Lava is also coming out of fissure 18 and lava from fissure 8 continues to flow into Kapoho Bay.

6 a.m.

The National Weather Service said heavy vog is blanketing the interior and southern parts of Hawaii island. It is impacting Hilo and wrapping around to Kona.

Individuals should monitor air quality and limit outdoor activities if they have breathing issues. Air quality measurements can be monitored through the UH Vog Measurement and Prediction Project at http://mkwc.ifa.hawaii.edu/vmap/ .

The Disaster Recovery Center is open daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Keaau High School Gym. Shuttles to the center leave every 20 minutes from the Keaau Armory and every hour from the Pahoa Community Center.

Friday, 5:30 p.m.

Activity continues in the lower East Rift Zone as lava fountains from fissure 8 reached heights between 100 to 130 feet with bursts up to 180 feet. The cinder and spatter cone that is building around the fissure is now about 170 feet at its highest point.

Lava is flowing through a well-established channel from fissure 8 into Kapoho Bay. Fissures 16 and 18 continue to ooze lava.

Pele’s hair and other lightweight volcanic glass fragments from the lava fountain at Fissure 8 continue to fall downwind of the fissure. High winds may carry lighter particles to greater distances.

12:15 p.m.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said no tsunami is expected from this morning’s earthquake near the Kilauea summit. The 5.3 magnitude earthquake occurred at 11:57 a.m.

Some areas may have experienced strong shaking.

11:30 a.m.

Although lava fountain heights from fissure 8 reached up to 200 feet overnight, the eruption, in general, has changed relatively little in the past few days.

Lava continues to flow through the channel from fissure 8, making a fairly broad entry into the ocean at Kapoho, according to the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.

Volcanic gas emissions remain very high from the fissure 8 eruptions.

7:30 a.m.

The Kilauea Volcano eruption continues with little change this morning but those on Hawaii island may notice a blanket of heavier vog today.

The southern and interior parts of Hawaii island will likely get the heaviest vog today, though it is expected to make its way to Kona over the weekend, Hawaiian Volcano Observatory officials said.

A Disaster Recovery Center, located at the Keaau High School Gymnasium, is scheduled to open ay 8 a.m.

Heavier vog is expected to blanket the interior and southern parts of the Big Island, wrapping around to Kona through the weekend.

A community meeting on volcanic ash and vog will be held tonight at 5:30 p.m. at the Ocean View Community Center.

Leilani Estates West of Pomaikai Street is open only to residents with official credentials.

11 a.m.

Fissure 8 lava fountains today were observed shooting to heights of 200 feet from within the rowing cone of cinder and spatter, which is now about 160 feet at its highest point, according to Hawaiian Volcano Observatory officials.

The ocean entry of lava in Kapoho remained fairly broad and fissures 16 and 18 continue to ooze lava.

6:45 a.m.

Fissure 8 continues to produce a large channelized lava flow, which is entering the ocean and producing a large laze plume, according to Hawaii County Civil Defense. Gas emissions from both the ocean entry and the fissure eruption are also very high.

A community meeting on volcanic ash and vog will be held today at 5:30 p.m. at the Ocean View Community Center.

The shelter at the Pahoa Community Center is open and is pet-friendly. However, the Keaau Armory shelter has reached capacity.

4:45 a.m.

Another small explosion occurred at the summit of Kilauea early this morning and was precipitated by a moderate earthquake. However, no tsunami was produced.

The magnitude-5.3 quake struck at 3:19 a.m. at a depth of 0.5 kilometers and was centered 3.8 miles west-southwest of Volcano, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. No serious injuries were immediately reported.

The summit explosion produced an ash plume that rose to 6,000 feet.
