Hawaii: For the first time in 38 years, the world's largest volcano erupted, warning to leave homes

Hawaii's Maunaloa volcano has begun to erupt. Ashes and debris from this explosion are falling into the surrounding areas. The volcanic eruption began late on November 27 in the summit caldera of the volcano on the Big Island. For the first time in 38 years, there has been such a strong eruption in the volcano.

Officials warned residents on Hawaii's Big Island to prepare for the worst. Explain that the eruption started after repeated earthquakes recently at the summit of the volcano. Earlier in the year 1984, the volcano exploded.

The US Geological Survey reported on 28 November that the lava was confined to the summit and did not pose a threat to people living nearby. But since the eruption, some two million people on the Big Island have been warned that an eruption could make the volcano very dynamic and could rapidly change the location of lava flows.

Officials have warned residents living on the island to be ready to evacuate their homes as soon as possible if lava flows start moving toward populated areas. Due to the danger posed by the lava, residents have been advised to stay away from the surrounding areas of the volcano.

Harmful gases coming out of the volcano

Since the eruption of the volcano located in Maunaloa, Hawaii, sulfur dioxide gases are coming out of it, which are very harmful to the people. Dr. Libby Char, director of the state health department, said air quality on the Big Island is generally good right now, but officials are monitoring it carefully. Hone said air quality could deteriorate as long as the eruption lasts.

Bobby Camara, a lifelong Big Island resident who lives in Volcano Village, said everyone across the island should keep an eye on the eruption. He is said to have seen three Maunalao eruptions in his lifetime.
