BREAKING: Kilauea volcano erupts on Hawaii's Big Island
The USGS said the eruption was noticed just before 4:45 a.m. local time on Wednesday when the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory"detected glow in Kīlauea summit webcam images." Those images showed that the eruption started within the volcano's Halema'uma'u crater.
"Webcam imagery shows fissures at the base of Halema'uma'u crater generating lava flows on the surface of the crater floor," the agency said."The activity is confined to Halema'uma'u and the hazards will be reassessed as the eruption progresses." Hawaii's Emergency Management Agency says there is currently"No indication that populated areas are threatened."
