Kilauea Eruption: Lava Blasts 500 Feet, Toxic Gas & 'Pele’s Hair' Spread Across Hawaii :volcano:
On September 2nd, Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano erupted for the 32nd time since December 2024 — and this one was intense. Lava shot 500 feet into the sky, smoke soared 10,000 feet above the Big Island, and dangerous volcanic gas filled the air. Even more alarming? Pele’s hair — razor-sharp, glass-like lava strands — floated over 10 miles from the eruption site.
In just 13 hours, Kilauea released over 50,000 tons of vog (volcanic smog), triggering health warnings across the island. While the eruption didn’t directly threaten residents, officials have urged caution and set the volcano alert to “watch” level.
From stunning visuals to serious health concerns, this eruption reminds us just how powerful — and unpredictable — nature can be.
