00:00Kilauea is rumbling again, and experts say the next eruption could begin any moment now.
00:05One of the world's most active volcanoes is about to put on another fiery show.
00:10The U.S. Geological Survey says signs of an imminent eruption are flashing red at Hawaii's Kilauea volcano.
00:17Lava fountains could start blasting between Wednesday and Saturday.
00:20And when Kilauea erupts, it erupts.
00:23Some past eruptions have launched lava over 1,000 feet into the sky.
00:27On Monday, instruments recorded deflation, one of the earliest eruption signs.
00:32Tremors haven't stopped, and a glowing red light at the vent means magma is sitting close to the surface.
00:38Gas levels are rising, and dangerous strands of volcanic glass, called Pele's hair, are already spreading across the area.
00:46This could be Kilauea's 31st eruption since December.
00:49The last one lasted 12 hours, with lava covering 80% of the crater floor.
00:53Authorities have raised the alert to Orange Watch, and Kilauea's rim has been closed to the public since 2007 for good reason.
01:01So now the world waits.
01:02For the volcano to wake once again.
