00:00Eruptive episode 56 is happening now at Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano, and scientists say high lava
00:08fountains could follow.
00:10The U.S. Geological Survey says lava began overflowing a vent inside Kilauea's summit
00:16crater on November 2nd.
00:18Small fountains reached about 20 feet before subsiding.
00:22In its latest update, USGS reported that lava overflows were continuing.
00:27Scientists say a high fountaining episode could begin any time through November 8th, though
00:33the timing remains uncertain.
00:36The lava has stayed inside the crater within Hawaii's Volcanoes National Park, but strong
00:42trade winds have been carrying volcanic gases southwest, creating hazards downwind.
00:48Visitors should check park alerts and stay out of closed areas.
