SHE'S A POWERFUL FORCE -- NATURAL DISASTERS
Hawaii

A striking image shows the entire north portion of the crater in Mount Kilauea as residents are warned to 'go now' before more homes are destroyed.

Emergency authorities battling lava flows and gas erupting from Hawaii's Kilauea volcano warned some residents to evacuate after a new fissure opened.

So far, Kilauea has destroyed 26 homes and forced 1,700 people to leave their residences since it erupted on Thursday, spewing lava and toxic gas from volcanic vents in a small area of Hawaii's Big Island.

A new fissure opened Sunday night in the Leilani Estates area some 12 miles from the volcano, prompting a cellphone alert for residents to leave homes to avoid sulfur dioxide gas, which can be life threatening at high levels. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-...lcano.html

Man, I hope this one doesn't stay active for years and that nobody ends up dying from it.
