Love that they ask people to be quiet, too many forget we are all there to experience nature, not someone yelling at their kid/dog.

I was there for one of the eruptions. Unbelievable and exciting and to see Hawaii (this island) literally growing.

The Volcano Nat’l Park spokeswoman has such a pearl of wisdom for anyone to heed, there or anywhere you go to experience nature: Be quiet and listen. Seriously. That is such great advice. Let your ears and eyes experience and take it all in for your greater enjoyment and learning opportunities.☮️💚

I really like the way she compared to the sound of the eruption to the waves breaking at the Eddie ❤

I have lived on the Big Island of Hawaii for 15 years. My husband was a tour guide for Kapohokine Adventure Tours for 5 years and regularly visited Madame Pèlé and never stopped being awed by all of it. I hope Kilauea is just going off briefly because I have a really difficult time with the VOG. I can't even see Hualalai right now. Aloha. 🤙

Dang! I was literally just visiting the big island less than a week ago and saw this volcano. That would have been really cool to see it erupt! It was still incredible to see the volcano in person.

I was fortunate enough to live there for six years and there's just nothing that compares to seeing it occur. 🌺

I drove to the beach this morning from south toward the volcano. The gloom of doom was spewing up and spreading. The wind pushes it south where I live. Glad it stopped. Air quality sux when it’s going off.

I just finished LA PALMA on Netflix, and logged on to see this volcanic eruption on my screen. wow.

You know, in the past, we were smart enough to stay or run away from a active volcano because life threatening danger. Nowadays people get up close and personal.

One of these days, these people are gonna get a rude awakening.

Not much danger from Kilaueau. Traditionally people flock towards it when erupting, not away. The flow goes to the ocean if it breaks through the rim.

Isn’t st Helen’s rumbling around too..??

Looks like someone threw a gas can down in there to me.

Sure, I was there at the end of August and nothing. Now she decides to erupt.
