HAWAIʻI VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK reopened Sunday at 3 p.m., following a sequence of large, violent earthquakes that prompted a two-day closure and evacuation of park visitors and staff last Friday. “Our primary objective is the safety of employees, park partners and visitors,” said Park Superintendent Cindy Orlando. “The limited opening allows us to respond to new volcanic and seismic events should they occur and the closures that remain are necessary to keep people out of dangerous and unassessed areas. Visitors should expect changing conditions and be prepared for unannounced closures,” she said.
Kīlaeua Military Camp and Volcano House accommodations, restaurants, and other concessions remain closed Sunday. Volcano House is expected to return to full operation on Tuesday morning. Final inspections of propane lines and other insurance-directed inspections are scheduled for completion tomorrow. The Volcano House staff is expected to back on property beginning noon on Monday for opening preparations.

| With each large earthquake, ground shaking causes additional collapse within the Puʻu ʻŌʻō crater, sending a plume of reddish-brown ash skyward. The size and vigor of a plume depends on the size of the earthquake and subsequent collapse. This roiling ash plume followed the magnitude-6.9 earthquake on May 4. Much of the rock within t he crater is rust in color, which is a result of heavy alteration by acidic volcanic gases. When the rock is pulverized by a collapse event, the resulting ash plume is pink to reddish-brown ash plume. USGS photo by T. Neal |
Several rock slides were triggered by the 6.9-magnitude earthquake, that struck Friday at 12:32 p.m., and a slew of aftershocks and smaller earthquakes that preceded it. The USGS reported more than 500 earthquakes in and around Kīlauea Volcano since Friday afternoon. Smaller temblors continued today.
The following areas in the park are open:
· The Entrance Station from Highway 11 to Jaggar Museum is open from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m.; Jaggar Museum will close at 8 p.m. (the outdoor overlook will remain open until 10 p.m.)
· Kīlauea Visitor Center is open from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m.
· Sulphur Banks Trail
· Steam Vents parking lot
· Crater Rim Trail is open from Kīlauea Overlook to Jaggar Museum only
· The Entrance Station to the 1969 lava flow near Mauna Ulu
· Mauna Ulu to Pu‘uhuluhulu (Nāpau Trail is closed past Pu‘uhuluhulu)
· Escape Road from Highway 11 to Mauna Ulu
· Mauna Loa Road from Highway 11 to the Mauna Loa Lookout and Kīpukapuaulu
Any area in the park not listed here is closed, including most trails, Nāhuku (Thurston Lava Tube), Kīlauea Iki, Devastation Trail and Pu‘u Pua‘i, and Chain of Craters Road past Mauna Ulu.
Due to the hazardous and unpredictable ash plume coming from Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō vent, there is a Temporary Flight Restriction above the vent. Aircraft (including drones) are not permitted in the TFR, which extends 3,000 feet above ground level and a two-mile radius from the vent. Relief aircraft on official flights approved by the National Park Service are the only aircraft allowed in the area.

HAZE ACROSS KAʻŪ IS A DARK REMINDER that at least 26 homes were destroyed by lava and fire in Leilani Estates in lower Puna. The vog drifting across the south end of the island comes from the volcanic fumes from Leilani, Puʻu ʻŌʻō, and Halemaʻumaʻu Crater. Depending on which way the wind blows, the bad air is reaching Hilo or Kaʻu and onto Kona.

Today, Civil Defense allowed Leilani Estates residents with property between Highway 130 and Maile Street to complete evacuation of pets, medicine, and vital documents until 6 p.m. Residents were required to provide identification and proof of residency.
Lee Hillis, who is staying at her sister's home in Pāhala, hoping that her house will survive, said Leilani reported long lines today with people waiting to go in and come out of the neighborhood, one car at a time.
A primary Police checkpoint is at Highway 130 and 132. A secondary checkpoint is at Highway 130 andLeilani Street . “Residents should retrieve their items expeditiously so others may go in after them. Be aware of the very unstable conditions of air quality and of the roads. You will be required to leave the area if conditions become hazardous. Leilani residents entering must be on the alert for elevated levels of Sulfur Dioxide, wildfire, and volcanic eruption. People with respiratory problems are especially vulnerable. Please, the residents of Leilani need your help by staying out of the area. This is not the time for sightseeing,” states the update.

RECENT EARTHQUAKES HAVE CAUSED LITTLE STRUCTURAL DAMAGE IN KAʻŪ; however, residents reported several effects since Friday's 6.9 and 5.4 quakes.
Beachgoers at Punaluʻu, where tsunamis destroyed homes in the past, feared a tsunami when the ocean visibly receded after the 6.9 quake on Friday. However, the sea rose by only a few inches.
Evidence of an earthen slide could be seen from the famous Honuʻapo lookout over Whittington Beach Park. The quakes also triggered landslides within Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. Roads displayed cracks within the park and on Hwy 11.
The lava lake in Halemaʻumaʻu crater has dropped more than 500 feet since April 30. It dramatically changed the view from Jagaar Museum, leaving no bubbling, birthing, shimmering red lava lake of Madame Pele to photograph. The floor beneath the lava lake fell away leaving a gaping, smoking dark hole.
The number of small earthquakes has increased at Kīlauea summit since the 6.9 quake. During the past 24 hours, as of 7 p.m. today, there were 174.

Rift Zone activity (collapse of the Puʻu ʻŌʻō crater floor and magmatic intrusion into the rift zone) on April 30. But on May 2, the lava lake level began to drop in concert with summit deflation, suggesting that magma was moving from the summit into the East Rift Zone. By Friday, May 4, when this photo was taken, the lava lake level had dropped 85 m (279 ft). The lake continues to drop. Lava that spilled from the lake and onto the floor of Halemaʻumaʻu during April 21-27 formed the dark-colored flows that can be seen on either side of the lava lake. USGS photo by J.Babb |
“Little did we know that Friday would be even more hectic:
How it began: Following a collapse of the Puʻu ʻŌʻō crater floor on Monday, April 30, an intrusion of magma migrated down Kīlauea's East Rift Zone, advancing below ground toward Highway 130 and communities in the lower Puna District on the Island of Hawaiʻi. The possibility that the intrusion would lead to an eruption of lava became more likely as numerous small earthquakes shook the area over the next few days.
On Thursday, May 3, it happened. With little fanfare, steaming ground cracks were soon spewing lava in Leilani Estates.
By Friday morning, three additional fissures had opened in the subdivision, with lava traveling less than a few tens of meters (yards) from the vents.
Then, Kīlauea really started rocking and rolling. It began with a magnitude-5.4 earthquake at 11:32 a.m. HST. An hour later, a magnitude-6.9 earthquake, the strongest quake to strike Hawaiʻi since 1975, rattled residents across the island and beyond, with felt reports from as far away as Kauaʻi. Over the next 24 hours, more than 500 earthquakes - 13 with magnitudes of 4 or greater - shook the island.
 |
| Over 500 earthquakes were located by the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) between Friday was preceded by two foreshocks with magnitudes of 5.4 and 4.4 at and greater than 4.0, including a magnitude-5.3 at should be expected for weeks to months to come. The earthquakes are related to the ongoing intrusion into flank of the volcano. USGS map |
In the meantime, the summit of Kīlauea switched from inflation to deflation, and in concert with that deflation, the summit lava lake level began to drop.
Volcano Activity Updates
This past week, Kīlauea Volcano's summit lava lake level dropped with summit deflation, and was about 160 m (525 ft) below the vent rim as of May 5 at 9:30 p.m. HST. On the East Rift Zone, the 61g lava flow is no longer active. Episode 62 commenced on Kīlauea's lower East Rift Zone on May 3, with at least 10 fissures (as of May 6) opening within the Leilani Estates subdivision in the lower Puna
District. Both eruptions, summit and East Rift Zone, are dynamic, and additional changes will be reported on HVO's website at https://volcanoes.usgs.
