Hawaii’s Big Island is dealing with the aftermath of the eruption of the Kilauea volcano and a 6.9 magnitude earthquake on May 4. Leilani Estates, one of the properties hit hardest, lost 26 homes to the encroaching lava, while “hazardous fumes” continue to pollute the air. Now we’re beginning to see video of the lava flows as they happened — like this one, taken by a time lapse camera on the Leilani Estates properties, according to a storm-watching social media account.
In the video, you can see the steaming lava emerging from the underbrush, fully covering the road, and ultimately consuming a parked car that was, unfortunately, not moved. Another cut in the video shows a telephone pole going down as the lava continues to smolder, air filled with smoke.
