▲ Hawaii Kilauea

It was like a fire curtain said by one resident who recorded the lava with a drone. This is a real situation in Hawaii. In this picture, 30 meters fire column falling towards the surrounding area. Because of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, many people are an inconvenience because of the big magnitude of the earthquake and many eruptions.

The 6.9 magnitude earthquake struck near the Kilauea volcano on the island of Hawaii, the U.S. Geological Survey said on May 4th. First, Kilauea volcano erupted lava in 1950 and 1980, and many tourists visited here to see the nice view of magma. Also, here is an area where most local people stay rather than tourists. The Hawaiian governor, David, ordered a compulsory punishment to residents near the volcano in Kilauea and reported that more than 1,500 people took refuge. The Hawaiian disaster authority has warned elderly people and respiratory in nearby areas, especially to be careful. Also, a flight was ban in the U.S near this area because big gas columns could interrupt the flight way.

Because of these earthquakes and eruptions, many residents and tourists are in inconvenience. The nearby schools and educational facilities like Hawaii Academy of Arts and Science are all closed. In addition, about 2,600 tourists near the Volcano National Park also ordered the compulsory refuge. Tourists moved to hotels and military bases far from the volcano. Also, 14,000 households near the volcano lose the electricity.

Fortunately, no casualties have yet been reported from the lava eruption. Also, there are no Korean casualties. However, until now, at least 30 earthquakes are being reported in Hawaii. I hope the occurrence of these natural disasters will be minimized. I also hope Hawaii to recover its beauty!
