New drone footage gives a glimpse of the damage that parts of Hawaii's Big Island sustained in the wake of volcanic explosions in recent days. Smoke can be seen billowing off the lavas it creeps down roads and through wooded areas toward homes. Fires are visible with terrifying streams of brightness breaking through the surrounding areas of black. After a day of relative calm, Kilauea roared back in full force on Sunday, spewing lava 300 feet in the air, encroaching on a half mile of new ground and bringing the total number of destroyed structures to 35. There have been 1 ,800 residents evacuated from their homes in neighborhoods where cracks have been opening and spilling lava. In evacuated areas with relatively low sulfur dioxide levels,residents were allowed to return home for a few hours to collect belongings on Sundayand Monday. Officials said those residents-- a little more than half of the evacuees were allowed to return briefly, and said they would continue to allow residentsin if it could be done safely."
Things got pretty active" official said at a Saturday press conference. "The eight vents were pretty active, to the point where lava was spewing and the flow started spreading so we got additional damage out there. l'm not sure what the count is, but we thought it was just continue to go. Fortunately, seismicityhas kinda laid down and the vents have gone quiet now." But officials had cautioned that while the lava flow was quiet, it wouldn't be for long. "More vents could open up, the existing ones could get active again, which probably will happen after seeing whathappened this morning," "There's a lot of lava or magma under the ground so eventually it's going to come up."The island was also rocked by a 6.9-magnitude earthquake on Friday, which caused landslides near the coast, but minimal structural damage. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) said Sunday the island had experienced more than 500 earthquakes-- 13 with a magnitude greater than 4.0 -- in the 24hours following the 6.9-magnitude quake.The concern for residents continues to bethe lava and gas emitted from vents,though. "This is lava, that is definitely destroying people's homes -- we don't have an exact count -- but it is a devastating situation andit's going to be everyday that it goes on,"Hawaii County head said Saturday. "there's no way we could've predicted this."

根据无人机新传回来的镜头，最近几日受到火山爆发的影响，夏威夷大岛的部分地区遭受了巨大的破坏。滚滚的浓烟随处可见，滚烫的熔岩顺势而下，漫过街区，穿过林区，直抵居民区。火势随着肉眼可见的速度蔓延开来，伴随着刺眼的滚滚浓烟从燃烧的一片漆黑的楼区中冒出。稍微消停几天后，基拉韦厄火山在周日又开始大肆破坏，喷泻出300英寸长的直达天际的熔岩，吞噬了半英里的新街道，破坏的建筑总数高达35座之多。1800多居民不得不从自己家中或者附近有岩浆喷涌而出撤离到避难区里。在撤离区内，二氧化硫含量相对较低，原住民被允许在周六周日的几个小时内返回家里收集自己的物品。当地官方宣称，有超过一半以上的居民被允许短暂地返回家里，同时如果安全能够被保证的话，他们会继续让居民回家去取自己的物品。
“事情变得非常棘手”，官方在周六的新闻发布会上宣城。“这八次的喷发都非常的危险，不停的有岩浆冒出，到处肆掠，以至于我们得防止额外的损失产生。我无法确定一共会有多少次喷发，但是我们认为它应该还会继续。幸运的是，目前地震活动稍事减弱并且喷发迹象比较平稳。”官员也指出要警惕虽然岩浆流动趋于平稳，但这并不会持续太久。“未来可能会有更多的岩浆喷发，已经存在的部分活动也会更加频繁，正如今天早上发生的一样。”“地下仍旧有大量的熔岩和岩浆流动，最终都会喷发而出。”周五，大岛也遭遇了6.9级的地震，导致了山体滑坡直至海岸线，万幸的是，没有太大伤亡。美国地质勘探局表示直至周六，大岛一共遭受了超过500次地震袭击，13次超过4级，在接下来的24小时，遭受了6.9级大地震。当地居民关心的仍旧是不断肆掠的熔岩和其产生的有害气体。“这便是熔岩，无情地破坏着人们的房屋-我们并没有具体的数据-但是这样破坏性的情况必定会每天持续下去，”夏威夷市长在周六说到。“对于这样的天灾人祸，我们也无计可施。”
