Volcano- Soleil

      As eruptions began to become rumours around the island, the rumours have been official. Hawaii is ready for protection, as it takes on another natural disaster, and an especially dangerous one. “Fresh volcanic eruptions on the southern end of the island of Hawaii after a series of tremors left residents displaced and frightened as the authorities evacuated the state’s largest park on Friday and worked to keep people out of two subdivisions that had been evacuated. Following days of small earthquakes, a more powerful one with a magnitude of 6.9 hit the south flank of the volcano at 12:33 p.m. Hawaii time. There was no tsunami expected, according to a statement from the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, but “many areas may have experienced strong shaking.” That earthquake, which set off rock slides on park trails, forced park officials to close down and evacuate Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, which encompasses 333,000 acres — 13 percent of the Big Island’s total area. Closing the park is a rare occurrence, Jessica Ferracane, a spokeswoman for the park, said on Friday afternoon. About 2,600 visitors were being evacuated from the park, Ms. Ferracane said. “It’s a double cruise ship day,” she said, adding that there were people camping in the backcountry. More than two million people visited the park in 2017, the year after its centennial. The park will remain closed until it is deemed safe to reopen, officials said in a Facebook post on Saturday.

  This is how the mechanisms of what a Volcano really can cause. When a volcano erupts, gases often shoot out, including sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, which can be poisonous, and carbon dioxide, which can cause asphyxiation. Chris Elliott Rodrigues, 40, who was sheltering at Pahoa Community Center after fleeing from his neighborhood, Hawaiian Acres, said: “I’ve been watching what’s going on, the sulfur smell at my place was so strong.” “I hope the lava activity keeps up,” said Mr. Rodrigues, who worked at Lava Ocean Adventures. “I want to go back to work.” Several schools were closed on Friday, and temporary flight restrictions were put in place for most of the lower Puna District, where the evacuated communities were located, according to a spokesman from the state’s Emergency Management Agency.”

   This relates to US history as we study the geological differences between manmade attacks, such as bombings, compared to other natural disasters as a Hurricane or Volcano eruption like this. This especially is another scary incident, in which I hope that everyone ends up unharmed.
