Kilauea

The eruption of Kilauea in Hawaii's Big Island had destroyed dozens of homes and forced thousands of people to flee the island. The lava from the volcano contains toxic gases that are emitted into the atmosphere. The Hawaii volcano had pumped ash 11,000 ft into the air. Around 82 buildings have been destroyed and 50 structures have been damaged (update). On May 3rd, the eruption began and had wrecked 15,000 acres of land. There has been danger with the toxic fumes in the air that have now reached the Pacific. The gas is called sulphur dioxide which contains oxygen and oxidized sulphur. It could be difficult to breathe and it's a struggle especially with those that have asthma. The closure of the park itself costs around $166 million and the lost revenue has risen to $222 million when about 2K jobs have been affected. According to De Moor, a volcanologist, the eruptions of the volcano will not cause any earthquakes or trigger tsunami's. Despite the volcano emitting lots of carbon dioxide, it won't worsen global warming to a severe degree. The truth is that the eruptions are more likely to cool the earth than to warm it up. Now there has been evacuations of any islanders that are living anywhere nearby the volcano and helicopters have gotten involved as well.
