Kīlauea begins episode 15 of eruption
The episode was preceded by eight small splatter fountains in the north vent, happening between 9:27 a.m. and 11:45 a.m., each lasting up to 10 minutes each. Once the episode fully picked up, Pele gave Hawaiʻi fountains up to 50 feet high.Currently, the winds at the summit are predicted to be weak, which the USGS says may allow the plume of gas to spread around Kīlauea's summit. As always, residents and visitors are cautioned about exposure to vog, Pele's hair and other small fragments of glass.
