It looks bad but that's the drawback of living on a group of volcanic islands in the middle of the Pacific ocean.

I have a feeling that the island has moved enough that it will soon form a newer volcano and add more to the big island so that it is even bigger once it is done erupting. The big island should be more stable and safer from the volcano as this eastern part erupts and extends farther eastward.

Hawaii lava hits Pacific to create a new danger

First it was catastrophic lava. Then it was sulfur dioxide. Now Big Island residents have yet another danger to worry about.

Laze -- a mashup of "Lava" and "Haze" -- is a nasty product formed when hot lava hits the ocean, sending hydrochloric acid and volcanic glass particles into the air.

And now it's a real threat after lava crossed Highway 137 late Saturday night and entered the Pacific Ocean, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) said.

Laze can cause lung, eye and skin irritation. And it's proven deadly in the past. Ref. CNN.
