Why, hi, YouTubers.
I'm glad you're all here.
Thank you very much for joining me.
Well, I told you they wouldn't know when Mauna Loa
was going to erupt until after it erupted.
And in fact it has.
At about 04:30 a.m., they suspected that Mauna Loa had erupted,
but until they did a flyover at about 06:30 A.m.
There in Hawaii local time, then they
confirmed in fact it has erupted, it
has moved to the Northeast Rift system.
Originally they had hoped it would stay
within the caldera, but they got multiple
vents that have now opened up.
This here is an image from their flyover and you
can probably see the wing there at the top.
Going to Google Earth.
Here's Mauna Loa.
Let me bring it out.
So you can see the big island of Hawaii.
And this is the Northeast Rift System.
And right now they are not evacuating people,
but they do have evacuation centers open.
There is a worry of course, that the
lava flow would end up going towards Hilo.
Here's another image of the eruption.
Yeah, pretty spectacular.
Here is the alert level which is now red.
It says here that the eruption of Mauna Loa
has migrated from the summit to the Northeast Rift
zone where fishers are feeding several lava flows.
HBO staff on an overflight at approximately 06:30 a.m.
HST confirmed fisher at high elevations within
Hawaii's Volcano National Park are feeding the
lava flows up slope of the Mauna Loa.
Weather observation lava flows are not threatening any
downslope communities and all indications are that the
eruption will remain in the Northeast Rift zone.
Volcanic gas are possible.
Fine ash and peeley's hair may be carried
down when there has been complaints about the
ash and the gas affecting some area.
Here is a image of the bog.
This here is Mauna Loa, and this one here is Kilowayla.
6 hours ago, Hawaii EMA said the shift of
the eruption area into the Northeast Rift zone takes
the hazard into a much less steep terrain.
That would provide more time for preparation and early
warning and take the thread away from the steepest
slopes of the volcano where lava moves the fastest.
Now the latest reports saying that the vents have opened
up on Mauna Loa are all in the northeast rid zone
and do not pose an imminent threat to populated areas.
According to the latest from USGS volcanoes HBO,
there have been some reports of vog irritation,
volcanic fog in the saddle area.
Now this one was posted about 4 hours ago.
Ash fall advisory is canceled for the
Big island in surrounding waters.
However, please be mindful of the potential for
areas of low air quality due to vogue.
Yeah, and it's disrupting flights there.
It says passengers with flights to Hilo International Airport
or the Ellison International Airport Koa should check with
their airline prior to heading to the airport due
to the volcanic activity at Mauna Loa.
Here's the latest image from the East Rift Zone.
There by Kilowayla.
All right.
And the tilt for Mauna Loa for the past week. Yup.
Right there, that's where it went off.
And looks like it's going down a little
bit and will come down to a month.
Now this image was posted by USGS.
It's an image of the eruption.
And this is an image of the northeast rift zone.
You can see we got a fault that opened up here.
And another one there probably another one there.
Let me bring it down a little bit.
Yeah, that's as far over that this image
shows for the north east rift zone.
And here's another one.
Now this one here has the image
of the airplane wing right there.
Pretty exciting, isn't it?
They have another image here. Over here.
I don't know if I can make this bigger.
Let me see. Alright. Yeah, I can.
Okay, let's go bigger. Alright.
You can see the smoker ash coming
up over here on the left.
You can see the lava and we'll pull it over.
Let me see here.
There's one fellow there taking readings.
It looks like another image.
This was probably 630 this morning when they did their
flyover and confirmed that it was in fact erupting.
Look at that cloud. Yeah.
All the ash going up.
You think they'd get a better
picture, but yeah, you can see.
Yeah, it's not just oozing out, it's
kind of springing up there gushing out. Yeah.
I wonder how much lava is coming
up per minute or per second.
There's another image that was
taken early this morning.
Yeah, I don't think they needed to fly over
to know that it was in fact erupting.
Yeah, look at that.
143 earthquakes there on the island within the
last 24 hours for magnitude 2.5 or greater.
There has been 53 and most of them have
been there at the summit there at Mauna Loa.
Interestingly, the southeast rift zone
has been having multiple earthquakes.
I hope that doesn't erupt because that's going to give
a lot of people very short notice for evacuation.
But right now it's erupting up over here.
And let's see, the 2.7 was 1.9 miles above sea level.
I did see one earlier that was I thought three.
Yeah, I don't see it here, but when it
has a minus, that means it's above sea level.
So that 2.7 would be close to the northeast rift zone.
Let's see what's this one here?
A 2.5.
That was today.
I want to get some of these
down here by the southeast rift zone.
Let's see what's the depth on that?
1.1 mile above sea level.
And then the farthest one would
be 0.6 miles above sea level.
1.2.
Yeah, that's got me concerned over here.
And then we got another 1.5
miles above sea level here's.
Two monitors that I downloaded from the summit there.
Yeah, look at all those earthquakes.
A lot of them. Yeah.
And most of them, because they're
so small, they're not reporting.
Let's see this one here is one of the larger ones.
1856.
Let me check it out.
That one they're saying is a magnitude 2.7.
And let's go back another 8 hours.
Let me bring it down for you
so you can see it right there.
That's where it's at right there.
Okay, let's go back another 8 hours
waiting for it to go back.
There you go. Yeah.
And this is probably when
it started erupting right there.
Look at that.
Okay.
What time is that?
1950 something.
So we have a 4.0 at 951.
Yeah.
1.9 miles below or above excuse me, sea level A 3.2.
That's the northeast rift zone or excuse
me, the southeast rift zone a 3.3.
Also the southeast east rift zone a
3.30.6 miles above sea level 2.9.
Yes, also the southeast rift zone.
And then it jumps up to I don't know.
It looks like for this monitor, if you can see it, it
looks like we got a lot of data that didn't come in.
All right, so let's go back another
8 hours and see what we got. Yeah.
Okay.
This is the biggest one right there,
but it's showing at just after 855.
I think it was probably larger again
than the southeast rift zone of 4.2.
I didn't download this data because I wanted
to get this report out to you.
0.8 miles above sea level. Yeah.
Let's go back to this.
Yeah, I think that's larger.
Oh, and look at this. Oh, my goodness.
Maybe I should download it.
Can you see that?
Let me pull this down.
Yeah, it was screaming right there. It was screaming.
See how it went blank?
Maybe that's why.
Let me go ahead.
In fact, what I'm going to do is download that data,
so it's going to take me a minute or two.
All right.
This is a monitor right here that I
am currently downloading the data from Mokd.
And this is here the crater.
All right, I downloaded that.
Let's go to the spectrogram.
Holy cow. Yeah. Wow.
This is when it was gushing in.
And we got another point there where it was gushing in.
Let's look at the signature.
Holy cow.
Look at that.
Yeah.
Let's go back up over here.
See, this is when it was gushing in.
And I've talked about it. Yeah.
When it was just screaming and screaming.
All right. Yeah.
All through there. Yeah.
Let's look at the signature.
So you won't show the
signature because it was screaming. Yeah. Okay.
Look at that.
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
And then this is when it was really coming in. Yeah.
The blobs of magma when it was just coming in.
Blobs of lava.
And see how thick it is.
And then it went quiet right here
where it just started gushing in.
See, there's no signature there.
You can see the spectrogram, though. Yeah.
And I wonder where that earthquake is at.
That one they said was a two point or a four point.
Excuse me.
Is that it?
Let's See.
Yeah, look at the tilt on that, too.
Look at the tilt.
Let's make that bigger. See? Up and down.
Wavy harmonic.
Trimmers. Yeah. Look at that. Wow. Pretty Amazing.
I think this is the first time in.
I don't want that.
I hit the wrong button.
Excellent.
This is the first time in 38 years,
almost 40 years, that it has erupted here.
Let's see what it's this is when I just pulled
the files as I was talking to you guys.
Yeah, there's one there and right there at the end.
Seeing some history, you guys.
So no new messages since the last hour.
Since they posted about the northeast rift zone.
Yeah, I got to keep an eye on it.
Because you just don't know if the Southeast
Rift Zone is going to open up.
There's another image from early this morning. Yeah.
I like to know how fast it's flowing. Anyways.
What are your thoughts?
So that's all I have for you guys.
