Main Shield volcano of Moana Loa is erupting at summit over 13,000 feet. it is of no danger to homes at this time too high up above cloud level. It hasn't erupted since 1983. Kilauea lower down has been very active in last few decades. It was a fissure zone of Kilauea 2018 that destroyed over 200 homes & other buildings. Filled in a bay destroyed homes there too. Covered highways. Tour boats out to watch lava flowing into the sea billowing clouds of steam.

Janice & I went over during a big eruption think 2006. Down buy the shoreline at night watching lava flow from high up crater flowing down mountain spilling over a cliff into the sea. It's a humbling experience.
