Good news, the alert level for Kilauea was lowered yesterday to normal.
The Hawaii Volcano Observatory lowered the alert level at Kilauea from “advisory” to “normal” on Tuesday, signifying what the agency says is a return to a non-eruptive state.
“Now we’re in this new phase of magma recharge on the volcano,” explained Matthew Patrick, a geologist with the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. “Magma is basically creeping into the summit magma chamber. It’s also creeping into the east rift zone magma storage system.”
Simply put, the changes as far as alert levels are concerned mean there’s little to worry about at Kilauea for the time being.
