Before Pu'U O'o was even a Pu'U from 1979 through 1982 we had a series of 6.9 and 7.1 type quakes - some lasting 2 to 3 minutes in duration.
Along the east rift was a HUGE crack 800ft deep and 500ft across .Now all covered over by many successive flows but many under ground cracks and tube systems still intact.Thus the current Leilani fissure .
