Looking at deformation and the webcam just now for Halemaumau is that lake collapsing too? https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/volcanoes/kil...bcams.html

Looks like the lava lake is draining down. Fair guess, if a vent opens up in the lower rift zone, the whole thing is gonna drop down and come out. Again, much like the Iki to Pahoa eruption of 1959-1960.

This one (at 6:12am) looks like an explosion of ash, is that a normal thing for this camera?

Did anyone see the red sunrise? Spectacular!

I wonder what the plan is to make up for the electrical generation provided by the geothermal plant if/when it is shuttered.

Seems that beyond the immediate danger to residents of the possible eruptions, losing that electricity will affect a great number of people.

Cheers,

Tiltmeters at the summit began recording an increased deflationary tilt this afternoon. The summit lava lake level has lowered about 20 m (65 ft) since the deflationary tilt began in the early morning on May 1.
