Hawaiian Residents Warned Of Potential Volcanic Eruption

Geologists are monitoring earthquakes near Mauna Loa, indicating a potential eruption. The volcano, covering half the island, could have widespread impacts. Some areas have varying response times, with lava reaching the ocean in hours. The last eruption in 1984 saw a smaller population, but with current numbers doubled, risks are higher. Residents should prepare to evacuate.
