Current Event- Volcano Eruption

Natural Disasters scar out earth and us forever. Although natural disasters are hazardous sometimes they are extremely bizarre and a once in a life time occasion. One of these once in a life time occasions happened recently in the Hawaiian Big Islands. Hawaii is home to some of the most active volcanoes including Kilauea volcano. The Kilauea is a highly active volcano and has been erupting consistently for the past 30 or more years. The recent eruption was to large that for the first time in the history of Kilauea's eruptions the lava flow reach the ocean, a SEVEN MILE JOURNEY! Amazingly enough the eruption happened on October 29 and only on November 25th did the lava make its first drip into the ocean.

This Natural disaster didn't cause much damage to any humans or they're belonging. It was simply just a beautiful spectacle luring tourist in like flies and sugar. The Hawaiian officials although very proud of their tourists they did want to make sure they kept a distance. For if a large ball of lava hit the water sprays could come flying. But like anyone you want to get as close to the action as possible.

Here is a video of the spectacle:
