The explosive eruption of Kilaway volcano in Hawaii urged residents to escape as soon as possible.

　　BEIJING, May 18 (Xinhua)-According to a comprehensive report, Kilauea)17 volcano in Hawaii erupted explosively on the 17th, and the volcanic ash cloud reached more than 9,100 meters and went straight into the sky. The authorities said that residents of the Big Island had been warned to find a safe place to escape because the volcanic ash cloud affected a large area.

　　The Hawaii County Civil Defence Bureau issued a telephone warning: "The Hawaii Volcano Observatory informed that an explosive eruption occurred at the top of Kilauea volcano, and the volcanic ash cloud would cover the surrounding area. If you are in an area affected by volcanic ash clouds, please look for shelter. "

　　Kilaway volcano is one of the most active volcanoes in the world, and it has been erupting from time to time in the past 35 years. However, this eruption, which started on the 3rd of this month, is quite different and more violent than before. The US Geological Survey issued a red warning on the 15th to remind the public that volcanoes may erupt on a large scale, and volcanic ash may be ejected in large quantities.

　　Kilauea Volcano, located on the Big Island of Hawaii, is a powerful steam explosion eruption, spewing out a lot of volcanic ash. The recent eruption has destroyed 37 houses and other buildings in a small place in the southeast of Oshima, forcing about 2,000 residents to leave their homes.

　　The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) also said that Kilauea volcano has ejected rocks the size of a microwave oven, which may be the beginning of an explosive eruption.

　　The last eruption of this kind was nearly a century ago. Kilauea volcano is one of the most active volcanoes in the world. It started erupting nearly two weeks ago, posing an imminent threat to Hawaii.

　　The eruption of Kilauea volcano prompted the authorities to issue an aviation red alert, because volcanic ash clouds may spray to the aircraft route and damage the engine of the jet.

　　USGS warned that the steam explosive eruption might eject 10-12 tons of rocks into the air 800 meters, and cobblestone-sized rocks could be sprayed within 19 kilometers of Fiona Fang.

　　This kind of eruption may cover the big island with a layer of volcanic ash much thicker than dust. Powder and volcanic smoke may spread to the Hawaiian islands, and if they float to the stratosphere, they will further affect further areas.
