Pahoa, Hawaii (CNN) Like tributaries, the cracks ripped through streets near Steve Gebbie's home. Later, steam rose from the widening fissures before orange columns of molten rock erupted geyser-like into the tropical air. "It was bionic, really orange, splattering about," Gebbie, a 12-year resident of Leilani Estates, in Pahoa on the Big Island, said Saturday. He said he later told police officers he needed to find his cat. "The lava keeps building," he told CNN.
