Lava from Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano covered one of the wells at the island's geothermal power plant, prompting fears of a toxic gas leak as authorities urge residents to evacuate Leilani Estates due to fast-moving flows. Residents have been concerned about the lava rupturing wells at the plant, causing deadly hydrogen sulfide and other gases to be emitted, Reuters reported. Fast-moving lava flows were the main issue for residents in Leilani Estates. A 24th fissure opened on Leilani Estates Sunday, more than three weeks after the volcano began erupting. On top of lava, ash clouds and plumes of deadly laze (lava and haze), officials are also warning about vog, or volcanic smog.
