Red molten lava continued to spurt into the sky Friday morning hours after Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano erupted, forcing officials to issue widespread evacuation orders to more than 1,500 residents. The activity continued early Friday with the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory confirming reports of eruptions from volcanic vents on at least two streets. Jeremiah Osuna, who captured the drone footage, described the scene as a “curtain of fire” roaring through the landscape. David Ige activated the National Guard to help with evacuations and provide security for about 770 structures left empty by residents fleeing the area. Puu Oo's 1983 eruption resulted in lava fountains soaring over 1,500 feet (457 meters) high.
