LavaThe most obvious threat of volcanic activity is magma bursting through the earth's surface and lava flowing toward residential neighborhoods. Lava is seen coming from a fissure in the Leilani Estates subdivision on Hawaii's Big Island on May 4, 2018. In Hawaii, earthquakes and volcanic activity tend to occur together, according to the USGS . Fortunately, Stovall says, Hawaii residents probably aren't at risk of being hit by a wall of water. And because Hawaii has seen what will likely be its largest earthquake, and because there was no tsunami threat, "at this point it seems unlikely."
