Hawaiian Residents Warned Of Potential Volcanic Eruption

Scientists say the eruption of the Mauna Loa on Hawaii's big island isn't imminent, but they are on alert because of a recent spike in earthquakes.

Hawaii officials are warning residents of the Big Island that the world’s largest active volcano, Mauna Loa, is sending signals that it may erupt.

Scientists say an eruption isn’t imminent, but they are on alert because of a recent spike in earthquakes at the volcano’s summit. Experts say it would take just a few hours for lava to reach homes closest to vents on the volcano, which last erupted in 1984.
