Yes, Pele is always active, she just decided to release some built up pressure. Not good for residence of pahoa but necessary for the entire island as we have a couple other volcanoes that could easily erupt if pressure builds up too much. No injuries or deaths but around 30 homes destroyed already. Trump just approved disaster relief fund and lots of funds being set up to help displaced families. The community center is being used for shelter and food and financed by the red cross. Locals from all around the island taking items and food to the families also. I am a long way from the volcanic action but we get a bit of vog her. She seems to be calming down for now but still loads of mini earthquakes. the main concern is the rift breaking off which could destroy more homes. At least they are allowing people to retrieve things from their homes, for now.
