When I went to Hawaii for our family trip, there were so wonderful cities, and volcanoes looked beautiful. So, our family traveled so happily. However, when my friend went to Hawaii, the situations were different as there was an eruption of a volcano. So, his family was scared of that incident. Hawaii's Kilauea volcano erupted, sending lava shooting into the air. There were many people including about two million residents and about millions of tourists. This eruption came after days of earthquakes rattled the area. I believe that this eruption affected many people in the near areas.

As mentioned above, on may 6th, 2018, there was an eruption of Hawaii's Kilauea volcano. The volcano erupted, sending lava shooting into the air, and many people were affected in the near areas. After 5.0 scales of earthquakes, its crater shoot lava, and 6.9 scales of earthquakes smite the area. Since these earthquakes sent lava into the area in which residents lived, many residents and travelers ran away from that

eruption.

The lava fountains shoot 150 feet in the air, and molten lava spread out over the area about 200 yards wide. People who lived or traveled Hawaii could not stay in these areas. Hawaii County Civil Defense Agency closed the areas to visitors for their safety. Hawaii's Kilauea declared a state of emergency and mobilized military just then for people who lived or traveled, and they also evacuated those people who lived nearby the volcano. A nearby school was also closed due to the ongoing seismic activity and several roadways cracked under the strain of the constant temblors.

This eruption of volcano damaged not only the residents but also the tourists. Its eruption's harm was very serious for the area and even the people. I believe that people in Hawaii felt so hard because of this eruption, so the government or friends should support poor people. A long time ago, there were any no volcano

eruptions. So, people were very vigilant to the volcano.
