Video Showing Lava From Volcano Erupting Beneath The Streets Of Hawaii
Yesterday reports out of Hawaii confirmed hundreds of earthquakes on the island.
Kilauea volcano was thought to possibly erupt soon, but at the time of all the earthquakes, it was uncertain if this would happen or what would follow.

Kilauea volcano did, in fact, erupt on Thursday evening throughout its easter rifts, miles away from its summit.
The volcano spewed molten lava all over Leilani Estates forcing an evacuation of about 1,700 people near the Big Island's eastern border.
Volcano officials said they could not predict where exactly the eruption would happen, or how long it could potentially last.
Videos started to circle social media as the Kilauea Volcano erupted onto the streets and lava spewed several feet into the air from cracks in the streets.

This video was taken just moments ago by my best friend who lives on the island... he said the fissure is making 'a loud wooshing sound' and is spewing lava at least 20 feet into the air.
