PUNA (KHON2) - An emergency proclamation is now in effect at both the county and state levels as Hawaii County Civil Defense responds to a volcanic eruption in the lower Puna area.

Gov. David Ige says the Hawaii National Guard has been deployed to help with the county's emergency response.

"We definitely have sufficient numbers in the National Guard. We have some members who actually live on the Big Island and we did activate them. They're in the emergency operation center as we speak," Ige said.

Lava reached the surface of Leilani Estates at around 4 p.m. with heavy smoke and spewing ash filling the neighborhood. Maija Stenback shared video of lava exploding out of Mohala Street.

Nanawale Estates resident Jeremiah Osuna flew his drone near what he described as a "curtain of fire."

"It sounded like if you were to put a bunch of rocks into a dryer and turn it on as high as you could. You could just smell sulfur and burning trees and underbrush and stuff," he said. "I couldn't believe it. I was kind of shaken a little bit and realizing how real everything is, and how dangerous living on the East Rift can be."

All residents in Leilani Estates and Lanipuna Gardens Subdivisions were required to evacuate. County officials say 1,700 residents live in the area.

Hawaii Fire Department reports extremely high levels of sulfur dioxide gas in the evacuation area. Elderly, young, and people with respiratory issues need to comply with the mandatory evacuation order, officials say.

"We had to evacuate. My mother was out of portable oxygen, so that's a first concern. She's 88 years old," said resident Stephen Clapper. "I told my mother this morning to pack a bag just in case, a go bag, and I ran in, grabbed the dogs, put them in a crate, put them in the car, went in my room, just grabbed an armload of clothes, and here we are."

Some residents have decided to stay put, despite the eruption.

The American Red Cross opened a shelter for affected residents at Pahoa Community Center, 15-3022 Kauhale Street, and Keaau Community Center, 16-186 Pili Mua Street.

Residents should bring a supply kit that includes medicine, food, and items for comfort if possible.

Pohoiki Road is closed from the intersection at Highway 132 up to Lanipuna Subdivision to allow evacuation efforts to proceed.

"We've been planning for the last three days in case this situation happened, so we were very well prepared," said acting Hawaii County Mayor Wil Okabe. "There is lava coming out from a road, therefore we have been making assessments throughout the day and will continue through the night. Civil Defense is active in a 24-hour watch, and all of the police officers and all of the agencies, to public works to parks, are there to ensure the public is safe."

Okabe says he doesn't know of any damage to homes and for those who evacuated, there's no timeline for when they can return. Officials plan to regroup and assess conditions at 6 a.m. Friday.

Call Civil Defense at (808) 935-0031 for emergency needs you may have.

Kua O Ka La New Century Public Charter School and Ka Umeke Kaeo will be closed Friday. Students and families have been notified.

The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) says Thursday's eruption ended by about 6:30 p.m. Lava spatter and gas bursts erupted from the fissure for about two hours, and lava spread a short distance from the fissure, less than about 10 meters, or 33 feet.

At this time, the fissure is not erupting lava and no other fissures have erupted, officials said.

HVO geologists are working near the fissure overnight to track additional activity that may occur, and other scientists are closely tracking the volcano's overall activity.

Officials say all areas bordering the East Rift Zone, from Puu Oo crater down to Kapoho, are at high risk for eruption activities. Hawaiian Volcano Observatory has identified magma movement in the lower East Rift Zone.

Volcanic activities can take place with little or no warning. Hazards include lava inundation, fire, smoke, methane gas explosion, earthquakes, and poor air quality.

Residents of high-risk areas are urged to prepare an emergency plan, and report any unusual events to Civil Defense at (808) 935-0031. If you need special assistance, call (808) 935-0031.

Hawaii County Civil Defense is working in close coordination with Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. The entire county emergency response team has been activated.

Hawaii Electric Light Co. actions and advice
Hawaii Electric Light deployed employees to the Leilani Estates area to disconnect power in the areas impacted by the active lava flow.

The company continues to work with Hawaii County Civil Defense and other agencies to monitor and evaluate the flow.

Utility personnel are on scene. Although the areas near Mohala Street are without power due to the lava flow, crews are doing work to reroute power to maintain electric service for the rest of Leilani Estates that is not impacted by the lava.

The company expects to have sufficient generation, despite the emergency shutdown of independent power producer Puna Geothermal Venture. No blackouts are expected.

“We will continue to work closely with Civil Defense to monitor and assess the situation,” said Rhea Lee-Moku, Hawaii Electric Light spokeswoman. “We strongly encourage the community to be safe and heed the advice of Civil Defense and first responders.”

For customers who are evacuating, the company recommends:

• Shut off electricity at the main breaker or switch;
• Unplug or turn off electric equipment and appliances;
• Call (808) 969-6999 to request a service disconnect or transfer;
• If you see downed power lines, stay away and call the trouble line at (808) 969-6999.

Magnitude-5.0 quake rattles Hawaii island, sends ash plume skyward
A preliminary magnitude-5.0 earthquake jolted parts of Hawaii island Thursday morning.

It was recorded at 10:30 a.m. HST, roughly 4.3 miles southeast of Volcano, and initially reported as a magnitude-4.4 quake.

A map showing the location of the earthquake is posted on HVO's website.

The U.S. Geological Survey's "Did you feel it?" website received more than 500 felt reports from around the island within an hour after the quake.

HVO says ground shaking from the quake caused rockfalls and possibly additional collapse into the Puu Oo crater on Kilauea Volcano's East Rift Zone.

A short-lived plume of ash lofted skyward and slowly dissipated as it drifted southwest. Anyone downwind may have experienced a dusting of ash.

At this time, scientists say the earthquake caused no other changes at the volcano, and HVO will continue to closely watch monitoring data for any changes.

No tsunami was generated by the earthquake.

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park officials temporarily closed Naulu Trail, parts of Napau Trail and adjacent wilderness in Kilauea Volcano’s East Rift Zone for public safety Thursday.

The lava lake within Halemaumau Crater at the volcano’s summit dropped about 100 feet or more below the vent rim. Lava is no longer visible within Halemaumau, officials said.

“Today’s activity further supports the continued instability in the East Rift Zone,” said park superintendent Cindy Orlando. “Safety of visitors and staff is our highest priority.”

Residents were clearly on edge.

"Each event that's happening right now these days is something new," said Leilani Estates resident Petra Wiesenbauer. "It's kind of hard to do any kind of other work except look at Facebook for the latest updates on what's going on."

Cracks have appeared on roads in and around the neighborhood over the past several days.

HVO confirmed the cracks were caused by an underlying "intrusion of magma." One on Pohiki Road was so big, crews had to close down a section of it to place a metal plate to make it safe for vehicles.

"The biggest one we saw was on Pohiki Road. That's the roadway that was shut down overnight. I think that was measured at about two-and-a-half inches and a half-inch wide, and then as they measured downward, it was about eight feet deep," said Talmadge Magno, Hawaii County Civil Defense Administrator.

Hours before the eruption began, scientists said the cracks were nothing to worry about.

"There was no heat signature and there was no steam, so it doesn't seem that magma is rising towards the surface at this point," said Janet Babb, HVO geologist.

"The county was on it last night making sure they were not a hazard to the community, and then HVO is also monitoring them. When those cracks were discovered, they were in the area. They were able to go and inspect them, measured them for gas and temperature, which none was detected, which pretty much reveals the magma is still deep within the crust area," Magno added.

"If this opens up, I'll leave. If they force me to leave, I'll leave. Other than that, I ain't planning to leave," said Richard Jones. "Whatever happens, happens. That's it. Deal with it as it comes."

The scene after an ATF agent was shot early Friday in Chicago. (Fox News)

An ATF agent is fighting for his life after being critically injured in a shooting Friday in Chicago during a joint assignment with the city’s police force.

Residents near the Back of the Yards neighborhood say they heard a series of gunshots around 3:15 a.m. local time and the agent was later rushed to a nearby hospital.

“Officer hit, we need an escort to the hospital now!” an officer is heard saying in police scanner traffic in the moments after the shooting. “We need an ambulance as soon as possible. Find someone to meet us. He may be hit in the head.”


It was not immediately clear what the assignment was about and no one has been taken into custody, according to the Chicago Tribune.

A second officer was taken to a local hospital for observation but he was not struck by gunfire, police said.


In 2017, the ATF sent 20 agents to Chicago to coordinate with local authorities to combat gun violence. They reportedly joined dozens already in the city, according to US News.

Before the announcement, President Trump took to Twitter, saying, "Crime and killings in Chicago have reached such epidemic proportions that I am sending in Federal help. 1714 shootings in Chicago this year!"

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.

132-pound ovarian tumor removed from Connecticut woman
By Mark Lieber, CNN

Updated 2209 GMT (0609 HKT) May 3, 2018

The tumor -- here before surgery -- measured almost 3 feet.
Story highlights

• The tumor was removed in a five-hour surgery at Danbury Hospital in Connecticut
• The tumor was not cancerous but was still life-threatening due to its size

(CNN)A 132-pound ovarian tumor was removed from a 38-year-old Connecticut woman this year, according to two doctors involved in the case.

The patient, who wished to remain anonymous, reported that the tumor began growing at a rate of about 10 pounds per week in November. A medical team, including 12 surgeons, removed it in a five-hour procedure February 14 at Danbury Hospital in Connecticut, according to Dr. Vaagn Andikyan, a gynecologic oncologist for Western Connecticut Health Network and a lead surgeon on the case.

A team of 12 physicians performed the five-hour surgery at Danbury Hospital.
"During the surgery, we removed this gigantic tumor that originated from her left ovary. We removed her left ovary, her left (fallopian) tube, and we removed the affected peritoneal tissue that was adhering to the ovary," Andikyan said.
The tumor originated in the epithelial cells lining the ovary and was "mucinous," meaning it was filled with a gelatin-like substance produced by the tumor cells, according to Andikyan.
"Ovarian mucinous tumors tend to be big," he said. "But tumors this big are exceedingly rare in the literature. It may be in the top 10 or 20 tumors of this size removed worldwide."

Ovarian cancer vaccine shows promising results in human study
Although the tumor was technically benign, or noncancerous, and had not spread outside the ovary, it was compressing nearby blood vessels and was therefore a threat to the patient's life, according to Dr. Linus Chuang, chairman of obstetrics and gynecology for Western Connecticut Health Network, who was also involved in the case.
"There were a lot of issues related to this very large tumor in the abdomen. She can't eat, she can't walk, and there are problems related to potential complications with this large mass compressing the venous system," Chuang said. "She was at very high risk of developing blood clots because of compression of the blood flow."
Mucinous ovarian tumors make up about 15% of all ovarian tumors and are notorious for being among the largest types of tumors known. Approximately 80% are benign, according to a 2013 study.
One of the largest tumors ever taken out of a human was a 303-pound ovarian tumor removed at Stanford Hospital in 1991, according to a 1994 report.
In the newly reported case, physicians removed the 132-pound tumor as well as 6 pounds of abdominal wall tissue and excess skin that had been stretched by the tumor. The doctors also had to reconstruct the patient's abdomen, which had become disfigured due to the mass, according to Chuang.
"The abdomen was so pushed out that there were a lot of problems with the abdominal wall," he said. "So Dr. Andikyan had to consult a plastic surgeon to do reconstructive surgery afterwards."

Doctors find air pocket hidden in man's brain
When the patient first met with the doctors at Danbury Hospital, she was severely malnourished and could not walk due to leg swelling and the weight of the tumor. She needed to use a wheelchair to get around, according to Andikyan.
"When I first walked into the examination room, I found this 38-year-old malnourished patient with a weight of 350 pounds and extensive tumor that was about 100 centimeters [39 inches] large. I saw fear in the patient's eyes. She was so hopeless, because she had seen several other doctors, and they were unable to help her," Andikyan said.
"Her legs were so swollen that she was unable to walk. I've seen leg swelling, but I've never seen leg swelling of this magnitude," he added.
During the procedure, an anesthesiologist and cardiologist also worked to maintain the patient's blood pressure, particularly when the tumor was lifted off of the patient's major blood vessels.
"As soon as we starting removing the tumor, the blood pressure of the patient started dropping. So cardiology and the anesthesia team was able to adjust intraoperative management to support her heart and lungs to be able to continue with surgery," Andikyan said.
The physicians were able to save the patient's uterus and right ovary, meaning she can still bear children if she chooses, according to Andikyan.
"The good part about this story is, we were able to save her reproductive organs," he said. "As of right now, she's not interested in having more children, but she wanted to have the opportunity, and we were very careful to avoid damage to underlying reproductive organs."

Now, almost three months since the surgery, the patient is recovering well and has returned to work as a teacher.
"We wanted to let people know, but we wanted to wait until the patient was really doing well in the postoperative period. And it's been three months, and she's really doing great," Chuang said.
"Luckily, she did not require any additional treatment. She's back to a normal life, she's back to work, and when I saw her in my office, I saw smiles, I saw hope, and I saw a happy woman who is back to her normal life and her family," Andikyan added.
The doctors also want to encourage women to see their physicians if they have any symptoms of an ovarian mass. Those may include abdominal or pelvic pain, bloating, feeling the need to urinate often, and menstrual changes not related to menopause, according to the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition.
"If there's any complaining about stomach fullness or discomfort or indigestion, it's really important to bring it to the attention of your doctor or health care provider," Chuang said.

"Curtain of fire": Hawaii volcano spews lava, forces residents to flee

PAHOA, Hawaii -- Hawaii's Kilauea volcano sent more lava into Hawaii communities Friday, a day after forcing more than 1,500 people to flee from their mountainside homes, and authorities detected high levels of sulfur gas that could threaten the elderly and people with breathing problems. There were no immediate reports of injuries, but at least two homes were damaged by the eruptions.

Later on Friday, a two earthquakes rocked Hawaii's Big Island.

After a week of earthquakes and warnings, the eruption that began Thursday threw lava into the sky from a crack in a road and sent another line of molten rock snaking through a forest. The activity continued Friday, with reports of lava spurting from volcanic vents on two streets. Areas downhill from the vents were at risk of being covered up.

The community of Leilani Estates near the town of Pahoa on the Big Island appeared to be in the greatest danger. Authorities also ordered an evacuation of Lanipuna Gardens, a smaller, more rural subdivision directly to the east. But scientists said new vents could form, and it was impossible to know where.

Civil defense officials cautioned the public about high levels of sulfur dioxide near the volcano and urged vulnerable people to leave immediately. Exposure to the gas can cause irritation or burns, sore throats, runny noses, burning eyes and coughing.

Volcano expert Paul Davis said the gas occurs during the melting process. "It's sort of like you've injected ammonia into all your nose, into your breathing area, into your throat," Davis told CBS News.

Hawaii County Mayor Harry Kim tweeted Friday reminding residents the evacuations were mandatory.


Maija Stenback began to get nervous when she noticed cracks in the streets near her home. On Thursday, she shot video of the lava as it bubbled and splattered across a street about six blocks from her house.

"You can feel it all the way into the core of your being," she said. "It's just that roaring and unbelievable power of the lava bubbling up and spitting up into the air."

Stenback, her daughter and grandchildren packed as much as they could into their car. The two kids were each allowed to select three toys to take before the family left for a friend's home about a 30-minute drive away.

"I have lived through a lot of lava flows here, but never this close before," Stenback said.

There were no immediate reports of injuries, but at least 100 people were staying in shelters Friday, with many more evacuees believed to be with relatives and friends.

Gov. David Ige declared a state of emergency, activating the National Guard to help with evacuations and provide security to about 770 structures in Leilani Estates and 130 lots in Lanipuna Gardens left empty when residents sought shelter.

Two emergency shelters were opened for evacuees at the Pahoa Community Center and Keaau Community Center, CBS Honolulu affiliate KGMB-TV reports.

"My family is safe, the rest of the stuff can be replaced," one resident told KGMB-TV. "When I bought here 14 years, I knew that this day would eventually come. But the reality is sinking in now."

Kilauea has erupted periodically for decades, and scientists said they have no way of predicting how long the eruption will continue.




Volcanic eruption in Hawaii
A key factor will be whether a magma reservoir at the summit starts to drain in response to the eruption, which has not happened yet, said Asta Miklius, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.

"There is quite a bit of magma in the system. . It won't be just an hours-long eruption probably, but how long it will last will depend on whether the summit magma reservoir gets involved. And so we are watching that very, very closely," Miklius said.

County, state and federal officials had been warning residents all week that they should be prepared to evacuate because an eruption would give little warning.

The geological survey on Thursday raised the volcano's alert level to warning status, the highest possible, meaning a hazardous eruption was imminent, underway or expected.

Resident Ikaika Marzo said he witnessed large fountains of lava in the community that appeared to be 100 feet high.

"When we drove on that road, we heard a noise in the forest and it was like a little thump," Marzo told KGMB-TV. "Next thing, like three-to-five seconds after that, we smelled sulfur. After that, that's when there was tons of sulfur. Then we saw some lava popping out."

Henry Calio said the first sign that something might be wrong happened when cracks emerged in the driveway of his home in Leilani Estates. His wife, Stella, then received a call from an official who told them to get out immediately.

The two feared they might lose their house. "This is our retirement dream," Henry Calio said.

Kilauea's Puu Oo crater floor began to collapse Monday, triggering the earthquakes and pushing the lava into new underground chambers. The collapse caused magma to push more than 10 miles downslope toward the populated southeast coastline of the island.

The magma later crossed under Highway 130, which leads to a popular volcano access point. Civil defense authorities closed the area to visitors and ordered private tour companies to stop taking people into the region.

Over the decades, most of Kilauea's activity has been nonexplosive, but a 1924 eruption spewed ash and 10-ton rocks into the sky and killed one person.

A 1983 eruption resulted in lava fountains soaring over 1,500 feet into the sky. Since then, the lava flow has buried dozens of square miles of land and destroyed many homes.

LOS ANGELES (AFP) - A magnitude 6.9 earthquake shook Hawaii's Big Island on Friday (May 4), prompting fresh eruptions of a volcano that has been spewing lavanear residential areas, forcing hundreds of people to flee.

The US Geological Survey said the quake struck at 12:32 pm (Saturday, 6.32am Singapore time) and was centered on the south flank of the Kilauea volcano, which first erupted on Thursday after a series of tremors on the island.

"This is in almost exactly the same location as the deadly 1975 M 7.1 quake," USGC said in a tweet.

That quake killed two people and injured 28.

Another 5.7-magnitude tremor hit the island earlier on Friday and authorities said they expect more seismic activity.

The quakes have prompted the Kilauea volcano, one of five active on the island, to erupt.



Drone and video footage showed orange magma gushing up from cracks in the ground and snaking through a wooded area.

Molten lava could also be seen bubbling up through cracks on streets in the Leilani Estates and Lanipuna Gardens neighborhood where residents were ordered to evacuate on Thursday.

The area is home to about 1,700 people and 770 structures. The broader district potentially impacted by the threat is home to some 10,000 people.

No injuries have been reported but several homes were said to have been destroyed or badly damaged on Friday, authorities said.

Officials urged any remaining residents to evacuate and warned of extremely high levels of toxic fumes.

"Elderly, young and people with respiratory issues need to comply with the mandatory evacuation order and leave the area," a statement from the mayor's office said.

Governor David Ige said residents were being housed in community centers until the danger from Kilauea, one of the world's most active volcanoes, has passed.

Ige signed an emergency proclamation releasing disaster funds to the Big Island.

'FIRE CURTAIN'
The lava outbreak came after hundreds of small earthquakes in recent days that followed the collapse of a crater floor on the Puu Oo volcanic cone.

A 5.0-magnitude earthquake early Thursday south of the cone triggered rockfalls and potential additional collapse of the crater, USGS said.

It sent a short-lived but massive pink plume of ash wafting into the air.

Big Island resident Janice Wei, who moved to Hawaii from California - known for its own high earthquake risk - said the eruption was almost a "relief." "We've been waiting for big movement from the crater, after so many small earthquakes," she told AFP.

"Hawaiians and local people have lived here forever," she said. "You know what's going on; we have warning systems.

"Everybody should be prepared." Using his drone, area resident Jeremiah Osuna captured video footage of the lava flow, which he described as a "fire curtain" that left him feeling "shock and awe." "It was like if you put a bunch of rocks into a dryer and turned it on - a lot of earth and pressure and fire just moving around," Osuna told AFP.

Governor Ige activated the state's National Guard troops, and told residents to pay heed to official warnings.

In his emergency declaration, the governor noted the current flow was similar to a 1960 eruption in the Kapoho area that "caused significant damage." .

FEMA MOBILISING
Geologist Janet Babb of the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory told AFP that scientists had been following an "intrusion of magma" down the rift zone since Monday afternoon in anticipation of a possible eruption.

Though the cracks from which lava was emitting had gone dormant, she emphasized that "the overall concern and the overall event has not ended." US Senator Brian Schatz of Hawaii said the Federal Emergency Management Agency was mobilizing resources, as well as monitoring for forest fires, power outages and water supply issues.

Hawaii Island, or the Big Island, is the largest of the eight main islands that comprise the Pacific US state, an archipelago that includes hundreds of smaller volcanic islands.

Hawaii braces for long upheaval from volcano as new vents open

PAHOA, Hawaii -- The number of homes destroyed by lava shooting out of openings in the ground created by Hawaii's Kilauea volcano climbed to five. Some of the more than 1,700 people who evacuated prepared for the possibility they may not return for quite some time.

"I have no idea how soon we can get back," said Todd Corrigan, who left his home in Leilani Estates with his wife on Friday as lava burst through the ground three or four blocks from their home. They spent the night on the beach in their car and began looking for a vacation rental.

CBS affiliate KGMB-TV reports that two new vents opened in the neighborhood on Saturday, bringing the total to 10. Video footage showed lava shooting into the air.

Earlier, the older fissures, each several hundred yards long, had quieted down and were only releasing steam and gas.

Scientists said Kilauea was likely to release more lava through additional vents, but they were unable to predict exactly where.

Talmadge Magno, administrator for Hawaii County Civil Defense, told CBS News correspondent Carter Evans that it's not known for how long the volcanic activity will continue.

"That's the sad part about it," Magno told Evans. "It could be happening for a long time, or on the other hand, like I said, mysteriously it could just end."

Leilani Estates, a subdivision in the mostly rural district of Puna, is at greatest risk. Authorities ordered more than 1,700 residents to evacuate from there and nearby Lanipuna Gardens.

Hundreds of small earthquakes continued to rumble through the area Saturday, one day after a magnitude-6.9 temblor hit - the largest earthquake to hit Hawaii in more than 40 years. Magma moving through Kilauea set off the earthquakes, said geologists, who warned of aftershocks.

Authorities cautioned sulfuric gas pouring out of the vents also posed dangers, particularly to the elderly and people with respiratory problems. Hawaii County spokeswoman Kanani Aton said some residents may be allowed to return home briefly to pick up medicine or take care of pets if sulfur dioxide levels drop.

Tesha "Mirah" Montoya, 45, said the threat of toxic fumes wasn't enough to make her family evacuate, but the tipping point was the earthquakes.

"I felt like the whole side of our hill was going to explode," she said. "The earthquake was what made us start running and start throwing guinea pigs and bunnies in the car."


Montoya, her husband and daughter don't know how long they will be away from the three-story octagonal house they built nearly 20 years ago in a patch of "raw jungle."

"My heart and soul's there," she said in a phone interview from a cabin on the north side of the Big Island, where the family had hunkered down. "I'm nothing without the land. It's part of my being."

Gary McMillan said his home is about 3,000 feet from one of the fissures in Leilani Estates. He monitored remote cameras set up in his home and said his home was still intact.


He's living out of his van with his wife at the nearby community center and constantly thinks about things they left behind, but understands why authorities evacuated residents.

"I was a critical care nurse for 37 years, so I understand the health implications and the dangers involved," McMillan said.

Kilauea has been continuously erupting since 1983 and is one of the world's most active volcanoes. In 2014, lava burned a house and smothered a cemetery as it approached Pahoa, the town closest to Leilani Estates. But this flow stalled just before it reached Pahoa's main road.

Nearly 30 years ago, lava slowly covered an entire town, Kalapana, over the period of about a year.
