(Also it’s a horror story about how our faith in the competence of American leadership is misplaced. Boy, is THAT timing off.)

Hawaii's Kilauea volcano has been repeatedly disgorging lava at its summit crater about once a week since late last year.
Kilauea's lava soared as high as a skyscraper during a 6-hour eruption. Here's what to know
Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano erupted for six hours on Wednesday. Officials say lava fountains reached 1,300 feet or 400 meters before petering out.
