Does it affect the local inhabitants? I'm not sure how far the mountains and the major population centres in hawaian island chains are from each other.

Not really, since few people live up near this volcano summit. (Some do in the town of Volcano, though!) The bigger issue in the last ten years or so is when magma moves through the mountain and erupts lower on the flank, where more people live. That destroyed a lot of homes in 2018.

Kīlauea is doing its thing again. Watch live: www.youtube.com/live/gXKuUyK... Also, right now (11:22 am Central) there's a lot of thumping noises as scoria fragments are raining down and smashing into the camera housing. You most definitely would not want to be where that camera is right now.

Debris!

"This camera replaces the view of the original V3 livestreaming camera that was destroyed by lava fountaining during episode 38 on December 6, 2025" Incredible stuff.

So what you're basically saying is that we're doomed.

SO doomed
