HONOLULU, Sept. 5 (UPI) -- Residents of the Kaohe Homesteads subdivision on Hawaii's Big Island are growing nervous as lava from the Kilauea volcano creeps closer to their homes.
Hawaii County Mayor Billy Kenoi declared a state of emergency Thursday as the lava is projected to reach the residential area in one week. The lava has been passing through the forest setting of large smoke plumes.
