    May 17 (Reuters) - An explosive eruption rocked Hawaii's Kilaueau volcano on Thursday sending an ash plume thousands of feet into the air, according to tweets from the U.S. Geological Survey.

    The powerful, steam-driven blast was expected to spew large amounts of volcanic ash and smoke from Kilauea's crater on Hawaii's Big Island. The eruption has destroyed 37 homes and other structures in a small southeast area of the island and forced around 2,000 people to evacuate their homes.

    shit just got real...Pele is making some serious noise

    It erupted today 30,00o ft into the air.....this isn't a few lava vents...it's like someone dropped a nuke...my heart goes out to the folks of the Big Island....2000 people's lives have been destroyed pretty much...if you have friends, relatives visiting the island...they'd be smart to leave now

    I'd say it's safe to say they've all been replaced already

    In regards to the people there, it sucks, but they do know they live on a GOD DAMN VOLCANO right? I think people accept where they live and the consequences. Tornados in the midwest, hurricanes on the east coast, earthquakes and volcanos for us. Don't fuck with Mother Nature, that bitch is undefeated!

    I have a friend that lives there. She and her husband have not left as far as I know. Hope she and her family are safe.
