The Leilani Estates neighborhood in Kilauea's East Rift Zone has sustained the worst damage from the eruption. The area is pictured here on May 24 of last year.
In Leilani Estates and surrounding neighborhoods today, lava is spewing from 20 fissures, or cracks in the ground. It has burned houses, vehicles, and infrastructure.
Leilani Estates is a populous subdivision with almost 2,000 residents. Here's another view of it in 2017.
In parts of that neighborhood today, lava is piled up over 40 feet thick.
Like much of Hawaii's Big Island, the Leilani Estates neighborhood was formerly lush and verdant.
But many parts of the neighborhood now look brown due to burning and ash. Here's a view of an active fissure on a property in Leilani Estates.
Over 1,000 residents are still unable to occupy their homes. Geologists expect the eruption to continue and warn that it may become more violent in coming days, spewing more ash and lava into residential neighborhoods.
