TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) – The volcano, one of five on the island, began erupting on Thursday after a series of earthquakes over the past week, the U.S. Geological Survey reported on its website.
Residents in Leilani Estates and Lanipuna Gardens subdivisions, home to about 1,700 people, were ordered to evacuate after public works officials reported steam and lava burbling up from cracks in the road, the county's Civil Defense said. No injuries or deaths were reported.
