PAHOA, Hawaii:  Wednesday, June 7  Tutu Pele is once again active and putting on a show since officials announced its eruption just before dawn
Officials said tens of thousands of visitors are expected each day to catch a glimpse from the many lookouts at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
Hawaii at the right time.
“It’s been incredible. We’re glad we got to see it in person. We weren’t expecting we would be able to do so here we are,” said John Torchia, an Indiana resident.
Pele in nature; and us as Hawaiians as kanaka Maoli, this is critical to use. This is what created the islands, and we have to respect that and honor that.”
“We actually have what we call a new eruption crew, and we set up members of our eruption crew starting very early this morning,” said Ferracane. “You can see them helping direct traffic when you come in responding to calls. We already had some people getting a little lost because they’re not quite sure where they’re going.”
Some earthquakes could be felt as David Philips, HVO deputy scientist-in-charge, said, “I live in Volcano across the way; it was rattling. The house was rattling and shaking from earthquakes all night.”Officials said a swarm of earthquakes hit around 3:30 a.m. leading to the orange glow an hour later
“Right now, there’s no seismicity heading into the direction of the East rift zone.”
Some say Pele was born in Tahiti to the fertility goddess Haumea, but was forced to flee to Hawaii in a great canoe after seducing the husband of her older sister, the goddess of the sea. At different islands in Hawaii, Pele used her stick to dig out fire pits, forging the archipelago’s magnificent volcanic craters. Legends vary as to her origins, but chants suggest Pele followed her star to Hawaii from elsewhere in Polynesia, similar to the seafarers who reached the Hawaiian Islands in an epic feat of navigation and migration around the time Europe was mired in the Dark Ages.
