The Week's Top StoriesLava Speeds Up And Forces More Evacuations As Despair Grows
More residents of Leilani Estates are having to evacuate, being forced out of their homes by approaching lava and dangerous fumes.
The lava is moving fast, swallowing up vegetation and man-made structures in its path. According to a USGS scientist, recent fissures are now spouting “the hottest lava that we’ve seen in this eruption.”
One fissure was observed early Wednesday fountaining lava over 200 feet into the air. (That’s taller than Aloha Tower.)

Interior Secretary Doubles Down On ‘Konnichiwa’ Comment To Hanabusa
About two months ago, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke and Congresswoman Hanabusa had an odd exchange. Zinke greeted Hanabusa with a head-scratching “konnichiwa” during a committee hearing, which Hanabusa and others pegged as offensive and racially insensitive.
Zinke defended himself then and continues to defend himself now. This week he went on a Breitbart radio show and said he had “friends that were Japanese.”
Hanabusa’s response? “Secretary Zinke continues to miss the point.”

Update:Aloha! Thank you everyone for your compassion, love and support throughout the last 48 hours and this entire crazy amazing life altering month of May on ...the Big island of Hawaii!
In the face of all that's happened to Briana and I (losing our living space to lava, being shot at while trying to have closure with our loss) we are still #punastrong.
Our dreams remain the same. All we wish for is to have a safe space in a lava 3 or higher zone) to grow food, raise our first child (a canine named: Korben "Chewie" Calrissian) and sustain our clowning and solar shave ice food cart business so that we may continue to keep our community smiling through these troubled times and beyond.
Briana's sister had the foresight to set up a gofund me account when this all began. Here is the link to our campaign. Any financial support we could recieve at this time would be greatly appreciated and will be used towards achieving our dreams listed above.

We are grateful and open to recieve any support, gifts or blessings as we move forward towards rebuilding our future. We are available to connect and look forward to meeting anyone who reaches out with goodwill. Mahalo.
Written with all our light, love and laughter,
Brianna Spangler & Ethan Edwards (and Korben too)

This was my yesterday. Happy to be alive. Be careful out there folks. This situation is really beginning to take its toll psychologically and the bad weather is contributing to emotional tensions. Folks are breaking down.
Briana Spangler was present along with Aurorah DavisLauren Kaech and Preston Cook. We're all ok physically. Just shaken psychologically.
The police were called immediately and the shooter is in custody at this time.
Update: His name is John Hubbard. Looks like he's been a community menace for awhile. https://youtu.be/SpSFXITw0Iw
Always Stand up to bullies to prevent another person from being their next victim.
