On May 3rd of 2018, the Kilauea volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii erupted. Since May 3rd of 2018, there have been more than 600 hundred earthquakes from the volcanic eruption. Lava from the volcano has been shooting up more than 200 ft almost every day and there are no signs of letting up. The Kilauea volcano has been on a rampage for over two weeks now causing many evacuations and caution to this serious volcano.

rd of 1983. All the islands of Hawaii were formed from volcanic activity. As of today, Kilauea has been showing its stuff and pounding down on Hawaii with ash clouds and rocks that linger over the island.

The eruption was said to be from a series of constant earthquakes and since the volcano has had no signs of slowing down or letting up. Many homes have been destroyed as the continuous flow of lava invades communities which has not only caused damage but forced many to fully evacuate their homes.

I will say that this must be the most heartbreaking of them all because of the many lives that have to restarted and memories that will forever just be until Kilauea has fully gone back to sleep. But this does not stop here, the big huge issue is that the lava and gases are edging closer and closer to Hawaii’s Geothermal Plant, which is Hawaii’s source of energy through wind, ocean, and electricity.

As of May 29, 2018, the volcano continues to erupt with lava resulting in immediate evacuations for the safety of the public currently. Road are becoming opened by jagged fissures due to the activity of the volcano. Ash clouds have continued to hover over the Big Island of Hawaii.

In conclusion, though tropical storm Alberto has weakened to a subtropical storm, it still did not waste time wreaking havoc in the south. This storm has been brewing over the last past week now. Many in Alabama have been left without any power as the storm has Subtropical Storm Alberto made its way to landfall Monday afternoon in the Florida Panhandle. The storm has reached Alabama and large areas of Georgia — and eventually into Tennessee and the Carolinas.

It has not been confirmed if the storm has caused any major deaths or injuries, however, it has been said that in North Carolina, a crew of a television news anchor and a photojournalist were killed Monday when a rain uprooted toppling on their SUV as they were covering the storm system.

Two very uncontrollable forces of nature as with tropical storms and hurricanes you will have to ride the storm out until Mother nature has run her course just as with Kilauea’s volcanic activity. All in all, I would just ask as with this being a pure force of nature to pray for those in the pathway of these two natural phenomena that are occurring at this time.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
