People on Hawaii's Big Island faced the threats of more earthquakes, lava and dangerous gas Saturday after the Kilauea volcano erupted, spewing high levels of sulfur dioxide and molten rocks into neighborhoods.
A magnitude 6.9 quake struck the area Friday, jolting homes already threatened by volcanic eruption.
The earthquake, one of dozens to hit the area in 24 hours, was the most powerful on the island since 1975, the US Geological Survey said.
The volcano, which erupted Thursday, already had driven hundreds of people from their homes. (Source: CNN)
