A video of Hawaii’s Halema‘uma‘u lava lake shows it spitting and bubbling amid the continued eruption of the Kilauea volcano.

Rocks can be seen falling onto the surface of the lake causing it to spit lava into the air.

This is caused by the continued volcanic eruption which forces the levels of the lake down, exposing its walls.

The stream of red hot lava has engulfed homes, trees, cars and streets, and residents were evacuated to safety.

After the magma spread into local residential areas, the Hawaii County Civil Defense asked residents to evacuate to a local community shelter.

Hawaii Governor David Ige has told both the White House and the Federal Emergency Management Authority that the state will need help dealing with the disaster, which has destroyed 26 homes so far.
