Currently storming in Maryland. With every thunder and lightning strike, it is rocking the camper and house around. Can feel every thundering jolt beneath my feet.

Putting the pieces back together before the next storm hits...but I dont think there will be enough time.

Running on generators and starlink and holding it together.

The rugged lava fields and beautiful olivine rich basalt of Mauna Loa. They’ll always remind us of that July 2022 summit push where every step, every laugh, and every “are we there yet” became part of the adventure.

Precursory overflows have begun from the north vent. Time to check into the LiveStream!

Fountain Window Open!

That rapid inflation tapped the brakes around 6:00 AM, but the stage is set. Current models put the start of Episode 53 fountains between later today, August 12, through Friday, August 14.

We've already clawed back 13.9 microradians of tilt at UWD after taking that 14.4 microradian deflationary hit during Episode 52....pressure is building fast! 🌋🔥

Call it WHAT? Lava fountains 1, 2, or 3 could be as easrly as today! Tell us what you think.

Just before Dewey Cone on the Mauna Loa summit hike, I decided the trail was optional and napping was mandatory.. proof that when you’re tired, you sleep where and when you can.

Kīlauea Update: M5.2 Offshore Shake & Episode 53 On Deck

Things are moving fast at the summit. Here is what’s going on right now across the data:

M5.2 Earthquake Offshore: A strong Magnitude 5.2 hit late last night (23:48 UTC-4 / 19:48 HST) about 42 km ESE of Naalehu at a depth of 10.7 km, triggering a sharp vertical spike on the UWD tilt trace.

Rapid Re-Inflation Underway: The Uēkahuna (UWD) tiltmeter flipped back to inflation around 10:30 AM yesterday, gaining over 2 microradians in ~12 hours and charging at roughly 3 µrad/day.

Episode 53 Projected: If this inflation rate holds, HVO projections show Episode 53 could start as early as this Wednsday and no later than Thursday.

Vent & Glow Activity: Moderate glow is visible from the north vent and the new collapse zone above the south vent (which started glowing around 8:45 PM and brightened before 10 PM HST). The main south vent itself remains dark.

Captured on August 10, 2022 at 6:29 a.m., this raw archived photo preserves a quiet moment of a sea turtle resting on the rocky shoreline. The early light glows softly across its shell, highlighting the natural textures and stillness.
