Hawaii volcano: Kilauea erupts again and new fissures appear in ground as families flee

A volcano in Hawaii has erupted again, spewing toxic gases from two new vents and prompting authorities to call for an immediate evacuation of residents from a second neighbourhood. Authorities had ordered nearly 2,000 residents to leave two communities on Big Island last Thursday, but some ignored the order and decided to remain at home and watch over their property. On Tuesday, the emergence of the two new vents prompted Hawaii County to issue an emergency bulletin ordering residents of Lanipuna Gardens to leave their homes immediately.
