In this photo provided by the U.S. Geological Survey, red ash rises from the Puu Oo vent on Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano after a magnitude-5.0 earthquake struck the Big Island, Thursday, May 3, 2018 in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
The Kilauea volcano on Hawaii's Big Island erupted Thursday, scarring forests and sending plumes of ash thousands of feet into the sky.
Dramatic photos from the US Geological Survey show lava pouring into residential neighborhoods around a fissure that opened during the eruption. Luckily, no injuries have been reported and residents had plenty of advance warning about the eruption, so many evacuated.
While the eruption has now subsided, check out some of the stunning photos below.
