Patti Jones said The Associated Pressthat she started recording video on a cell phone after a man ran out of her pickup truck and threatened to shoot another man in the head who turned out to be his neighbor.

The target was shouting: “I live here”.

John Hubbard is accused of terrorist threats and other charges in state court. US prosecutors also charged him with criminal activities, possession of firearms and ammunition.

In Leilani Estates, where lava has erupted since early May, tensions are gaining momentum. Lava has already destroyed about 400 homes mainly in rural areas of Pune.

Jones evacuated 3 in May, when the first of many fissures opened in its vicinity. He lived in a shelter and returned when it was safe and the locals decided to look at the safety of their homes. 29 May she returned again to check her house, and decided to look at the lava flow, which hardened, but was still warm.

As she was about to get out of the car, the man parked his pickup truck behind her and jumped out. “I just assumed he wanted to look at the lava—like everyone else,” she said.

“When he pulled out the gun, I couldn’t do anything,” adding that she never expected anyone to have a gun. “I didn’t even expect the intention with which he came.”

The man demanded from Jones and another person an explanation of where they live. It turned out that they are all neighbors and live in Leilani Estates, but did not know each other before the incident.

Hubbard is awaiting trial.

Recall that 2 June 7 people were found in the evacuation zone, now they are awaited by the court for refusing to comply with the mandatory evacuation order.

4 weeks have passed since the beginning of the eruption of Kilauea, located on the Big Island of Hawaii, lava continues to emerge from volcanic cracks, burning houses and everything in its path.

The US Geological Survey reported that the lava has already covered an area of ​​5,5 square miles (14 sq. Km) —that is 4 times as large as the area of ​​Central Park in New York.

Over the island, more than 20 volcanic cracks have opened. Hole No.8 remains the most active, permanent lava fountains up to 260 feet (79 m) erupt from it. Lava streams coming out of crack # 8, advanced on 100 yards (90 m) per hour.

Kilauea is one of the most active volcanoes in the world and has been in a state of constant eruption over the past 35 years, taking short breaks. Its last major eruption was in the 2014 year, in the 2017 year, the volcano was also active, but it ended in insignificant outcrops of lava.

Signs of an upcoming eruption this year began to set in motion at the end of April, causing small earthquakes on the island. The immediate lava flow began on May 4, marked by the 6,9 magnitude earthquake, the most powerful on the island since 1975.
