May 1, 2018 Vent Collapses!!!
A quarter-mile long line of steam fissures from the Pu’u ‘O’o Vent to the west leads to a HUGE brownish red plume, emanating from the vent itself, the result of the floor of the vent collapsing yesterday. The event sent red dust from the vent to the Pali. We saw only one glowing skylight downslope, and no active surface lava anywhere.
