Mauna Loa volcano moved to yellow alert. Aviation warning in place.
Check out Volcanoes and Earthquake site. I can't link it or I'll be banned. It's claimed as the worlds largest volcano. It had a shallow, 2 km deep, 4+ EQ directly under the shield. Now it's upgraded to yellow alert and an aviation warning is issued. I'll add more info as I figure out how to do it without causing terouble.

Volcano news: Mauna Loa volcano (Big Island, Hawaii)

Mauna Loa volcano (Hawai'i): increased shallow earthquakes, alert level raised
Friday Sep 18, 2015 06:47 AM | BY: T

The alert level of the world's largest volcano was raised a notch to "ADVISORY", and the Aviation Color code to "YELLOW" becuase shallow earthquakes have recently appeared in increasing numbers under the volcano. There is no sign that the volcano is about to erupt in a very near future, but it could be a medium- or long-term precursor of a next eruption.
The last eruption of Manua Loa occurred in 1984.
The original report by USGS:
"HVO seismic stations continue to record elevated rates of shallow, small-magnitude earthquakes beneath Mauna Loa’s summit, upper Southwest Rift Zone, and west flank. For at least the past year, the rate of shallow earthquakes has varied but overall has remained above the long-term average. During this same time period, HVO has measured ground deformation consistent with recharge of the volcano’s shallow magma storage system.
Together, these observations indicate the volcano is no longer at a background level of activity. Accordingly, HVO is elevating the Mauna Loa alert level to ADVISORY and the aviation color code to YELLOW."

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 35224508


Current Volcano Alert Level: ADVISORY
Current Aviation Color Code: YELLOW

Activity Summary: Rates of deformation and seismicity at Mauna Loa remain above long-term background levels.

Mauna Loa is not erupting. Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements continue to show ground surface deformations related to inflation of a magma reservoir beneath the summit and upper Southwest Rift Zone, with inflation occurring mainly in the southwestern part of Mauna Loa’s summit caldera magma storage complex. Shallow earthquakes, at depths less than 5 km (3 mi) beneath the south caldera and upper Southwest Rift Zone, continue to be the most frequently occurring type of seismic activity through the past week. Earthquake rates remain elevated relative to previously established baselines. Measurements from a continuously-monitored fumarole site within the summit caldera showed relatively steady fumarole temperatures and no significant changes in either sulfur dioxide or carbon dioxide concentrations in volcanic gas emissions.

I've tried several different links, but all claim copyright infringement and possible banning. But, with your info and mine, I belive we've enough to prove the doom factor!

Doom off.

Mauna Loa is not an "explosive" erupting volcano.

Its erupts slowly and just spills out slow moving lava.

It'll cause some minor problems for Aviation in the area, but we're certainly not going to see the whole island go up all Krakatoa or Santorini/Thera style...

So no, this is not "doom" worthy.

Mauna Loa eruption so insignificant....

Looks like this is not the only volcano with 4+ quakes occurring under or near them either.

If you check, you'll see its dominantly effusive. That means most of the time it's effusive, but not always. It all depends on the rate at which gasses can escape.

"Variability in the composition of deep magma is what leads to explosive or effusive eruptions, with the more gas-rich magmas producing the more explosive eruptions.
"Gas-rich magmas are 'predisposed' to rise quickly through the Earth's mantle and crust and erupt powerfully," said University of Hawaii volcanologist Bruce Houghton.
For scientists mapping real-time hazards and risks associated with volcanic eruptions, being able to predict the type or eruption and the direction it will flow in are critical. At an early stage, it is difficult to make accurate predictions of which way the eruption will flow and what form the eruption will take on."

mauna loa is capable of large explosive events

basing possible future events on past events is retarded beyond belief

odds are fuck all will happen, but odds can be, and often are turned on their head

Couldn't agree more. I'm just saying it will be worth watching. I'm not trying to say it's going to happen for sure. IF it does, and is explosive, look out.

It's only doom worthy for those who may be in the way of the flow. Lava doom on Hawaii is very, very slow doom.

And btw, it's status was elevated a year ago.
