Hawaii's Kilauea volcano spewed ash nearly six miles (9 km) into the sky on Thursday (May 18) and scientists warned this could be the first in a string of more violent explosive eruptions with the next possibly occurring within hours. Residents of the Big Island were warned to take shelter from the ash as toxic gas levels spiked in a small southeast area where lava has burst from the ground during the two-week eruption.
