'like someone gambling the bass in reality heavy'
Maija stenback, eyewitness
We stay in leilani estates, approximately six blocks faraway from the eruption.
We had been evacuated multiple hours in the past and we're now with friends.
Within about half an hour of the eruption, it became on social media, so me and my daughter went all the way down to examine it. You may hear and sense the eruption an awesome 1/2 a mile away, and the closer you obtain, the more you may feel it.
It became like while a person performs the bass actually heavy, and you can experience the bass - you may really sense the strength and the lava - the colour became fantastic, and the sound become fantastic.
It sounds very explosive... It is spitting out as tough as it is able to. It's now not so much what you hear, it's what you experience.
