Detailed Description
At 1:20 PM HST on July 5, a collapse explosion event occurred at Kīlauea's summit. The energy released by the event was equivalent to a M5.2 earthquake. The shaking produced rockfall from Halema‘uma‘u's steep crater walls (brown dust), as viewed from a temporary observation post at Volcano House.
