On May 3rd, 2018, the ground cracked open in a quiet neighborhood on the Big Island of Hawaii — twenty miles from the summit of Kīlauea. But it wasn't the crater at the top that destroyed Leilani Estates. It was the rift running underneath it – a highway of magma reaching from the summit down to the sea, opening fissure after fissure between lawns and mailboxes, feeding a fountain of molten rock taller than a twenty-story building. What followed was the most destructive eruption in Hawaii in two hundred years: seven hundred homes gone, and an entire bay erased from the map.
