The Kilaua's current eruption has not resulted in any deaths because the main hazard it produces is lava flows. These move very slowly, giving people plenty of time to evacuate.
Mount Pelee is a volcano and still is one
Kilauea is currently erupting and has been doing so since January 3, 1983. It is one of the longest-lived eruptions in the world.
Well first of allno one really lives near mount kilauea except for the city hilo but they are 30 miles away but if the biggest eruption ever happened they would leave before the eruption. - Alana
There is no way of predicting accurately when a volcano would next erupt. However, for Kilauea to have a "next" eruption, the current one has to stop. The volcano is erupting right now, and has been erupting continuously since 1983.
No one died during this eruption

The Heimaey eruption might have caused problems, but no one died.

The first recorded eruption occurred in 1820, but an earlier one is also believed to have happened around 1790 when an eruption killed several native soldiers and their families. The oldest rock to be found is about 23,000 years old.
There is no such thing as "a kilauea shield volcano". Kilauea is the name of a specific volcano that makes up the easternmost portion of the island of Hawaii, the largest of the Hawaiian islands. Kilauea is one of the most active volcanoes in the world, holding the record the the longest continuous volcanic eruption, which has been going for more than 31 years and shows no signs of stopping. Kilauea is a shield volcano, meaning it is large with broad slopes formed by countless flows of runny basaltic lava.
1.Mt.Kilauea burned down its own visitor center. 2.One of Kilauea's eruptions lasted 867 days. 3.On one of Kilauea's eruptions it managed to ooze out 205,000,000 cubic meters of lava. 4.Kilauea burned down a 700 year old Hawaiian temple. 5.Kilauea has a cinder cone volcano on it.
Kilauea has been erupting almost uninterrupted since Jan. 3rd, 1983. There have been many different episodes to this eruption, however different episodes do not define a different eruption entirely. The episodes only define a different way the eruption is evolving, for example if the eruption shifts from one area to another it is still the same eruption just a different episode of that eruption. Current activity can be viewed daily online at the Hawaiian Volcanoes Observatory Website.
Yes. In 1790 Kilauea erupted explosively as a result of water mixing with magma. The eruption produced a cloud of superheated ash and steam that wiped out a group of warriors during a tribal war. A similar, though somewhat smaller event ocurred in 1924, killing one person.
