Many volcanoes on Hawaii have been known to be destructive, and Mount Kilauea is the most active volcano on the Big Island. But the most destructable volcano to date was the Mauna Loa volcano which erupted late in the evening of June 1, 1950. Massive lava flows travelled 14 miles down the destroyed part of the village of Ho'okena-mauka, including several houses and the post office. By daybreak the flow cut off escape from the village when it crossed the only road entering and exiting the village in two places. Thankfully no one was injured or killed in the eruption.

Is Kilauea the youngest volcano in hawaii?

No. While Kilauea is one of the most active volcanoes in the world, and it is a hazard, it is not nearly as dangerous as some other volcanoes. Kilauea's eruptions mostly produce slow-moving lava flows, which are destructive but easy to escape. The most dangerous volcanoes are those that produce pyroclastic flows, fast-moving clouds of superheated ash and gas. Such volcanoes include Mount Vesuvius, Mount Pinatubo, and Mount St. Helens.
