South fountain has decreased to around 1000 feet (300 meters) high and north fountain is 700 feet (200 meters) high. Tephra fall to the north and east has greatly reduced in the past hour. Fine ash and hair falling as far as Hilo and HPP.

Both the south and north vents are currently about 1300 feet (400 meters) high. Small tephra up to 1-2 inches are falling in Volcano Village. Light fall of tephra is also reported from Royal Hawaiian Estates at the 24 mile marker on Hwy 11

Both north and south vents are above 1000 feet high and producing voluminous tephra spreading to the north. Golf course housing and highway 11 are being hit with tephra up to 5 inches. Plume is over 25,000 feet asl and spreading north.

North vent fountains are just over 300 feet (100 meters) high. Plume is rising vertically, some falling tephra observed near V1 camera north of the vents. South vent began overflowing just before 10 am HST.

Episode 43 began at 9:17 am HST this morning when tremor doubled and tilt accelerated downward. Light and variable winds at the summit may cause tephra to fall all around the summit region and into communities to the north and east of HVNP

North vent began vigorous overflows at 8:17 am HST that continue at this time.

Just FYI, Matt and Miki successfully installed the new camera with an outdoor microphone and Thomas Jon got everything reconnected to Youtube on Thursday. The microphone is working well but the only sound right now is the wind.

Matt and Miki are at replacing the V1 camera with a new model this morning. This camera has sound, so we are going to give that a try. Bear with us though, it is an experiment and may take a few days to get the bugs out, if it works :)

HVO's V3 camera is now back online after onsite maintenance. Preliminary models suggest the likely forecast window for the onset of episode 43 lava fountaining is March 6-16.

HVO scientists are performing maintenance on the V3 livestream camera this morning. You may see glimpses of the people working on it as well as images of the ground and sky while it is being worked on.

Episode 42 ended at 11:38 pm HST. The south vent faltered and then jetted just after 11:34 p.m. Narrow jets erupted from the south vent in the last 2 minutes. The north vent dropped slowly at this time and also jetted in the last minute.
Kilauea Message 2026-02-15 23:22:12 HST
Both fountains have dropped to below 500 feet (150 meters). About 14 million cubic yards have been erupted and the UWD tiltmeter has recorded 33 microradians of deflation. Lava flows have covered 40-50% of the floor of Halemaʻumaʻu.
