A magnitude 5.6 earthquake has struck the summit of Hawaii's Kilauea volcano summit, sending a plume of ash and rock about 10,000 feet into the sky. Hawaii County officials said the Wednesday eruption could cause ash to fall over some populated areas, including the towns of Volcano and Pahala. The temblor came just hours after U.S. Geological Survey scientist Wendy Stovall said another eruption was imminent. Increased earthquake activity in the region earlier in the day fit what Stovall called a "pattern" for explosive eruptions at Kilauea's summit. No tsunami was generated by the earthquake, officials said. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park spokeswoman Jessica Ferracane said there were several earthquakes at the summit early this morning. A live webcam stationed at the summit shows volcanic gas and ash pouring from the crater vent.
