There’s no eruption nor is one imminent. However it will not be surprising if it did erupt since volcanic eruptions happen during/after heightened seismic activity, but that doesn’t mean that heightened activity with no eruption over the past decades is just wash.

In other words, those living on the big island should continue as normal but should also be prepared in the event it does erupt. Things can change on a short notice, after all.

Mauna Loa, the world's largest active volcano, is erupting for the first time in nearly 40 years,
which has caused an ashfall advisory to be issued for Hawaii's Big Island until 6:00 a.m. local
time (11:00 a.m. ET) on Monday (November 28), state officials reported.

The eruption began at around 11:30 p.m. HST on Sunday (November 27) in Moku‘āweoweo,
the summit caldera of Mauna Loa, according to the United States Geological Survey, which
noted that it was not believed to be threatening to communities located downhill.

The Hawai'i Tourism Authority said it was "closely monitoring" the eruption, also noting that the
eruption wasn't believed to threaten nearby communities.

Maunaloa from my backyard at 5 times Zoom

Daytime Maunaloa sure looks a lot different.  Like nothing going on. This is taken from the same spot I took the night picture.  Both at 5x optical zoom.

People don't seem to realize that lava is liquid rock.
 

Lava describes both the molten rock AND the solidified, cooled molten rock.

So, it's a dual-meaning word.

Just saying.   

Since last night I cannot even see any glow or even a lighted sky at night.  The fissure on my side of the mountain apparently shutdown and the flow is now on the opposite side of me, heading to the Saddle Road.  The state and a lot of people are concerned if it gets cut off.  I would immediately have gotten some D9s over there and build some berms to protect the highway.  All they gotta do is rip up the old lava fields and they will have all the material they need.
