A woman who fled her home after Hawaii's Kilauea volcano erupted says she first started getting nervous when she noticed cracks forming in her neighborhood streets.
Maija (MEYE'-uh) Stenback's house now sits just six blocks from a bubbling stream of lava.
She filmed it as the lava splattered across a street before she packed up her car and left with her daughter and grandchildren.
About 1,500 people were evacuated after the volcano erupted Thursday.
Stenbeck also says she smelled sulfur dioxide gas from the eruption. Authorities have warned the gas could hurt the elderly and people with breathing problems.
There were no immediate reports of injuries. At least 100 people were staying in shelters Friday. Stenback was staying with a friend.

More than 100 people are staying the night in shelters after Kilauea Volcano on Hawaii's Big Island erupted.
The eruption sent molten lava through forests and bubbling up from paved streets and forced the evacuation of about 1,500 people who were still out of their homes Friday after Thursday's eruption.
Henry Calio says he noticed cracks in the driveway of his retirement dream home in the community of Leilani Estates. His wife Stella then took a call from an official who told them to get out immediately.
The two feared that they might lose their home.
American Red Cross disaster services director Debbie Weeks says 100 people were staying in one shelter with about 20 more staying outside the shelter in their cars. Seven more people were staying at another shelter.
Weeks says many other evacuees were believed to have headed to the homes of relatives and friends.

Nearly 1,500 residents were ordered to evacuate from their volcano-side homes on Hawaii's Big Island after the Kilauea Volcano erupted, sending molten lava to chew its way through forest land and bubble up on paved streets.
Officials couldn't predict how long Thursday's eruption may last. Hawaii's governor activated the National Guard to help with evacuations and provide security for about 770 buildings left empty when residents sought shelter.
There were no immediate reports of injuries.
Hawaii County officials said steam and lava poured out of a crack in the community of Leilani Estates, near the town of Pahoa on the Big Island.
Images showed lava spurting into the sky from a crack in a road and a line of lava snaking through a forest.
Resident Jeremiah Osuna described the scene as a "curtain of fire."
