It's getting worse. 
Hawaii volcano destroys 21 homes, spews lava 200 feet in air
Quote:
The number of homes destroyed by Hawaii's Kilauea volcano jumped to 21 Sunday as scientists reported lava spewing more than 200 feet (61 meters) into the air.
Some of the more than 1,700 people who evacuated prepared for the possibility they may not return for quite some time.
Hawaii officials said the decimated homes were in the Leilani Estates subdivision, where molten rock, toxic gas and steam have been bursting through openings in the ground created by the volcano. Officials updated the number of lost homes after an aerial survey of the subdivision.
"That number could change," Hawaii County spokeswoman Janet Snyder said. "This is heartbreaking."
