VOLCANO, Hawaii — Most people, upon looking at the anchor photo of this edition of "Have You Seen This," probably thought someone had driven through a pile of gravel.
Nope. Not even close.
This actually came from the sky — no, really — when tephra, or rapidly cooled lava, rained from the sky around Kilauea volcano in January.
I wouldn't be worried so much about the small stuff falling; it's the larger pieces of tephra that would scare me. That'd be like trying to avoid a meteor.
In fact, the video did capture a larger piece falling, perhaps as large as a small person's head? It's hard to tell from afar, but either way, the tephra is seen spinning as it falls and plummets into the nearby tree line. Luckily, avoiding any nearby windshields.
