[EAS] Hawaii - mandatory evacuation - was there EAS triggered?

[Ed Czarnecki]

Well, it does appear the was at least a WEA activation in Hawaii.  Warning
sirens were activated.  However, not EAS.

CDW
WEA: "Mandatory Evac of Leilani and Lanipuna Gardens Subdv. Go to Pahoa and
Keaau Community Ctrs"
Issued: 2018-05-03T22:30:05-06:00
Expires: 2018-05-03T23:30:05-06:00

The alert polygon - if it were a circle - would be roughly about a 7 mile
diameter.  

Reading the press reports and statements of local officials, I'm going to
venture a guess that HEMA did not issue a broader EAS activation perhaps
because they did not want to further alarm the general public outside that
impacted evacuation area.

Just heard from folks on the island that there was an eruption - with
lava coming up through cracks in the ground - watched the news clip
about folks who said they only had minutes to leave (notified by
phone).

Was there any EAS activation - or should we just stick a fork in it
