"Lava from the Kilauea eruption has boiled away Hawaii's largest freshwater lake in just a matter of hours.
In a statement released on June 2, the U.S. Geological Survey explained that lava from the eruption's fissure 8 entered Green Lake and boiled its water away, sending a white plume high into the sky.
USGS tweeted that lava entered Green Lake at 10 AM local time. By 3PM, Hawaii County Fire Department confirmed that the lake had filled and that its water had evaporated." foxnews.com/science/2018/06/12/hawaii-volcano-kilauea-lava-boiled-away-big-islands-largest-freshwater-lake.html

On Mt. Saint Helens they had suspicions for years, and pretty strong warnings 3 months ahead of the big boom:

Our local museum has a fantstic interactive volcano exhibit, and they assure us that there will be some warning, (they think).
If there is an eruption, I will just blame the government. It's a policy that has served me well.
