Lava Flows Toward Hawaii Village, Threatens Major Intersection
Slow-moving lava from an erupting volcano on Hawaii Big Island continued to flow toward a small village, advancing about 250 yards on Monday, and threatened to reach a major traffic intersection before year end.
While the main flow from Kilauea June 27th eruption has stalled yards from the main road through Pahoa Village and just feet from a recycling transfer station, the breakout upslope is active and lava is crawling toward the area, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
The flow front is 2.3 miles upslope and does not pose an immediate threat to the community, Hawaii County Civil Defense Director Darryl Oliveira said.
Last month, the river of lava incinerated a house, the only home devoured by the stream of molten rock.
