report of the lava on Kaupili being within 75 yards of Kahukai. Moving north. Houses in its path.
After Kahukai is Pohoiki... then some open grass land... then highway 132. Then more housing that has not yet been evacuated... then forest land... then government beach rd... and ocean. When it crosses 132 that should trigger the evacuation of several thousand people currently to the East of all this who will have to get out before Government beach rd gets cut. ( this would include the Civil Beat people ) |

Thanks for posting these videos. Some of those folks are crazy, no way would I be that close to the lava. My wife and I got a chance on the Big Island a few years ago when they had a flow just west of what they have now. Walked around in front of the toe for about an hour, we had to travel about 100 yards in that time to stay in front of it. It is truly awe inspiring to watch in the flesh. |

lava flow on Kaupili st taking another house. Black smoke = house ... or maybe a car. gray smoke = wood/vegetation white smoke = steam or gases from the lava vents themselves. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DeFB4QjVMAAw-Tq.jpg:large Let’s use a forest fire for example, color of smoke is one of your biggest clues as to what is going on with flames you can’t see, as you approach the afternoon heat and loss of humidity along with likely stronger winds, fuels that have been heat treated and drying out from nearby fire eventually start to go off and the fire starts to rip. White, grey or blue smoke is low intensity and black smoke is high. A lot of times driving to a fire in a local area and being first on scene one of the few things you know going in is color of smoke thanks to a helo or fire watch. vegetation for Hawaii burning is a bit different than The rest of the county, there is generally a wet side and a dry side to the Hawaiian islands and fires rarely grow big because the wet side generally stays wet and the dry side generally stays dry. Where as the rest of the country will go from wet season to dry season and hence we see fire season get going in late summer Hawaii is a very different animal. Cars and houses will always emit black smoke because they will always burn intensely along with the chemicals and all the other shit burning with it. There’s your fire related fun fact o day And in this case lava related fun fact |

Fissure 22 continues to erupt lava that is flowing southeast to the coast and the lava ocean entry. Fountains at Fissures 6 and 13 feed lava into a channel that reaches the coast forming a second ocean entry. Fissures 7 and 21 are feeding a perched lava pond and phoehoe flow that has advanced northeastward covering most of the area between Kaupili and Mohala Streets. The flow front has become an 'A' flow and is advancing slowly toward Pahoa Pohoiki Road. The latest observations indicate the flow front is about 150 yards from the road. On the west side of Fissure 7 a perched phoehoe flow (near Makamae St) broke out around 04:00am feeding short flows to the west. Overnight, flaming and vigorous spatter was observed from a cone on Fissure 8, while Fissure 17 was the source of multiple booming gas emissions. Sensors in the LERZ(Lower East Rift Zone) indicated that the lava ocean entries remained active overnight. |

I don't think this has been posted yet.
Pahoehoe: Low volume flow rate, low flow rate velocity, forms lava tubes, few, many flow channels, thin flow units (0.2-2 meters or 0.7 to 6 feet), lower viscosity, slightly hotter 'A'a: High volume flow rate, high flow rate velocity, forms large channels, few, large flow channels, thick flow units (2-10 meters or 6-30 feet), higher viscosity, slightly cooler |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
The pahoehoe flows have certainly not been Low flow rate and are almost always much faster than A'a... A'a is usually quite slow... like turtle can out run it slow. I think the flow volumes can be comparable... but I suspect pahoehoe generally has much more volume. The flows from these fissures have been primarily Pahoehoe... probably nearly 50 times more pahoehoe than A'a thus far. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
I don't think this has been posted yet. Pahoehoe: 'A'a: I should have read it more carefully. Here is from the USGS- https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/vsc/glossary/aa.html ‘A‘a (pronounced "ah-ah") is a Hawaiian term for lava flows that have a rough rubbly surface composed of broken lava blocks called clinkers. The incredibly spiny surface of a solidified ‘A‘a flow makes walking very difficult and slow. The clinkery surface actually covers a massive dense core, which is the most active part of the flow. As pasty lava in the core travels downslope, the clinkers are carried along at the surface. At the leading edge of an ‘A‘a flow, however, these cooled fragments tumble down the steep front and are buried by the advancing flow. This produces a layer of lava fragments both at the bottom and top of an ‘A‘a flow https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/vsc/glossary/pahoehoe.html Basaltic lava that has a smooth, hummocky, or ropy surface. A pahoehoe flow typically advances as a series of small lobes and toes that continually break out from a cooled crust. |

Album updated with more pictures.
these specific ones are from Yesterday I think. Credit: https://www.facebook.com/andrewrichardhara The flow crossing Kahukai 
 Also at the south side of the lava pool there's some flow trying to head South but bumping up against Kahuwai Crater. (remnant of past fissure eruptions) 
 I believe these are from Yesterday. Just about half an hour ago I heard over the radio that the flow had crossed Pohoiki rd. Since the flow spread out a lot between Kahukai and Pohoiki rd... precisely where along Pohoiki rd it crossed was not made clear. |

Another house which they found a ridge they could stand on to overlook fissure 6 they also saw pigs (unknown if wild or escaped) Thus it was called the pig house thereafter. This house still exists and can be seen on the hill opposite the USGS camera. It is however now cut off from anyone accessing it as the only access road (Kahukai) has an active lava flow going across it currently. |

USGS reports that the South East side of the massive lava lake from Fissures 7 and 21 has started spilling into Pawai Crater. That's one of the three craters in the ridge to the south.
This is a good thing. any lava going there isn't taking houses... and potentially isn't feeding the NorthEast flow that's across Pohoiki Rd. If enough is stolen from that flow long enough it could even kill it... for quite a while if not for good. I was asked to explain... so I added some arrows to my map real quick.

Fissure 21 is feeding an 'a' flow that has advanced to the northeast and this afternoon crossed Pahoa Pohoiki Road onto PGV property. Fissure 7 is feeding a flow that has turned south toward the coast, and at dusk the lava was cascading into the Pawaii crater, adjacent to the western margin of the fissure 6 flow that feeds one of the ocean entries. Well if the fissures have split duties like that... this flow we can see on the USGS cam isn't going to be slowing down. |

https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/volcanoes/kilauea/status.html
Fissures 22 and 13 continue to feed lava flows extending south to the lava ocean entry. Signals recorded on stations in the LERZ indicate that the lava ocean entry remained active overnight. Fissure 21 is feeding an 'a' flow that has continued to advance to the northeast on PGV property. However, the rate of advance has slowed overnight coincident with an observed decline in the vigor of fountaining at Fissure 21. Fissure 7 activity has increased overnight, producing a large spatter rampart over 100 feet tall from fountains reaching 150-200 feet. The fountains fed a perched phoehoe flow 20-40 feet thick, and ultimately a flow that had turned south toward the coast last night. Large cracks were observed overnight on Kupono St. about 360 yards north of Malama St, near Fissure 9. Fissure 8 had three vents active overnight that were spattering and flaming, and have doubled in size over the past 24 hours. Fissure 6 was inactive overnight. 
It's right up on and maybe a little inside that green building on the edge of the PGV well pad. http://www.kitv.com/story/38109291/big-islands-kilauea-volcanic-eruption-destroys-two-homes The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory reports a new fissure 24. It is between Kupono and Nohea Street in Leilani Estates and is not threatening any structures at this time. Lava flow crossed into PGV property overnight but has not impacted any wells. A special task force headed by Tom Travis continues to work to make the wells safe and to prevent any threats to the public from developing. At this time there is no hydrogen sulfide detected. The public will be kept informed of the situation |
