This animated GIF shows a sequence of radar amplitude images that were acquired by the Italian Space Agency's Cosmo-SkyMed satellite system. The images illustrate changes to the caldera area of Klauea Volcano that occurred between May 5 and June 2 at 6:00 p.m. HST. The satellite transmits a radar signal at the surface and measures the strength of the return, with bright areas indicating a strong return and dark areas a weak return. Strong returns indicate rough surfaces or slopes that point back at the radar, while weak returns come from smooth surfaces or slopes angled away from the radar. Over time, expansion of the summit eruptive vent within Halema'uma'u crater and the widening of Halema'uma'u itself are clear. The last image in the sequence, from June 2, shows the development of several cracks outside Halema'uma'u (previously seen in UAS footage of the crater) and inward slumping of a large portion of the western crater rim. The west side of Halema'uma'u is clearly unstable, and it is possible that rockfalls and continued slumping will occur in the future.

You can see it now!! Look at the subsidence on the right side of the bottom photo.  Also, notice lack of gasses being put off.

Woah!  this new break out south came out of nowhere.  I was aware of the emerging one north... but I've seen no overflights showing the south side.

I love to watch pahoehoe flowing. It's the most hypnotic thing ever. the gooey goo and the crust.

Don't want to live in HI, because I'm a snow guy. But *Butthead voice* Syrupy and copious lava is cool...

Oh, I agree. If they want to sit there and risk incineration...let them. I was just reporting the fact that another state has decided mandatory evacuation is within their purview. Katrina style gun confiscations next?

I don't think forced evacuations are unique to Hawaii.

I overheard your local council women say it's not uncommon for residents to take their guns when leaving home. Do you know what happens to their guns when arriving at the shelters?  What Guns?

I know most will have friends that will take them in

No I think until they update the map itself they just put dots on the leading edge more often..  That is old flow on the bottom right, but you can see the edge of the new flow jives with the dots.

from USGS FB
The fissure 8 lava fountain height has diminished. Previously, fountain heights reached a sustained 260 ft. During the overnight hours of June 4-5, fluctuating heights were measured at about 100 to 160 ft. The fountain is partially obscured by a cone built by lava spatter, which is about 115 ft high

More summit subsidence overnight to.. a lot of movement.  It could just as much subside to a point and stay that way as much as it could clear its throat.

That is crazy.  I know they said the bay was gone but wow.  To see it in a picture vs the Google image search I did.  All that just gone forever.  Its not like a hurricane where you can rebuild.  It's literally gone forever.

So if you buy a beach front property, are the boundary lines to the ocean?  Or are they a set amount of feet off the water, or a perimeter like a normal property?

The supreme court decided it in 1977 and said the state owns all new land.
