Advanced 350 since yesterday and is 1.8 miles from the highway… sending positive thoughts to all of the ohana in #Pāhoa. #PunaLavaFlow update 12/12 Friday >> The narrow flow front has advanced 350 yards since yesterday morning. The HVO says they continue to monitor a narrow flow lobe that branches off the west edge of the flow field below the crack system. Civil Defense reported, this morning, that the leading edge of the flow was about 1.8 miles upslope from the intersection of Pāhoa Village Road and Highway 130, near the Pāhoa Marketplace. The active lobe is following a steepest-descent path that takes the flow towards the intersection of Pāhoa Village Road and Highway 130, in the vicinity of the Pāhoa Marketplace. In addition to this active lobe, a breakout from the lava tube on December 5, about 1.6 miles from Puʻu ʻŌʻō remains weakly active. The breakout is about 0.6 miles long, and has widened the flow field in this area by about 220 yards. The Hawaii County Civil Defense Agency says that smoke conditions were light in the immediate area with all smoke from burning vegetation being blown in a west direction with a light wind out of the east. The flow front has also entered a burn scar which has significantly reduced the amount of smoke seen from the flow front in the HVO webcams. There is no fire threat at this time and a light rain was noted throughout the area. The Pahoa Village Road remains open to all traffic and motorists are advised to exercise caution as some utility pole protection material remains in place. Everyone is asked to please respect the residents of the area who were affected by the lava flow and to not trespass on private property. #BigIslandLove #Pele #MalamaPono #BigIslandStrong #OperationPuna Latest photos: https://facebook/media/set/?set=a.775444609157470.1073741837.131132136922057&type=3
