Lava advances only 50 yards, slows again. This is an eruption and lava flow Information Update for Saturday October11th at 12:45pm Due to an early fire department mission this morning, today’s helicopter assessment was delayed. An assessment performed later this morning showed the flow front remains active and had advanced approximately 50 yards since yesterday. The narrow flow front continues to move northeast and is currently in an area of lighter vegetation east of the forest line. There was little burning activity along the flow front. The second very short and narrow finger or breakout along the north side of the flow front also remains active and has advanced approximately 30 yards but remains behind or further back of the flow front. Smoke conditions in the area was moderate due to the active burning along the edge of the flow. Current flow activity does not pose an immediate threat to area communities and no evacuation is needed at this time. Area residents will be given adequate notice to safely evacuate should that be necessary. The public is reminded that the flow is not visible and cannot be accessed from any public areas. Access to the Kaohe Homesteads subdivision will remain restricted to area residents only. We would like to thank everyone for your patience and understanding and your cooperation and assistance is greatly appreciated.
