Lava map from Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, from Oct 28; photo from Oct 29, 2014, 6:30 a.m.. 11:30 a.m. Media Conference Call: flow around 270 yards from Pahoa Village Road. Around 100 feet from nearest residence. Tires burned yesterday, but thats done, now whats burning is mostly vegetation. Property thats being slowly overrun is ag property, with plants, grass, burning, and there will be probably some construction materials at some point. There is some inflation in the lava upslope--HVO is monitoring. Civil Defense is working with Corps of Engineers on a plan to possibly create a path, to breach Highway 130 to avoid massive lava pooling behind the barrier presented by Highway 130.
