This is an eruption and lava flow update for Tuesday, December 9th at 8:30 AM. This morning’s assessment shows that the flow front remains active and has advanced approximately 225 yards in a North Northeast direction in the last 24 hours. The active flow front is approximately 2.2 miles upslope of the Highway 130 and Pahoa Village Road intersection. Current activity does not pose an immediate threat to area communities and Civil Defense and Hawaiian Volcano Observatory personnel are maintaining close observations of flow activity. Residents down slope will be kept informed of any changes in flow activity, advancement, and status. Smoke conditions were light to moderate this morning in the immediate area with a light south west wind blowing the smoke in a north northeast direction. Smoke conditions may increase in some areas and residents that may be sensitive or have respiratory problems are advised to take precautions and to remain indoors. 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. Once again we would like to thank everyone for your patience and understanding and your cooperation and assistance is greatly appreciated.
