The civil defense personell at the ocean entry are the HVO scientist's eyes and ears at that location. The CD people report the local conditions daily and have a working relationship with the HVO.
All I'm saying is that this current event (like so many in recent times) is unprecedented. Dr. Jim Kauahikaua, the HMFIC at HVO merely told the CD person that he didn't know what was going to happen next. No big surprise here. The people at HVO know more about shield eruptions than anyone on the planet, but they will be the first to tell you that everyday brings new data. Their "papers" are far from finished.
The phrase "scratching their heads" is my feeble attempt at being a color commentator in this episode of "Pulsing incandescense".
I guess I felt that if I had represented the scientists as scratching anything other than their heads, I may have been censored.
edit: BTW- Still no activity this afternoon, but people were still lined up at 2:00 to get in.

I got up at 5:00 and checked the earthquake site out of habit and find there was a 3.5 at the caldera at 4:15. I went to the Halema'uma'u camera and found it flaring a bit higher and brighter than I've ever seen it. Changes to come???

RE: Volcano Acting Up #5: Pulsing Incandescence - Royall - 08-08-2008
I get up at 4:50 every work day[^].... Gotta make sure the wife is up to go to work
] I noticed the reported 3.5 quake was taken off the list. Must have been a false reading.[?]Royall

The question for me is: Why, on my day off, at 11:00am(Eastern), am I sitting on my ass at the computer instead of fixing stuff, or cleaning out the shed?

according to the tilt plot at http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/kilauea/update/deformation.html the magma didnt start re-inflating the summit until after 330 in the afternoon, and took until close to midnight before there were any signs that the puuoo area had begun to re-inflate, let alone any lava 'emerging' from anywhere.

You're right Dakine, but the lava IS going to re-emerge at Pu'u O'o.
Edit: Saturday update- Surface Lava now visable upslope. Looks like Pu'u O'o from my house.
