HVO maps 9/5/2014 - csgray - 09-05-2014

HVO just posted new maps and they are a little scary.

Don't worry. Be happy.

The only map I see is from 1PM today. What is interesting is the blue lines, suggesting flow paths.

I had been checking all evening and posted when the map went up. As a former cartographer, the map date and time are usually when the map is finished by the map maker, not when it went up on the internet.

I guess I should have posted the link, I just assumed that by now everyone has it bookmarked.

The blue lines are actual surface water flow lines... think of them as dried up creek beds that are only active during heavy rainfall. They are shown as the geologist said to give an idea of where the lava will likely flow following similar paths to that of the surface water flows if or when the lava become a surface flow again.

This (blue lines) would have been invaluable material to be able to get my hands on, Before I bought my property.. Oh well.

So if there is a surface flow, the blue lines lead to Pahoa not Leilani. Is that what we are to infer? Then maybe across the undeveloped area between Beaches/Shores and HPP.

Lava doesn't flow like water either, since it can harden and change the topography, but this is the best guess of possible lava movements based on where water would flow and the trend is clear: north and east is the general path, if the lava continues uninterrupted on this direction.

The posting of this map at this time just makes it all a little more real. They did say it is hitting another crack which have been accelerating and controlling the movement in one direction so far.

edited to add, these maps have been around since the mid 1980s I had seen them before buried somewhere in the HVO site, but as long as the lava was flowing down the pali I think we all got a little complacent that it would keep doing that.
