Lava toward Hawaiian Acres? - ElysianWort - 03-28-2016
I heard on the news this morning that the active flow's new steepest path of descent was directed toward Hawaiian Acres.
RE: Lava toward Hawaiian Acres? - lquade - 03-28-2016
the flow currently is in a rift that would hit the very last corner of HA g road heading towards ainaloa. you never really know but way too early to get worried about it...

The most up to date maps can be found at the HVO website. The latest maps were updated on March 25 and show the blue lines and current path of the lava.

Mahalo, HawaiiTedd. Here is also an article with video from Big Island Now:
http://bigislandnow.com/2016/03/28/hvo-monitoring-lava-breakout-moving-through-forest/
Hawaiian Volcano Observatory continues to monitor lava breakouts associated with the June 27, 2014 Kilauea lava flow, including one that that is starting to move through forested land to the northeast of Pu'u O'o.
None of the lobes currently associated with the lava flow are a threat to any neighboring communities.
The most distal of the lobes, according to HVO, was measured on Friday to be about 4.7 miles to the northeast of Pu'u O'o.
Seismic activity around Kilauea volcano is considered to be in background levels with some spattering reported along the edges of the lava lake. The lava lake is about 110 feet below the vent rim.
Over the last 48 hours, a minor deflation-inflation event happened at Kilauea’s summit. It started with deflation at 7 a.m. Sunday and switched to inflation about 12 hours later. The inflation continued on into Monday morning.
ETA: Delete those "699&%" things...

So people on Stardust Lane can start worrying in a year or two?

In the March 27 - Sunday paper on page A7 it states that this very slow moving lobe is about 5 miles up-slope from H.A.
Approx 4.7 miles from the N.E. side of Pu'u O'o
vent and started on June 27th 2014 .

The map at: http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/maps/ is what has probably generated the new "The lava is moving again" tizzy.
But, if you look at the captions, you'll see that the pink areas are as of 2/20/'16 while the red areas are the changes as of 3/25/'16.
One month and 5 days of movement doesn't seem to be much to get very excited about.
Plus, that runoff line is headed more towards Ainaloa than HA, and the land is still fairly shallow sloped.
Unless something happens like the flow rate increasing, there isn't much to get too excited about yet.
But again, one never knows what Pele is going to do.
EDIT:
As I take another look at this, I just know someone is going to read that I'm saying: "Don't worry it's only heading for Ainaloa, not HA."
That is not what I was trying to say.
There, beat you to it.

It is really hazy today all over Puna and into Hilo from the new forest areas burning. A long way from Hawaiian Acres but this much smoke is from a lot of new burning forest area.

The flow has really only moved to be from behind ER to behind Kopua Farm lots (and soon to be behind Fern Acres). Still over a mile back through the woods and down slope is towards the back ends of Ainaloa and the back corner of HA. As others have said, still plenty of time to see how or if this develops. I am looking hopefully toward the day there may be another breakout on the makai side of Pu'u'O'o and the forest will be given a reprieve. Perhaps Pele is still angry with Hi'iaka.
