New update in past few minutes, lava to K2 lava tube may be cut off.

Recent Observations of the Kahauale`a 2 flow: It is possible that yesterday's activity cut off the lava supply within the Kahauale`a 2 lava tube. PNcam views yesterday and overnight showed stationary glowing spots on breakouts at the north base of Pu#699;u #699;#332;#699;#333; cone and wispy smoke plumes, with a few glowing spot at night in the distance. Yesterday morning, HVO geologists found the most distant Kahauale`a 2 breakouts still active extending extending 7.1 km (4.4 mi) northeast from the Pu#699;u #699;#332;#699;#333; vent (see map). From this morning's webcam views, it's clear that the flow is still hot but is far less active than prior to the June 27 collapse. We should know with more certainty over the next few days whether the Kahauale`a 2 lava flow has stalled.
