Some of the punawebbers I know were there, Lava is nowjust out of the tube, ~ 2 miles from Kaohe Homesteads (homeowners there had a meeting yesterday), rate ~100meters per day, Pu`uO`o output has been about 2x normal, but has backed off a bit recently, the little side flow is really starting to slow, now is the time for every resident & landowner t start to make sure you have a plan (esp. if you have livestock) and that they are planning for ~ one week notice IF n evacuation would be needed for an area (ed:if you would need more time, best to start planning now)
Most likely alternate route would try to be Chain of Craters (opening up the cooled lava covering for evacuation traffic), and the mauka or makai alternate route is a VERY long way off, the mayor had us do a reality check of the amount of land acquisition would be long & drawn out, with a very high cost & loss of property for over 100 residents, which would have to be undertaken with the consideration of these property owners.
oh, along with that some people tried to take over the meeting to their own agenda, even taking the microphone away from the Director of Civil Defense, but those were met with boo's - the Mayor bringing the meeting back to the lava flow was met with applause...
