'fast moving flow' would be measured in miles per hour...
ie Mauna Loa's 1950 Honokua flow!
the 1950 Mauna Loa Honokua flow, started at about the 10,000' level of SW flank and after crossing hwy11 reached the sea 2 miles south of where Ho'okena Beach Park is now, in only 3 hours.... A distance of 15 miles/3 hours = 5 MPH!
or more related to out current flow in steepness and direction of flow... the 1840 Puna flow that went the same way as the current flow, it started farther west than where Pu'u O'o is now (at where Mauna Ulu is now), and made it to the ocean on the east side of Puna just south of where Hawaiian Beaches/Honolulu Landing is now, in only 5 days!... about 3 miles/day

save our indigenous and endemic Hawaiian Plants... learn about them, grow them, and plant them on your property, ....instead of all that invasive non-native garbage I see in most yards... aloha
