Current Feeling on people shopping-dining Pahoa?

The HVO scientists say there is very little SO2 or anything else in the lava, since it is so far from the vent. Most of the smoke is from vegetation. (I know, smoke is smoke.) But since the two places are across the street from each other, probably the same amount of smoke. All of us on "the other side" will still shop at longs and the Malama shops as long as they can stay open since it is still a much shorter distance than anywhere else.
