2.192 million cubic yards of lava just disappeared. Cement trucks have a 2 cubic yard minimum order, so that's a million cement trucks of lava under pressure underground.
That's a hell of a lot of lava! E Pele E., for some of us.
The upside is the visitors and locals alike, have the opportunity to experience this phenomenon. Further, we are safe for now.

ETA: dakine, your knowledge of the lava in it's entirety is quite impressive, and appreciated. Mahalo plenty. Still, get plenty lava going somewhere!
