Two interesting excerpts from a T-H story today:
“Every time I try to talk with anyone at the county about it, I’m met with blank stares,” O’Hara said.
Mayor Harry Kim said earlier this month that the county would not be able to clear lava from the similarly covered Highway 137 because of a core of still dangerously hot lava that remains beneath the flow’s cooled surface. Removing the lava, he said, would have to wait until a minimum of six months passed since the pause in the Kilauea eruption.

6 months for the lava to cool
(and 4 years for DLNR to do its review on the TMT construction plans; 3 years to study the demolition of Uncle Billy's)
