"Life in Lower Puna on the Big Island would change forever after lava erupted at the beginning of May 2018 in Leilani Estates.
Nearly 8 years later, travel in Puna is more costly and time consuming — even with greater hazard from worse connectivity — because of about 30 miles of roads forever locked underneath lava flows from one of the largest eruptions on Earth in recent centuries."

"It was hard to phathom when the eruption started May 3, 2018, that 24 fissures would open before the month was finished. "

Impressive stuff from a journalist with 25 years of experience.
