one would assume there will be a bypass road further makai.. railroad ave? before the lava actually gets to the point of cutting off 130. and then further towards the coast as the lava advances. but, I do not think many people would like to live in a lot of that area once the lava gets to the ocean, the air quality downwind of the point at which lava enters the ocean is way bad. the worst that the volcano has to give in terms of gas emissions methinks. considering the wind patterns in the area I believe a lot of people would be effected to the point of leaving, even if they were the type to hike across the flow and have a nice quiet life because the highway got cut off. acid rain aint any fun at all. and its long term effects.. well I bet when that happens they flat out wont let people endanger themselves.
