Volcano acting up

[Cindy Blankenship]

The tubes seem to be more like lava stream beds that crusted over than vent tubes where lava is apt to flow again? I guess though just like a dry stream bed if lava were moving over the ground where there's an opening, it would seep into it and flow there. I'd ask Harry Schmidt
though (see cave thread) and here's a page that explains the formation:

Does anyone have the page where we can check the daily vog index? I know that normally Kona gets it much worse than Volcano Golf Course subdivision and Volcano Village, well more so than anywhere but near the flow or gas vents, but for the last week, my eyes have been watering and taking a deep breath feels like taking a deep breath after swimming in heavily chlorinated pool. I know the sky can be blue, and everything smelling fresh, and vog can still be present, although when it settles in Kona it does remind me of smog...I can every taste it. I hope we're not getting it up here too now.
