Volcano acting up

[Rob L]

The September 25 erruption map at http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/kilauea/update/maps.html shows that two of the three main active lava flows are heading south. If they continue for even a short distance further south, the map showing the steepest lines of decent (that someposted here recently) would indicate that they flow would continue south to the sea over recent lava flows, endangering nothing. If they did so, their decent would be much steeper than that of the third main active lava flow and the gravitational effect might starve the east heading flow of fresh lava.
