Yes, Kathy. I did read Jim's report. It was very well done, and I think addresses the current turn of events. Of course, the flow could stop tomorrow, but he makes clear that a tube insulates the lava and allows it to travel further faster and that pahoehoe flows are more fluid.
I actually enjoyed the "Megadisasters" program. The voiceover was ominous and comically scary but the program was otherwise factually correct (or seemed so). I found it very interesting that Mauna Loa rarely remains quiet for long. It looks so peaceful and quiet!
