Thank you for the report. I feel as if I had been there. I don't know what has happened to civility these days. Yes, after obsessively watching these reports every single day since August 9th, I have to say that his assessment can be read between the lines. At present, it is a slow moving flow meandering in our general direction, and not South. But shield volcanoes are built out of successive layers of lava. It is not surprising that lava might fan out over a wide area.
It was nice of him to avoid widepsread panic, but tube plus pahoehoe does not bode well.
Large earthquakes, new fissures, the shutdown of Pu'u O'o. We seem to have something new here.
And this appears to be taking place in human, and not geologic time. Thanks everyone.
