It looks to me from the map of Nov. 15th that most of the lava is now heading south. See http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/kilauea/update/maps.html
I've called it too early before, so don't hold your breath. Still, if I'm wrong and the lava did cross Highway 130 and they built a gravel road to the Chain of Craters Road (and no one was hurt or homeless) I think we could all get used to living a little more remotly. It was the remotness of lower Puna that was part of its orignial attraction to me. It might be like living at South Point. A long drive, which would discourage those who were not in love with the place from visiting.
Aloha,
