HVO website says the flow was inactive today!

[snorkle]

Gosh, I really can't remember how fast it moved; Slow, but relentless. I do know they had barriers set up on the road in Kalapana where you could watch the lava advance a few feet an hour. When it would get too close, they'd move the barriers back a bit.

You could hike out on the pahoehoe floe and see red lava in the cracks about a foot deep(sneakers and flip flops didn't work).

People banded together and helped move homes and evacuate property. Nice landscape plants like bird nest ferns and Areca palms were dug up and moved also. The water coming out of the spigots was hot.

The crack flow has surfaced. The HVO has updated their report site and made The June 27 Flow the top paragraph before Puu Oo then Kilauea. Raising the paragraph does a lot. Imminent threat still canceled. Move along folks, nothing of interest here.
