Jim Kauahikaua is a good man, I sent him an email at HVO about 2 years ago when my and my neighbors yards began to crack open. He came out here that weekend, was very interested and informative, assured us that it was just a little settling, not impending doom.

Maybe somebody told the guys at USGS-HVO that they were outclassed in the map department by some guys on Punaweb! Wink

i wonder how they can detect if its all surface flows or if any of the older lavatubes are also filling up with magma and being a cause to recent earthquakes....looks like its about 6 miles to pahoa town if you draw a straight line....

I doubt lava tubes filling up would actually cause earthquakes. It's usually pressure in the underground-to-surface paths, major earth settling, or plate movement (such as with this last one) that do. What we should be worried about is the surface flows turning into tubes, that then yield "breakouts" much lower down on the slope.
Time is an illusion, but a handy one. Without it, we would not be able to hear sounds, and without that ability, we would have no music.

Perhaps if the current flow crusts over and keeps molten lava inside this will build a new lava tube? I'm not positive that is how it works, but think it is this way and not old lava tubs filling up. Any ideas on this?

Yes, pretty much. And hardened lava is apparently a great insulator for hot liquid lava. =(

By the way, this just in regarding the new flow...

Mayor Harry Kim is in the process of "coordinating all responders to a situation developing due to the Kilauea eruption". So they are definitely aware of it...

Man I can see realestate prices plummeting in all of Puna if the lava does get to some houses or crosses highway 130.

Glennoid, where did you hear that? We just started construction on a new home in Hawaiian Acres and this is getting pretty nerve racking!
