Eruption Information Update For Sunday December 14th At 8:15 AM This is an eruption and lava flow information update for Sunday December 14th at 8:15AM. This morning’s assessment shows that the flow front remains active and continues to advance in an east-northeast direction. The active flow had advanced approximately 300 yards since yesterday and the front remains approximately 1.4 miles upslope of the Highway 130 and Pahoa Village Road intersection. Current activity does not pose an immediate threat to area communities and Civil Defense and Hawaiian Volcano Observatory personnel are maintaining close observations of flow activity. Residents and businesses down slope will be kept informed of any changes in flow activity, advancement, and status. Smoke conditions were light this morning in the immediate area with a light north wind blowing the smoke in a south southeast direction. Smoke conditions may increase in some areas and residents that may be sensitive or have respiratory problems are advised to take precautions and to remain indoors. The Pahoa Village Road remains open to all traffic and motorists are advised to exercise caution as some utility pole protection material remains in place. Everyone is asked to please respect the residents of the area who were affected by the lava flow and to not trespass on private property. Additional updates will be broadcast as conditions change. Once again we would like to thank everyone for your patience and understanding and your cooperation and assistance is greatly appreciated.
