Loading ...The view from Pahoa village
There is a constant stream of evacuees coming from Beach road, including a convoy of heavy equipment, dozers and end loaders coming out of Kapoho before it is isolated in a few hours from now. USGS reports the volcano is erupting 400,000 cubic yards per day of outflow. The current eruptive vents are some 3,500 feet lower in elevation than where the previous lava lake reservoir was at the summit. This area of the rift is swollen and under magma pressure. The volcano has a LOT of lava to dump. This could continue for a long, long time.
