RE: Hawaiian volcanoes - Part 14.3: Ongoing eruption of Kīlauea
Thanks for continuing to make updates on this! The degraded air quality from ash and toxic gases is yet another huge hazard that islanders are up against. In regards to the lava flow from fissure 17, if it continues all the way to the ocean there is a school and a major highway along the route that could be at risk.
I have not read anything about the school in the news yet. Have you heard something, now that the lava reached the ocean?
Current coverage on the news is mostly about the power plant that needed to be shut down.
I have not heard anything directly about the school but I know that it is closed and still at risk. The fissures farthest to the east are still active but are flowing much slower than the ones that reached the ocean. The Puna Geothermal Venture might be spared, but it seems doubtful that it will go online any time soon...
Also interested in more updates on this.
