While the lava continued to stall over the weekend, USGS geologists stressed the flow is far from over, leaving residents and business owners in P?hoa preparing for the possibility they may be cut off. As HPR’s Molly Solomon reports, local shops and restaurants are grappling with the decision of whether or not to stay.
