Pahoa Residents Pack Meeting on Lava Update

USGS — Minor breakouts of lava ooze from the margin of the June 27th lava flow Thursday afternoon. These breakouts are located about 100 meters (110 yards) behind the leading edge of the flow.

The leading edge of the lava slowed to a stall Thursday. The lava, which has not advanced in the past 24 hours, is still 480 feet from Pahoa Village Road. Hundreds of residents attended a community meeting last night seeking answers and information on the lava front. HPR’s Molly Solomon was in Pahoa and has this report.
