This composite image is an overlay of a thermal image over a normal photograph, and shows the active flows traveling down the pali, through Royal Gardens subdivision. The names of the roads not covered by lava are shown in white text. The last occupied residence in Royal Gardens is just west of the Plumeria-Hoku intersection. Red and purple areas in the thermal image show recent, but inactive, flows, while the yellow and white areas are active breakouts. The image shows that the main active flow front is about level with Plumeria street, in line with Ali‘i avenue. Behind this flow front, at the top of Royal Gardens subdivision near ‘Ekaha street level, is another area of active breakouts that are farther west.
