Detailed Description

The house which was recently destroyed by lava is just below the center of the photo. Lava bypassed the garage, which still stands at the center of the photo. Lava briefly entered the fish pond next to the house, before continuing downslope. Also visible is the small active flow next to the transfer station, and the larger, more rapidly moving finger about 360 meters (390 yards) upslope from AP‘A‘ā Street at upper right. The smoke at upper left marks another breakout widening the flow into the adjacent forest. The view is to the southwest.
