Large Breakout Flow

Two new breakouts at Pu`u `Ō`ō began this morning just before 7:00 a.m., HST. The larger of the two breakouts, shown here, originated from the northeast flank of the cone, and fed a vigrous channelized flow that extended about 1 km (0.6 miles) towards the northwest. Flows from both breakouts remain close to Pu`u `Ō`ō and do not currently post an immediate hazard to nearby communities. This video was taken at 8:30am HST.
