June 27th lava flow advance rate slows

 

Minor breakouts of lava ooze from the margin of the June 27th lava flow on the afternoon of Thursday, October 30, 2014. These breakouts are located about 100 meters (110 yards) behind the leading edge of the flow.

 

The June 27th lava flow came into contact and inflated against an artificial berm on private property on Thursday afternoon. Note that the flow has inflated to a level much higher than that of the berm.
Lava near the leading edge of the June 27th flow oozed over a concrete slab and towards a tangerine tree before solidifying Thursday afternoon.
