The lava flow on the Big Island has slowed significantly over the last few days, but it is still moving steadily towards the Kaohe Homestead subdivision on the Big Island of Hawaii. According to Hawaii County officials, it is now less than 200 yards away, though due to the nature of the flow it is unclear if and when the lava will reach the subdivision. Residents have not been ordered to evacuate at this time and the danger is not considered to be imminent.
Government officials are also concerned about what to do if the lava flow overruns Highway 130 which is the main access point for the area. Different contingency plans are being drawn up, but Hawaiian groups are also reminding the state that it would be culturally wrong to attempt to divert of change the flow of lava.
