HONOLULU (AP) — Scientists say
lava creeping toward rural communities on Hawaii's Big Island is slowing down.
The U.S. Geological Survey's
Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said on its website Saturday that the flow front
has slowed considerably over the past day and there has been a reduction in
smoke.
The Honolulu Star-Advertiser
(http://bit.ly/1tHXWfr) reports that the flow is about 1.4 miles upslope from
the outskirts of the Pahoa community and has advanced more than 10 miles from
its source at Pu'u 'O'o crater.
The lava emerged from a vent
on June 27.
