The crater floor of Pu'u'O'o collapsed yesterday as lava withdrew from that area. I just missed this event as I had looked at the webcam less than an hour before!
Hopefully this will shift the eruption away from threatening more Kalapana homes... A great write-up here... http://hawaiianlavadaily.blogspot.com/2011...ure-puu-oo.html Videos and official updates here: http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/kilauea/update/images.html Also, just found a video of the Pu'u'O'o collapse on Youtube...check it out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTpURta4Nho UPDATE 3-21 Eruption is now paused. Long pauses are often followed by major changes in the eruption. This post has been edited by Sagebrusher: May 26 2011, 06:19 PM |

Just a quick update, still nothing major going on in Hawaii. Pu'U'O'o crater is slowly filling up again, and has a neat perched lava lake.

The lava lake is still uplifting, and lava has started to flow over the western rim of the crater.
They have some new webcams: http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/hvo/cams/ http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/hvo/activity/kilaueastatus.php http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/kilauea/update/images.html This post has been edited by Sagebrusher: Jul 28 2011, 04:20 PM |

There is some danger to Kalpana Gardens again if the eastern flow continues Here's a link to the webcam on the east side http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/hvo/cams/PEcam/ |

After dodging the lava flows for over 30 years, the last occupied home in the Royal Gardens has finally succumbed to the lava....
