U.S. Geological Survey Wednesday, November 5, 2014 7:43 PM AKST (Thursday, November 6, 2014 04:43 UTC)
KILAUEA VOLCANO (VNUM #332010)
19°25'16" N 155°17'13" W, Summit Elevation 4091 ft (1247 m)
Current Volcano Alert Level: WARNING
Current Aviation Color Code: ORANGE
Scientists of the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory conducted an overflight of the June 27th lava flow in the early afternoon on Wednesday, November 5, 2014. The leading edge of the flow has not advanced since last Thursday, October 30, but minor breakouts were observed upslope of the flow tip just below and above of Apa`a Street. The most significant (although still minor) breakout was located on about 2.5 km (1.5 miles) above Apa`a Street.
Two small breakouts were also observed upslope of the crack system. The lava level in a lava-tube skylight on the flank of Pu`u `Ō`Šsuggests lava discharge remains relatively low.
There was no net summit deformation throughout Wednesday.
Daily updates about KÄ«lauea's ongoing eruptions, recent images and videos of summit and East Rift Zone volcanic activity, and data about recent earthquakes are posted on the HVO Web site at http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov.
A helicopter overflight of the entire flow field is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon. A daily update will be posted in the morning, and status reports will be issued as new information becomes available. Updates are posted at http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/activity/kilaueastatus.php.
