Scientists of the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory conducted an overflight of the June 27th lava flow earlier today, November 14, 2014. A few small breakouts were active below Apa`a St./Cemetery Rd., a short distance north of the cemetery. The closest active breakouts to Pāhoa Village Road were approximately 700 meters (0.4 miles) upslope of the road.
The majority of breakouts were active upslope of Apa`a St./Cemetery Rd. Breakouts remained active in a lobe that is upslope of the transfer station, and the leading tip of this lobe was 230 meters (250 yards) upslope of Apa`a St. This lobe has advanced about 100 m (110 yds) over the past day, and widened about 80 m (90 yd) towards the east. Additional breakouts were active up to 2.7 km (1.7 miles) upslope of Apa`a St.
A breakout was also active about 5 km (3 mi) downslope from Puʻu ʻŌʻō.
