Latest on Kilauea lava flow threat as of Monday, November 10 at 12:00 p.m.

The current assessment shows that the flow front remains stalled with very little activity and has not advanced. The front remains approximately 480 feet from the Pahoa Village Road. An upslope breakout in the area of Apa’a Street near the cemetery had entered a private property yesterday morning and at approximately 11:55 this morning, the residential structure or house was ignited by the advancing flow. Emergency personnel are on scene and there is not threat to any other properties at this time. Smoke from the burning structure is currently rising and dissipating.

Smoke conditions are currently moderate to heavy with light trade winds blowing the smoke in a south southwest direction towards the Leilani and lower Puna areas. Smoke conditions may increase in some areas and residents down wind that may be sensitive or have respiratory problems are advised to take necessary precautions and to remain indoors.

The evacuation advisory for those residents down slope of the flow will continue and residents will be kept informed of the flow status and advancement.
