Fissure 8 continues to be very active and is feeding a lava channel to the ocean at
Kapoho, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said Wednesday. The flow is expanding
south along the shoreline and is also oozing fresh lava at Kapoho Beach Lots.
Gas emissions from the fissure eruption and laze at the ocean entry continue to
be very high. Due to active lava near houses in Kapoho, access by residents is not
allowed. No additional houses have been destroyed.
