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.

A gold tree on the University of Hawaii at Manoa campus was in full bloom Wednesday. The scientific name of the tree is Tabebuia Donnell Smithii. Dr. William Hillebrand, the first chief physician at The Queen's Medical Center and personal physician to Kamehameha V, is credited with introducing the tree to Hawaii before 1871. It was adopted as a reforestation tree but soon became popular in landscaping.
