The June 27 lava flow remained quiet around Pahoa on Monday morning with the closest surface flows occurring 6 miles upslope of Apa‘a Street, according to Hawaii County Civil Defense.

No surface activity was visible below the crack system upslope of Kaohe Homesteads.

“Although no activity was observed downslope of the crack system, numerous surface breakouts and flows were noticed in the areas from the vent to the crack system indicating lava remains in the system,” Civil Defense said.

According to HVO, a new breakout began about 1 mile northeast of Pu‘u ‘O‘o over the weekend. That breakout remains active.
