NEWS BRIEF

• Hawaii County Civil Defense answered media questions during a conference call on Wednesday. The focus is currently on a lava breakout that has been advancing about 90 yards per day along the southeast edge of the flow front, and has overtaken the former leading edge of the flow.

INSIGHTS

New overflight video by Ena Media Hawaii aboard Blue Hawaiian Helicopters illustrates the proximity of the advancing lava flow to Apa’a Street and the Pahoa Transfer Station, a mere 0.6 miles away, officials say. Today’s conference call also included a discussion on the U.S Small Business Administration disaster declaration for Hurricane / Tropical Storm Iselle. Big Island Video News will have more on that shortly.
