US-HAWAII-VOLCANO
This October 27, 2014 annotated image provided by the US Geological Survey(USGS) shows the lava flow eminating from the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii moving through thick vegetation near the Pahoa cemetery. Smoldering lava from a slow-erupting volcano has reached within yards (several meters) of homes on Hawaii's Big Island, emergency officials said October 27 as villagers braced to evacuate. The lava flow from the Kilauea volcano has been threatening nearby homes for weeks, and was 100 yards (91 meters) from the nearest house by early Monday. The lava front was moving at between 10-15 yards (9-14 m) an hour. "Based on the current flow location, direction and advancement, residents in the flow path were placed on an evacuation advisory," said the County of Hawaii's Civil Defense force in an online update.
