00:00:09.840 --> 00:00:11.060
Good morning.

00:00:11.060 --> 00:00:14.360
This is the HVO Kilauea update for June 7.

00:00:14.360 --> 00:00:19.700
In the Lower East Rift Zone, lava fountaining
continues at fissure 8, with fountain heights

00:00:19.700 --> 00:00:22.340
of 130 - 210 feet.

00:00:22.340 --> 00:00:31.250
It continues to feed a lava flow channel through
the Kapoho area with an ocean entry in the

00:00:31.250 --> 00:00:32.660
Vacationlands subdivision area.

00:00:32.660 --> 00:00:37.800
It is still producing a vigorous steam and
laze plume that, depending on wind direction,

00:00:37.800 --> 00:00:40.000
has been blown to the southwest.

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:45.610
We remind you that laze, or lava haze, is
a localized hazard and will not travel far

00:00:45.610 --> 00:00:47.010
downwind.

00:00:47.010 --> 00:00:51.739
The northern lobe of the fissure 8 flow has
stalled, although there is some incandescence

00:00:51.739 --> 00:00:56.489
in the finger of that lobe that advanced into
a low graben (or depression) several nights

00:00:56.489 --> 00:01:02.370
ago.

00:01:02.370 --> 00:01:04.640
No other fissures are active at this time.

00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:08.600
Pele’s hair and other lightweight volcanic
glass fragments are accumulating in the Leilani

00:01:08.600 --> 00:01:13.340
Estates subdivision, and strong winds may
blow those particles farther from the area.

00:01:13.340 --> 00:01:17.289
Because these are glass particles and could
cause skin and eye irritation, you should

00:01:17.289 --> 00:01:19.979
minimize contact with them.

00:01:19.979 --> 00:01:26.430
At the summit, a small explosion, with energy
equivalent to a M5.6 earthquake, occurred

00:01:26.430 --> 00:01:32.270
at 4:07 PM yesterday and created an ash plume
that rose to a height of 10,000 feet.

00:01:32.270 --> 00:01:38.510
Seismicity dropped after the explosion, but
can be expected to increase again until the

00:01:38.510 --> 00:01:41.710
next explosion.

00:01:41.710 --> 00:01:46.679
Slumping of the rim and walls of Halema’uma’u
Crater continues in response to the ongoing

00:01:46.679 --> 00:01:48.789
summit subsidence.

00:01:48.789 --> 00:01:52.840
Vog emissions from the summit and fissures
remain high and in the next several days wind

00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:57.290
may bring vog not only the south and west
sides of the island, but to the interior as

00:01:57.290 --> 00:01:58.209
well.
