Hawaii Lava Flow Approaching Homes

Volcano

Hawaiian residents in the path of a lava flow must be prepared to evacuate in the coming days as the 2,000-degree Fahrenheit molten rock nears their homes.

The flow is currently moving at a rate of approximately 15 to 20 yards an hour toward the town of Pahoa, in a rural region of the Big Island of Hawaii, according to the Hawaii County's website.
