There is danger in paradise! Tourists and visitors on Hawaii that had recently visited the Volcano National Park got a taste of restrictions in place due to a dangerous lava flow on that part of the Island of Hawaii.
On June 27 the Big Island was confronted by lava flow threatening communities on the Hawaii Island. After the Hawaii County mayor declared an emergency yesterday, the Governor of the State of Hawaii today stepped in and issued the following proclamation in anticipation of lava flow crossing highway 130. On Wednesday the lava flow front emerged again from a ground crack and continued to advance eastward.
