New up close video of the Hawaiian #punalavaflow released by the County of Hawaii.
The new outbreak of lava is coming from a volcanic fissure which opened on the flanks of Pu'u' O'o crater (part of the Kilauea volcanic complex), the newest flow has been moving up to 250 yards per day towards the Northeast -- and is heading in the general direction of the town of Pahoa, Hawaii marketplace.
Currently the flow is less than 1 mile North of Pahoa.
