NATION : 82nd Hawaii Home Falls to Lava
Lava from Kilauea Volcano torched another Hawaii Island home today, the 82nd destroyed during its current eruption, and continued moving toward other dwellings in its path, authorities said.
A house in Kalapana Gardens Subdivision was ignited about 3:30 a.m. today, less than 12 hours after another home a short distance away burned down, said Bruce Butts of the Hawaii County Civil Defense Agency.
The flow is moving toward another home about 350 feet away, Butts said.
The lava is coming from the north and following the path of another flow that destroyed two homes April 4. In all, the volcano has destroyed six homes in the Kalapana area this month.
