KALAPANA, Hawaii — A river of lava flowing from the Kilauea Volcano destroyed another house today and seemed certain to engulf the rest of a deserted subdivision.
Residents, tourists and reporters have gathered in Kalapana, a beautiful coastal community on the big island of Hawaii, to watch the town’s last days. The 2,000-foot-wide lava flow claimed two houses Monday, and today’s casualty brought the total to 122 since Kilauea began its current eruption in 1983.
