UPDATE: 11 P.M.

Lava has crossed Highway 137 at the 13-mile marker and has entered the ocean, according to Hawaii County Civil Defense. A second lava flow is about 437 yards from the highway.

Highway 137 is closed between Kamaili Road and Pohoiki Road. Kamaili Road is closed between Highways 130 and 137.

Residents in the area have been evacuated and the public is asked to stay out of the area, Civil Defense officials said.

The lava has entered the ocean and the public should be aware of the laze hazard and stay away from any ocean plume, they said.

Laze is formed when hot lava hits the ocean sending hydrochloric acid and steam with fine glass particles into the air.Health hazards of laze include lung, eye and skin irritation. The laze plume travels with the wind and can change direction without warning, according to Civil Defense.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.
