He warned, however, that so long as the lava fountain on the southwest rim is active, there is potential danger of continued more active or extensive flows. tt a The volcanologist said another fountain observed earlier at the northern extremity of the cauldera had ceased activity during the night, virtually eliminating the possibility of a flow toward Hilo. 11 MILES FROM ROAD The flow which started Thursday in a course due west from the summit had reached an elevation of about 7.00.0 feet, about 12 to 14 miles above Mamalohoa highway.

The highway in the Honaunau district is located about 1.000 feet above the beach and about two miles from the main City of Refuge. tt tt Neither the highway nor the villages in the vicinity of Honaunau were reportedly in any immediate danger. Residents had been alerted, however, to be prepared to evacuate and some residents had already moved out to take refuge at Kona-waena hich school and in the home? of friends and relatives.
