Lava from a volcano in Hawaii, which has been erupting since June, is now only 805 meters from the main streets of Pahoa village, authorities said Monday.
The flaming wall of magma advanced about 230 meters in just one day on the big island over the weekend, authorities said.
A civil defense official told reporters that the nearest home was at least 275 meters from the flow front. Residents said they could see the lava threatening Pahoa Village Road from their homes, and were ready to evacuate.
