I'm sure you've seen on your local news about the big collapse on New Year's Eve. The delta --previously formed by this flow-- collapsed (20 acres worth) and a section of the cliff (the exact spot where I was standing last summer) also fell away. Luckily, no one was close enough to get hurt.
This collapse exposed the lava tube, which is frequently described as a fire hose. So the lava is no longer oozing out (as shown in my previous videos). It's GUSHING in the most amazing way.
This is what it looked like earlier this week:

Turn on sound if you can. The geologist who narrates is very good.Aloha!
