Lava Enters Pahoa Transfer Station Property

The lava flow creeping through Pahoa has breached the fence line of the Pahoa Transfer Station and is now moving down a driveway around the perimeter of the property.  

Officials say the finger of lava measures about 12 feet long and two to three feet wide.  All hazardous materials were removed from the transfer station weeks ago.  

On Monday the lava set fire to the first house in its path.  That flow remains active and is less than two feet from a barn and garage on the property.  Light westerly winds moved smoke into Pahoa for a few hours, but cleared later in the day.  Hawaii County Civil Defense Director Darryl Oliveira says no people are in any immediate danger and his team is continuing to alert residents down slope from the flow. 

Nick Yee’s passion for music developed at an early age, as he collected jazz and rock records pulled from dusty locations while growing up in both Southern California and Honolulu. In college he started DJing around Honolulu, playing Jazz and Bossa Nova sets at various lounges and clubs under the name dj mr.nick. He started to incorporate Downtempo, House and Breaks into his sets as his popularity grew, eventually getting DJ residences at different Chinatown locations. To this day, he is a fixture in the Honolulu underground club scene, where his live sets are famous for being able to link musical and cultural boundaries, starting mellow and building the audience into a frenzy while steering free of mainstream clichés.
