A final phase of evacuation in Hawaii was carried out on Friday night and early Saturday by fire and police personnel before lava cut off all road access to the area.
A 100m stream of lava flowed over a highway leaving 500 homes in the Kapoho and the development of vacationland, cut off from the rest of the island.
County Civil Defence spokeswoman Janet Synder said it’s not clear how many residents, if any, chose to stay behind.
