HONOLULU (AP) _ Lava from Kilauea volcano is again threatening an all-but-abandoned subdivision on the volcano's slopes.
Geologists at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory say a new flow is entering the Royal Gardens subdivision.
Most homes in the area have been abandoned or were destroyed in previous lava flows from the volcano that has been slowly erupting for more than 25 years.
Geologist Tim Orr says he flew over the area Monday and the remaining two occupied homes in the area do not appear to be threatened.
He says the flow has been following a path along Royal Avenue, about 450 yards from the nearest occupied house.
