Question:
"How close did it make it to Saddle road?"

Answer:
"The closest lava reached is still about 1.7 mi from Saddle Road. The middle part of that flow is still hot and a bit higher in the middle than the edges. It will creep a bit closer as the hot insides push outward as the flow settles. Saddle Road is no longer in imminent danger."

"Significant #MaunaLoaErupts change overnight.
*Fissure 3 eruption has reduced supply of lava.
*Flow moving toward #SaddleRoad stalled.
*Lava overtopping channels near vent & flowing no more than 2.5 mi.
*Lava channels below this point appear drained."
