Mauna Loa Observatory (MLO) is located on the north slope of Mauna Loa at an altitude of 11,100 feet. Today the new eruption sent lava across the access road. This made MLO inaccessible by vehicle. The lava also cut power to MLO. This last occurred in 1984. https://t.co/oF6PQt8WKK

Why are science tweets to me responding with: "Sorry, that page doesn't exist!" These are perfectly innocent tweets about atmospheric aerosols, volcano eruptions, etc.

The lava river from Kilauea's vent 8 near Pahoa, Hawaii, creates a sky glow visible for considerable distance. This photo was made about a mile from the lava on Aug 2, 2018. https://t.co/8QCicj0KJp

Minnie and I were married 50 years ago tomorrow (June 15, 1968). She was a secretary at the Air Force Weapons Lab where I was assigned after Vietnam. MITS (Altair 8800>>Microsoft) was started in 1969, and Minnie typed all the instruction manuals. https://t.co/uTTDyJTmFv
