Well the quarry is full of cooling lava. I can't see them managing to restart using it as the lava with take a long long long time to cool down. They managed to build the barriers up a bit where it looked live the lava would over top. With absence of a new flow things look okay for now however if the eruption continues it's only a matter of time before another flow comes that way. At the moment the eruption rate is probably two low to be a real threat however land is slowly rising so output is less than input so the eruption could build up again a little or could even shift if the present vents aren't enough to relieve the building pressure which we've seen happen before. Of course it could all stop and we got back to the old routine.
Looks liek most of the GPS stations are showing a fairly steady output which suggests outflow is now matching inflow. Could mean a longish eruption. Did see some more lava make it way down to the barriers this morning. By day you can't see anything perhaps drone coverage or night will reveal more ad how it's effecting the barriers i.e getting ready to overtop.
Still going this morning this morning. Volcano one experts nil.
Looks like inflow into the chamber is greater than whats being erupted as land is still rising.
Okay the gps on this map are only updating the date stamps.

However the 8 hour ones are updating which are beginning to show a possible reinflation which means that possibly magma coming in is greater than than what's being drawn out. If so this come mean a longer eruption that expected. Just checked the four hour ones and inflation has resumed.
