6 feet? 350 degrees F? I don't know how much is it but I'm glad that you didn't get burns. :))

I don't want to imagine what the lava feels like to the touch

@hustletoparadise. lmao I doubt you would be around long enough to find out.
Ask the Residents of Pompeii !!

Luckily, the volcanic flow on Big Island is nice and slow. So it gives residents several days to prepare and plan ahead in case the flow will take over homes/businesses. It happened once back in Sept 2014 when the flow almost went into Pahoa town. It kept the town on edge for many many months, until the flow reached the town center just by a few feet. They say the volcanic goddess Pele decided to spare the town.
