July 13 (UPI) -- Lava from Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano overtook a school and park this week, bringing the total number of destroyed structures since May to more than 700, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
Ten weeks after eruptions began at the volcano on Hawaii's Big Island, Fissure 8 was still pouring lava into a channel heading toward the ocean. USGS' Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said lava from the fissure overflowed Wednesday and diverted into a separate channel, destroying the Kua O Ka La Charter School and Ahalanui Count Beach Park before entering the ocean Thursday.
