Kapoho, Hawaii
Kapoho, Hawaii was a town in Puna district, Hawaii County, Hawaii, located near the eastern tip of the island of Hawaii, in the easternmost end of the graben overlying Kīlauea's east rift zone.
==Eruption of January 1960==
On January 12, 1960 residents of Kapoho experienced over 1000 small earthquakes shaking the area.〔(Early warning signs )〕 Deep cracks opened up in the street, and there are historic photos of residents inspecting the damage.〔(Photo of cracks prior to eruption. )〕
The eruption began on the night of the 13th, spilling lava out in the middle of a sugar cane field just above Kapoho. Although the main flow of lava flowed into the ocean, a slow-moving offshoot crept towards the town of Kapoho. Despite frantic efforts to divert the flow with earthen barricades or to harden it by spraying water on it, on January 28 the flow entered and buried the town. Nearly 100 homes and businesses as well as a hot spring resort were destroyed. The Cape Kumukahi Light east of the town was spared and continues in operation, but the keeper's dwellings were destroyed.
