People on Hawaii's largest island are preparing for molten lava coming from the Mauna Loa volcano to flow across the island's main highway, blocking the fastest route from one side of the island to the other, according to reports.

Molten lava flowing from volcano on Hawaii's Big Island threatens to block the island's main highwayThe volcano, located on Hawaii's Big Island, has not erupted since 1984 when it emitted lava for over three weeks. Lava from the Mauna Loa volcano could cross the highway sometime next week.

. The island is nearly twice as big as the state's other two islands and is colloquially known as the"Big Island." Frank Manley, a licensed practical nurse, told the AP that his commute to work is already one hour and 45 minutes each way to and from work on the highway. If the highway is blocked, it could add hours to work commute, doctors visits, and deliveries, the AP reported.
