Tuesday, October 28, 2014, 4:20 PM - Lava that's 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit is threatening a town on Hawaii's Big Island.
The lava is moving through towards the community of Pahoa -- which has a population around 950 -- and so far, it has engulfed a cemetery.
Authorities have reported the flow is moving 10 to 15 yards per hour.
According to CNN, the lava is burning through thick bush as "swallowing up" fences.

While the lava may not hit homes or businesses, it could leave some people stranded.
The event that triggered the lava flow started in June. It picked up speed over the weekend, advancing 275 yards between Sunday and Monday.
Officials from the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory say Kilauea is still erupting and there's "no end it sight" to the flow's advance.
