Description

The sluggish advance of lava from Hawaii's Kilauea volcano has slowed nearly to a halt.

Officials say it hasn't advanced since last Thursday.

But they say the flow is continuing to inflate and lava has broken through in some spots.

It's moving slowly enough to allow power company teams to relocate electrical poles -- hopefully out of harm's way.

So far the lava flow has spared the homes in village of Pahoa.

But it's buried some roads and encased the tombstones of a local cemetery.
