...second outbreak from a 6,000-ft.-wide fissure farther down the mountain kept stoking the 2,000° F flow. For a while, one stream crept toward the isolated, minimum-security Kulani prison camp. For almost three hours, 20 guards and 75 prisoners were without electricity after power was cut off to be rerouted to other areas affected by the lava flow.
