That's probably only 6 hours or so of eruption? It practically stopped after the first day.

I was watching the webcams, you could see it approaching the first road, cross it and the a single digger putting some minor blocks in, then starting to block the gap in the power plant wall.

It looked really close on the webcam, but I think that when they build the earth banks they deliberately dug ditches to redirect it away. Speedy lava though!

Do you have a link, is it still active?

It was this channel - they have loads of streams.

Doesn't look like they have a VoD up for this eruption yet though.

Here are some (poor) photos I took of the stream. (Didn't have access to the keyboard easily to take a screenshot)
