Looking at the map, I think it's actually not that far from him (maybe 2 miles?) -- I think he's outside of the "rift" zone but in the potential lava flow area (though I guess technically all of that side of Hawaii is in a potential lava flow area).  Hope things are ok, Oscar!

Luisport:
a 3rd fissure has now started erupting nearby to the second fissure which started overnight.

Hopefully Oscar is ok.  It sounds like there have been no casualties or homes lost so far.  Pahoa town has not been evacuated, in fact, people are being evacuated to Pahoa.  I think sometimes "Pahoa" is used generically to refer to the region and can be misleading.
