The lower east rift zone (Fissure 8) has also slowed to a crawl and can be argued that it completely stopped. The earthquakes have almost all but stopped, however the So2 levels in Pu u Oo volcano have drastically risen in the last few days, from "150 tons per day to more than 1000 tons per day of So2, which is more output of So2 from Pu u Oo in the last 10 years."
