In early June 2018 , the subdivision was cut off from the rest of the island by lava from the 2018 lower Puna eruption . Electric power , cell phone service and roads in and out of the development were impacted by lava from Kīlauea , a many miles-long flow of molten rock originating from Leilani Estates . The subdivision included a home owned by Hawaii Island Mayor Harry Kim . An unknown number of homes were destroyed by the lava on June 4 , but the majority were still standing
