The main flow was spread out over a large area, so the front was moving very slow and a person could easily walk a lot faster than the flow was moving. The flow shown in the video was a small offshoot from the main flow and was moving about five to ten feet per minute.
It's lava. Go to the smugmug link on the video description. There are six better photos on the 2003 gallery dated May 14, 2003. The dates are on the caption description and they are dated sequentially.
Slow moving lava like this forms a silvery crust almost immediately, so you will mostly see the orange liquid as it advances.
I have never heard of mud flows in Kilauea. It's a young volcano with gentle slopes and no streams or lakes. Rain soaks into the porous ground almost immediately.
thats hot.

I take it it's not as hot as Ithought because there's whole tree's trunks surrounded in lava but they're like, not exploding into flames.
