Are any of the big Hawaiian telescopes threatened by the volcano? May 7, 2018 11:24 am ER

I know the telescope farm is atop an extinct volcano and is not near lava or fire, but there have been lots of quakes, and big ‘scopes and their mountings and associated equipment are vulnerable to earth movement and vibration. Also, how about access roads and support facilities scattered throughout the Big Island?
