Hawaii volcano still going strong........

[VenomJockey]

More mandatory evacuations, and the volcano shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

Excerpt: "HAWAII’s volcano has cut off access to Kapoho and Vacationland on the Big Island as violent lava eruptions from Mount Kilauea continue to devastate Leilani Estates and Lanipuna Gardens."

If you build / buy on a volcano. I sure hope you were smart enough to have volcano insurance. The volcano being active was not a state secrete.

 

[jimLE]

The thing about the Hawaii island.there's area's the insurance companies wont insure.simply because the property is to close to active volcanoes.

Well, over 80 homes destroyed so far...hey, let's go build our home on a volcano, it'll never erupt!!

 

[jimLE]

I want that volcano over there --->

 

[Caribou]

I was in HI in the 80's for an eruption. I saw several homes loaded on trailers and being hauled away.

I guess if your are going to build your house on an active volcano, then being able to move it, would be a REAL GOOD idea.

To me it is the same as building on the Oceans land - Beach. You can live there but you accept that you are at the mercy of the Ocean/Volcano.

Whether it is tornado alley, hurricane beaches, fire corridors, Tsunami areas, flood plains or earthquake areas, people always want to live there for the beauty or weather.
I chose a place with none of those.

 

[jimLE]

There's places that have ALL the beauty i need.and without all of the above post.

What planet did you move to?

 

[TMT Tactical]

What planet did you move to?

Arizona> No earthquakes, hurricanes, fire corridors (my part of Arizona) flood plains, and certainly NO Tsunami's.

How boring! Why do you even prep?

We still got liberal neighbors and their cause and effect. Every time I travel to Komifornia, I look for places to make road blocks and stop the invading illegals from Komifornia after it collapses. There is one very deep ravine with a long bridge that would form a perfect road block, unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) it is on the wrong side of the border. We do have a nice mountain pass that wold act as a very good choke point, If Komifornia ever becomes it's own (worst enemy) nation. The problem is the economy, even beautiful Arizona, relies on other states for food and other necessities.

That would be a disaster.

That would be a disaster.

What part? Komifornia becoming it's own country? Barricading a bridge in Komifornia or the choke point in Arizona?

Build on an active volcano in Hawaii or below sea level in New Orleans or on the outer banks of the east coast or on a flood plain in North Carolina, what could go wrong?

Daily updated map of currently erupting and restless volcanoes... for anyone interested in a daily static map... https://www.volcanodiscovery.com/daily-map-of-active-volcanoes.html

 

[VenomJockey]

Evidently Monday night the volcano really went to town, huge explosion, HUNDREDS of homes destroyed they are reporting.

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/06/0...s-as-explosion-spews-toxic-ash-mile-high.html

Excerpt: "PUNA, Hawaii – Lava from Hawaii’s Kilauea destroyed hundreds of homes overnight, a Hawaii County spokeswoman revealed Tuesday. The grim update came as an explosion caused the volcano to spew toxic ash and rubble nearly a mile into the air and triggered a 5.5-magnitude earthquake."

@VenomJockey How much of Hawaii is the volcano affecting?

 

[CrackbottomLouis]

Loving all the common sense. Tired of hearing about those "poor folks whose homes are being destroyed" when they are the ones that built a home right on an active volcano. Wont fix stupid though. As soon as they are able new homes will be built in the exact same spot because "it just erupted, it wont happen again anytime soon". Of course, that's really not how that works but ok.

Or built in a flood plan or below sea level or same lot after another mud slide...

@VenomJockey How much of Hawaii is the volcano affecting?

Apparently about 20% and several high end subdivisions are included. The mayor lost his home Monday.

So you are in North Dakota?

We are real good folks, we like to send folks presents. Never ask they be returned. If AZ sends you an earthquake you are free to enjoy and tell all your friends how much fun it was. I always enjoyed my earthquakes when I lived in Komifornia, I just figured everybody enjoyed them. you really can't fault (pun fun) us for sharing.

Hawaii eruption getting worse.....http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/06/0...a-as-scientists-say-worst-is-yet-to-come.html


Excerpt: "Though the full extent of the destruction is hard to tell, Steve Brantley, the deputy scientist-in-charge at the U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, told residents late Tuesday at a community meeting. He also said the worst may still be ahead.

On May 3, Kilauea began shooting ash plumes 30,000 feet into the air. Thick waves of lava seeped from fissures in the ground, destroying homes, choking off escape routes and knocking out power before creeping its way toward the ocean. As it hit the blue waters of the Pacific, it created a dangerous steam laced with hydrochloric acid and fine glass.

At least seven people have been hurt, including three government workers, Hawaii County officials said Wednesday."

Hawaii's home destruction now over 400, 20' walls of lava completely destroy Vacationland, no traces of homes left!!!

http://www.foxnews.com/science/2018...-big-island-as-lava-continues-fiery-path.html

Excerpt: "PAHOA, Hawaii – Hawaii’s governor and federal emergency management officials were expected to travel to the Big Island on Thursday to discuss how to assist hundreds of residents displaced by the fiery eruption of Kilauea.
In the past month, more than 400 homes and other structures have been obliterated as the volcano's hot magma has poured through neighborhood after neighborhood, torching everything in its path.
Volcanologists say a river of molten rock upwards of 20 feet tall tore through the Kapoho Beach Lots and Vacationland.
“Vacationland is gone, there's no evidence of any properties there at all," Wendy Stovall, a volcanologist with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), told reporters on a conference call. "

My goodness! What a shame and the air is not good to keep breathing either.
