Breaking News From Hawaii Island: Lava fissure and fountain opens in neighborhood

[BoomerD]

Which island is 'Hawaii Island'?

I know I can Google it, but I figure it's good to have it answered here.

And I'm too busy and/or lazy to search.

The island of Hawaii, often called the big island.

Should we REALLY confuse him and tell him it’s also “Hawaii County?”

Clearly the devil needed to get to earth's surface in order to re-unite with Donald Trump

Now I see reports of a magnitude 5.5 earthquake and an eruption.

Q-tips for sure. Quakes are up to magnitude 6.9 now and power is out in many places.

Up to seven fissures now open in the area. Looks like things are ramping up instead of cooling down. I hope folks over there are all cleared out by now. Good thing is still no lives lost thanks to slow moving lava.

Yesterday one of the reports said the lava lake in the Kilauea crater had drained. That lava had to go somewhere.

Geologists said the current seismic activities around Puna most closely resemble the events that precipitated a 1955 eruption, according to Hawaii News Now. That eruption lasted about three months and left almost 4,000 acres of land covered in lava, the news site reported.

Note to news anchors and reporters: when there is a volcano erupting, nobody wants to see video of your face.

Note to volcano watchers: When you've seen one volcano eruption, you've seen them all.

Would love if would leave out the 1/4 of the screen banners when they run video. They were showing it crawling down the road saying looks at it on the road all I saw was freaking banners!

The volcano means no harm.

Here's a question I didn't see addressed: What are those new fissures going to do to homeowners whose houses were not destroyed? Since future eruptions tend to follow past eruptions those neighborhoods are now hot spots where nobody is going to be able to live even if this outbreak stops without getting worse. Leaving near a volcano is one thing, living directly on top of an active fissure is quite another. I know people in volcano zones pay a hefty premium on their insurance and their houses will be covered if lost. Are their houses covered if not destroyed, but devalued to essentially zero? Are people whose houses were lost able to recoup their actual property value for their lots being inhabitable or will they only get what the physical house replacement value is and lose the equity in the property itself?

Anyone here from Hawaii that carries volcano insurance on their homes that can shed some light on this?

 

[Puffnstuff]

Man that volcano is really raising hell now with steam explosions throwing hot lava miles into the air.

[Puffnstuff]

The volcano isn't showing any signs of letting up with even more fissures opening and more roads being destroyed in the process. More people having to be air lifted out because the roads have been blocked by the lava flow.

And if anyone is curious there's a live stream of the flow.

I never had a favorite youtuber before but I think I have one now with "Physics Girl", just stumbled upon her video while googling up what and how about this phenomena.

Wait a minute, I havent booked a holiday trip yet ... I am thinking there may be deals to be made from panicking tourists abandoning their trips? Gonna look into that .
