5/4/18- "HONOLULU -- Nearly 1,500 residents were ordered to evacuate after Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano erupted. The eruption sent molten lava to chew its way through forest land and bubble up on paved streets. Volcano officials said they couldn't predict how long the eruption might last. That prompted Gov. David Ige to declare a state of emergency in affected areas, activate the National Guard to help with evacuations and provide security to about 770 structures left empty when residents sought shelter. Hawaii County officials said steam and lava poured out of a crack in Leilani Estates, which is near the town of Pahoa on the Big Island. There were no immediate reports of injuries. Footage shown on local television showed lava spurting into the sky from a crack in a road. Aerial drone footage showed a line of lava snaking through a forest. CBS Honolulu affiliate KGMB-TV reported lava was shooting some 100 feet in the air and nearing several homes. Fire officials detected extremely high levels of dangerous sulfur dioxide in the air, the stations said. Resident Jeremiah Osuna captured drone footage of the lava burning through the trees, a scene he described as a "curtain of fire." "It sounded like if you were to put a bunch of rocks into a dryer and turn it on as high as you could. You could just smell sulfur and burning trees and underbrush and stuff," he told Honolulu television station KHON." https://www.cbsnews.com/new...-05-04-live-updates/
I've never seen or been around an active volcano in person, anyone here has?[This message has been edited by 2.5 (edited 05-04-2018).]

Even paradise has it's issues.
Regardless of where we decide to call home, every location has it's challenges.

Ron, let's leave women out of this.
Actually, my spot on Earth is / has been, challenge free. The 100 year flood ? The five hundred year flood ? I got muddy shoes. Many around me got wiped out.
No mud slides, wild fires, tornadoes, only one hurricane. 160 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. All it did was fill up our lake, . Well, that did produce the 100 year flood, which didn't affect me. To me, that was a great event. My lake got full and I saw neighbors come together and assist each other.

Ron, for the second time, let's leave my wife out of this, .
Blessed, or lucky. Perhaps wise ? We deserve our blessings and make our luck. Though even the unlucky get lucky sometimes.
