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?

We just sat down with the boy a week or two ago and did some learnin'. This was our subject for the day.
Edit: I have only ever been on one volcano. Nevado de Toluca in Mexico. We drove up there to see the lake after working at the Chrysler PT assembly plant. I have pics, but they are pre digital and in a shoe box somewhere.

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.

Every location has it's issues/challenges. You have apparently been blessed.
Says California every day. It is actually not earthquakes, it is homeless people poop!
California has many challenges. One of the biggest is the major population centers are overwhelmed with Liberals. And, there are natural/environmental issues. One can only hope they figure out which is the greater threat. It is, what it is.
I want to know if the EPA is going to screw with Hawaii for pollution levels. I remember a bunch of years ago when we had "fire season" also known as summer, that we would have more restrictions due to x amount of days of unhealthy air. The path the air moves here, one day the air was so bad I could not see the house across the street and I understood the fire was in Oregon.
Sacrifice a young female virgin to the "lava" gods?
Maybe someone in the Hawaii state government with that responsibility has let that deadline lapse. An "unpaid bill."
But they (virgins), not a plentiful commodity these days. Maybe the Hawaii state volcano department administrator is still trying to locate and recruit one.

You probably meet the qualifications. Why don't you volunteer?
"At least 99 people are dead and 197 are still missing after Guatemala’s Fuego volcano erupted on Sunday, sending lava flows into nearby rural communities and spewing ash over people and towns. It was the country’s most deadly volcanic event in more than a century. Only 23 of the victims have been identified at this point...." http://time.com/5300139/gua...h-toll/?xid=homepage
