[Rockhounds] Ongoing Eruptions

[Axel Emmermann]

Yeah, but I wouldn't trust the situation.
These lava flows create their own bed... They run within a kind of "walls"
that are made of cooled lava. If one of those collapse where your house is
you may have literally seconds to get to safety. I wouldn't sleep there.

At dinner tonight we fell to talking with some folks at another table.  One
of the guys has (emphasis on HAS) a house right near the flows.  Luckily, he
is high enough (for now) to be cleared.  He showed us some amazing photos
and videos that he took.  It's one thing to see postings in facebook and the
like.  It's a whole different thing when a guy is showing you HIS phone with
pictures he took on his street.

Thanks for sharing this summary-video, Gary.
It is indeed perhaps one of the most interesting moments to visit Hawai'i,
but for the people who lost their house it's sad.
But indeed, panic would be very bad for the tourism on your island.
People abroad are mostly very poorly informed about the real level of danger
in a country.
The same is valid for e.g. Guatemala, South-Africa... and...
Belgium/Brussels :>))

Grts,
