Re: Kilauea Erupting
It's a very fascinating and dramatic thing to see. Most of this activity is because one of the downhill craters Pu'u O'o collapsed. Think of a pot of boiling sauce; the heat causes it to expand and push upwards where it bubbles/cools it falls back down pushing the sauce outward in concentric circles. This is what is happening, but since it is pushing outward underground, new cracks are forming, allowing the magma to push up and out of the cracks.Re: Kilauea Erupting
The lava has now taken five homes, more likely. People have been frantically packing up.Re: Kilauea Erupting
Re: Kilauea Erupting
Mags, it is an interesting location and group of locals who are fiercely independent, and not unfamiliar with the risks of living near a volcanic flow, but after thirty years, I suppose they thought it wouldn't happen to them. Several of the houses were on the VRBO rental programs and some visitors were frustrated about having to leave.Thread Tools | |
