Could the Big Island of Hawaii become uninhabitable?
While BS stories all about hating the POTUS are dominating the news, the severity of Hawaii's volcanic eruption is not receiving the coverage it deserves. I realize that there is coverage but it is sporadic and minimal at best.
It continues to worsen, grow in severity and shows no signs of stopping. I know this is a far fetched prediction but what if the Big Island of Hawaii deteriorates so bad that the island becomes uninhabitable? Where do these people go? How much tourism is lost? How does that affect the rest of the islands and the ability to get insurance? Will prices rise 20-40% across the rest of the islands? This thing is getting worse not better and I don't think people are realizing the severity of it. Am I wrong??? Ring of fire has gotten a lot of plate movement in the last 5-7 years. https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/18/us/ha...tes/index.html |

It's good to put on a good face, but I can hear the fear in your voice.

This is no worse than the lava flow that occurred in the late 80s with that volcano. It's not going to make the entire ****ing island uninhabitable. |

Until it stops we won't know. That's why splatbass is freaking out.

Legacy of a leper colony? Actually it's good that they keep a cap on development so that all of the other Islands don't end up like a Oahu.

You are referring to Barry (Barack Obama) Soetoro correct ? That is supposedly the state where he was born. I'm sure Barry is doing all he can to provide relief efforts there.

What if the Yellowstone super volcano erupts? We're technically "past due" for that, aren't we?

I've got about 4 tons of Volcanic glass (Absidian) at my rockyard all in bowling ball size pieces. I have another truck load of boulders coming next week from Colorado and it's supposed to have a couple more about 2000 pounds each.

There you go, splatbass. Look on the bright side. Sure you might soon be wiped out by a lava flow or buried in ash. But if you make it, you could end up with a heckuva rock garden. God bless.
