Thanks ericlp-
It's a good read, with a varied cross section of Puna residents describing the effect the lava flow had on them. And continues to have on them.

Thanks for sharing. That's the best article I've read yet by a mainland paper. The NYT gets it right.

Yeah, I was happy to see something that wasn't sensationalist for once.

I also learned a new word from the article -
subsumed
Was used to describe lava covering cemetery.
Previously I probably would have used "consumed".

Our East Coast cousins said it made the front page of that March 24th printed edition. Kinda cool!
