Hawaiian Beaches/Shores

[Wao nahele kane]

With all the focus on Pahoa and 130 lava crossing there's also a potential with the current flow to head right down the middle of Hawaiian Beaches/Shores.
If that happens, power may indeed become an issue in that subdivision below the flow. I'm not attempting to minimalize the Pahoa issue as everyone inundated will face severe hardships.
I mention this because of the size of the Beaches/Shores subdivision and a probable power outage as soon as a main feed power pole is burned out and the wire ends up on the flow. This will as it did when the power went out with Iselle introduce a tough situation to contain, looting and burglary wise.

As narrow as that subdivision is, if the lava goes down the middle looting will be the least of people's worries.

Check in on your elderly neighbors and see how they are doing. Some of mine are just sitting around and saying "wait and see". I am worried about them.

Black Sands has a group of people who are getting organized to be able to keep track of their elderly neighbors, people who are medically fragile, and anyone else they need to keep an eye on. The people in that neighborhood can't afford to leave, they have to take care of each other and are doing a good job of getting it set up.
