Helicopters 5-28-11 in Kapoho Area

[Kapohocat]

After a couple of us where like "WOW! They just BARELY cleared our coconut trees..." and we a little irritated, we called around and found out that the (very) low flying helicopter was Search and Rescue.

I hope they find whomever they are looking for.

I saw them here in Waa Waa, too. Not flying quite as low here, but heading away from Kapoho. Hope there's a good outcome.

Just in my online morning news readings, read that a body was found floating just offshore the lava entry area. Three rental cars were parked at the area where lava hikers go in. Don't know if more are missing...

I assume that's the chopper activity you're witnessing.

Whoa... just there yesterday morning. Sad.
It's a highly unstable area (he says as he speaks to the choir)...
