The facts about the homes destroyed by lava

[jdirgo]

Hmmm, hpp4me -- that lava zone list looks strangely familiar. In fact, it is WORD-FOR-WORD the one the I personally wrote for my website at www.hawaiirealproperty.com.

May I ask where you got it?

Copied it from an earlier post I think. Not sure where the original source is.

Nice website, by the way! Very professional.

This page is awesome: http://www.hawaiirealproperty.com./calculators.html
Every imaginable tool! I found your catchment page really informative, too.

Did you do you your own site?

Thanks everyone for the input.I,probably,didn't ask the question right first time.
Does anyone know where to get the facts about the victims of the last lava disaster?
Did any of the victims get enough from their insurance to rebuild?
Or there were only unpermitted cabins in the area?

Go out to the flow and the guy with the red roof off to the ocean side's name is Frank - he was there before - with a permitted house. Talk to him.

I'm just curious what you professional realtors, builders and project managers think about these zones. They are accurate descriptions of past flows (the higher the zone number, the longer it has been since a flow passed over). But that's the past. It seems like fissures open up in unexpected places often on the BI. I also wonder if a place in zone 3 might be more risky because it is overdue. That logic is used for earthquakes, after all.

This is coming from someone who looked only at zone 3 properties and now feels a bit silly about having done so.

hpp4me, send me a private e-mail and I will e-mail you a file in regards to the lava zones. Since I already own a house in Lava Zone 1, I assume that will tell you how I feel about this subject. []

Thanks. I've emailed you.

The zones are based on historical evidence. Lava Zone 1 covers the currently active rift zone (meaning that, yes, a fissure could open there). Lava Zone 2 is considered somewhat lower risk, but since typically it is downhill of the lava zone 1 properties, I just have to say "hmmm". Lava Zone 3 is not at risk of an active outbreak in that area, but that does not mean it is "safe", just "safer".

Thanks for the compliments on the website. Its hosted and the "framework" was developed by someone else, but the actual text of many of the pages was written by me one afternoon when I was feeling loquacious.

Hey I'm from Cali so a little lava doesnt scare me!! ha h a

Actually I have friends moving out past the barricade. We (SB & I) suggested they build a house in 3 8' sections that bolt together. Seriously. Unbolt. drag onto a chassis and away it goes. Hooligal has the skinny (pardon the pun hooli) on the composting potties.

8' sections will get you a building permit as long as it totals +250SF - instead fo teco nails on the double strap pier blocks - use bolts. In fact, your solar panels on the roof of one section would mean they would ride out with this train. Only thing you gotta do is empty your catchment to take with you.

Bring back when lava cools off. repeat as needed.

Hey Kat where do you take your sections, Richardsons Park?
