Comment copied from Eric : "I've always wondered about if the state or Hilo for that matter has any type of plan for WHEN it does happen... "
You reminded me of a similar question by home owners who had houses on sandy bluffs over the Pacific Ocean in Washington and Oregon. They expected the government to pay them damages when the ocean washed away their foundations.
I look at that map and "as the crow flies", the flow is six miles from the farms behind Pahoa town. But I suspect with the very uneven terrain, the lava could change direction at any time. I bought a home in lava zone 2 and I knew at any time, things might change. No problem, I'll deal with it if/when it happens. You see, it is we the people who should have a plan to help ourselves, not the government. This will be something to watch [8D]
He who hoots with owls at night cannot soar with the eagles in the morning.
