When mother nature fires warning shots across your bow... listen up and take appropriate action otherwise she'll scuttle your ass. We saw that occur with the Albezia branches falling on and near cars, so mother nature fired a round through county infrastructure for ignoring the warning shots. Now mother nature is firing another warning shot across the counties bow with some lava approaching. The question is simply this... Has the county and our local Puna representative learned to yield to the warning shots or will it be ignored like the falling branches. How long will it take for this county to get with reality and cover the ingress/egress issue for lower Puna. Don't expect financial favors from FEMA because they aren't coming and ignoring the issue won't make it go away. Widen the beach road, pave it and scrape those damn speed bumps off the road or divert the end to link up with Puna Coastal pkwy and then continue it on up to HPP or sit around and let nature expose knuckle headed choices again.
