Ohia trees are dying rapidly, Why?

[Guest]

Had to bring this topic back because the Ohia trees are still dying why?. Since hurricane Iselle brought the winds, more trees are dying at even a faster rate around Leilani. Thought some might want to write in their thoughts to why or what could be still causing our rain forest to die?.

I personally believe geothermal released enough steam that night to kill more Ohia.
My wife believes the dead trees are from a virus and that the high winds spread it easier.
My neighbor believes Pele is marking her future paths by taking the tree as a sacrifice or something like that?.

Anyway our beautiful land in Puna has been changing very fast during the last few decades and it is sad to see or watch. Sure the replacing trees like the albezia are nice to look at but the Ohia tree should be worth saving or at least a study to why they may be dying TODAY.Not in 1955.
