Building a new town in South Puna

[Justin]

The "safest" spot would be at the top of the ridge, between Leilani and Opihikao, near the Steam Vent Inn. The odds of a flow from Pu'u O'o staying at the very top of the ridge is very slim - it will invariably slide off to either the north or the south. The other advantage of this area is that it is right along the 130, which is already built. It's also "central" for the area that seems likely to get cut off should the current flow go as forecasted. All we really need is a supermarket and a drug store - we will still have access to the northern part of Pahoa, at least for awhile.
