Realtors are recommending HOVE and Ranchos? Two subdivisions that are nothing but raw lava, because the last eruption was so recent?
I think Carey said it best a few months ago in a discussion about Mauna Loa (the event she described below occurred slightly north of HOVE):
The SW rift of Mauna Loa opened up in a fissure eruption from 8,000 to 13,000 feet like a zipper, or a fissure eruption 12 miles long opening up almost simultaneously...in the middle of the night - with none of the ML trademark earthquake swarms!
This eruption was fast, starting around 9pm & making it to HWY 11 by midnight, and the ocean 35 minutes later, and by morning had bisected HWY11 in 2 separate locations, isolating the community of Ho`okena...which had just barely enough time to all evaculate...
