Winds coming from S-SW, sending volcano SO2 gigantic gas clouds into Puna. A storm went by, hello? That always changes the prevailing winds for a few days. If you smell something, go to the HVO SO2 site and it will be from the volcanoes blowing that way or the wind has died completely and the heavier SO2 settles into lower lying places without ocean breeze.
The emissions from the volcanoes are many times bigger than pressure releases at PGV. It's interesting how a few parts per billion SO2 around PGV results in the deaths of all who are within 10 miles of it, including vegetation but volcanoes spewing thousands of tons of SO2 into the atmosphere aren't even noticeable. Punatic crazy perceptions.
"Aloha also means goodbye. Aloha!"
