Good morning Adias,
The winds usually blow the Vog west or northwest, which keeps the eastside nice and clear. The last few weeks have been tough, as the winds have been blowing the stuff into Puna and Hilo. When driving up hwy 11 in the morning to work I can see the Vog billowing up from Puu’Oo. It looks like a big brush fire in the distance. As I get up to the Volcano Village area where I work it looks like landing in LA on a bad SMOG day. It didn’t bother me at first but I have notice I’ve been coughing more when I’m in all day. I can remember going to Kona a few months before the eruptions started in ’83. The sky was so clear all the time. I can’t imagine living over there now. The beaches are nice but it is too much for me to want to put up with when you still have to work for a living. I was just meant to be a Punatic!
