I agree Rob - the word spooky is what keeps coming to mind for me. Even when familiar with other lower east rift zone eruptions, the explosive andesite at fissure 17, and the high volume, 5-mile long channelized 'a'a path to Wa Kai O Pele and Kapoho appear unique and significant.
Maybe it's part of the grieving process, or a human tendancy to anthropomorphize, but at times lava temperatures and steepest descent paths feel insufficient to explain and captuere the events unfolding.
IT IS BECAUSE OF PELE
