btw.. the current eruption isn't over either.
Neither are the eruptions on Mauna Loa, Hualalai, or Haleakala considered extinct for that matter. And yet, their is a timeline for habitation in human years that we use as a guide, not geological time.
maybe I shouldn't post this... being a disruptive element
I don't think it's so much disruption, or playing devil's advocate, or stating a minority or unpopular view that's difficult for readers, especially people who have homes and property in the area. Nor is it an attempt to look at the Big Picture, by exploring and discussing more than just the wants and needs of the human residents in Lower Puna. All of that affects where we go from here.
I think, personally, it's when compassion and empathy are excluded from the observations and commentary, almost as if the concerns of people who live there don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world, no more than dust in the wind. The worries, concerns, and challenges they face when trying to make life changing decisions are somehow unimportant. When they want to ask a government official a question from who (whom?) they might receive a satisfactory answer in human time, not geologic time, well, that's just too much to expect from the people who gladly accepted their tax dollars to pay their salary so they can live in a nice house and pay their own bills.
At the very least, they could make a Powerpoint presentation showing potential timelines, that is, if they've thought about it.
