Scott, I apologize if my turn of phrase offended you. That certainly wasn't my intent. Those multitudes who disagree with me are more than welcome. Think of it as saying "sink or swim". Only a lead weight would be offended (LOL). But if you're not prepared for the only artery to Hilo being shut off, and this happened, wouldn't you be better on the other side of the flow? Maybe you should focus on the "get ready" part of the phrase. That's what my focus has been. Thirty years of oozing lava is pretty normal for a shield volcano's rift zone. No one should be surprised; No one should be unprepared. One last comment on Harry Kim: The Mayor is pretty much a figurehead compared to the power weilded by the county council. I like to put them in the hot seat for any infrastructure problems. Aloha, Greg
