Malolo and KathyH are right. Sending the bulldozers down Railroad would only buy a little time. Sending them down Government Beach would only buy a little more. Can they build a suspension bridge spanning a lava flow?
Fortunately, the head honcho at the Volcano Observatory says this is NOT the big one we all need to dread. He has been saying that neither the volume nor type of lava of the current eruption are the sort that would threaten any inhabited areas. The continued advance does cause some folks to worry, though.
Special note to Glen:
Your romantic and well-written descriptions of your quest to move to Hawaii are quite worthy. Given your apparently nervous disposition, though, may I recommend either therapy or installing a lilikoi margarita machine in your palapa? Or both? Just a suggestion.
