I went to the meeting this afternoon and Mr Jim K had a powerpoint presentation of the current eruption all photographs and maps were taken from the web site so there wasn't anything new that he showed us or said that wasn't already on the website. I would say at least 200 people in attendance.
There was a question and answer session afterwards. First question was from a guy that lost his home in Royal Gardens in 1987
and he said don't put much faith in the USGS and we should all be very concerned about this and we should all make plans and then he stormed out of the room, that kinda set the tone and Jim had to remind us several times that his job is very specific and it didn't include civil defense. Lot's of scenarios were talked about but basically he said if it keeps flowing like it was it would most likely cross the highway and go to the sea in a matter of months or years? Everything had a question mark after it because nobody can predict the future, After all it could just stop but I wouldn't hold my breath on that one.
