Thanks for the links .... and sharing a bit of a before coffee rant this Sunday morning.
Agreed... that one can get a seat of the pants feeling for what kind of day its going to be by watching the plume ... or looking out the window, taking a deep breath .... What I was looking for was a ppm readout and still can not find one ....
Isn't that what the state and federal funding (and study recommendations) was / were all about? (imho)It has been demonstrated that there is a potential for a problem if there were a massive release of gas from the vents. In this day and age it is borderline criminal activity, certainly negligent not to have real time numbers posted on a real time website updated when ever vog is present.
and speaking of answers "blowing in the wind",
"If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem" has always been my edict. In that spirit:
Some of us punaweb members could start our own little network, since the county seems to be asleep at the wheel.
I remember reading that the schools had hand held ppm read out units that they purchased for 400$. My gut reaction is that means a real price of about $200 on ebay - grin
Id be game, 4 or 5 more members reporting from the popular subdivisions to a topic here - could even involve the associations - thinking out loud....
and Bobs' your uncle
Regards and Aloha this voggy morning
