Oh dude… I should have stayed asleep, you’re killing me over here.
Medicine man/ priest Scott,
While you’re running full speed for life to escape the "red stuff" down there in Lava zone 1 or 2.
Chew on this one a while.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Katrina
"At least 1,836 people lost their lives in the actual hurricane and in the subsequent floods"
"Preliminary damage estimates were well in excess of $100 billion, eclipsing many times the damage wrought by Hurricane Andrew in 1992"
Bigger storms are expected to come in the near future as forecasted by scientists, of that we can be assured and soon.
Financing and Insurance are still available from central Florida to Texas.
When are you certain that lava is going to cross 130? 200 years from now or tomorrow? Are you sure?
But wait...the Big Island produces very little in the realm of commodities and has very little business and or jobs.
Puna does not rate such attention from investors; accept the fact that the return on the potential investment is out weighed by the potential loss of the investment due to non-repayment by lack of industry and the meager threat of Lava.
If LZ1 and LZ2 were spanned along the southern coast of the mainland you’d be financed and insured with less trouble than one faces with regard to hurricanes.
Would you like me to "define" anything else for you?
E ho'a'o no i pau kuhihewa.
