There's Always The Weather

Remember Santorini.

Lava flowing is one thing,

a volcano blowing its' top off quite another.

The Hawaiian volcanoes are shield volcanoes; quite different from Krakatoa, Thera, Martinique, or Mt. St. Helen. Vesuvius and Mt. St. Helen are inland, which refutes the older notion that such pyroclastic flows result from steam expanding when sea water entered the magma chamber. Hawaiian lava is viscous and slow flowing; the eruptions of Vesuvius and Mt. St. Helen were mainly ash and lapilli. Quite a different dynamic.

WELL, "they" are worried about a major eruption.

What could happen?

Mine is the same as last upload

Last night, the heat index was 90F. The week before was nice.

Three weeks ago, it was about 40F with windchill at the ball game.

The Monday before that, games were snowed out.

Literally.

The week before, we were taking baseball photos with kids wearing coats over their uniform. Coat off, take the shots, kids ran for the cars!

What happened to spring?!

You're heard of Terraforming (Earthforming) an inhospitable place like Mars to be more friendly to peopleization.

What you are experience is "CanadaForming".

The seek to make our turf more Canada like.

Never Forget: Across an immense, unguarded, ethereal border, Canadians, cool and unsympathetic,

regard our America with envious eyes and slow

ly and surely draw their plans against us.​

Insane Photos Show Massive Ash Plume

Looming Over Hawaii's Big Island

People living near the Halemaumau Crater got quite the apocalyptic sight Wednesday as an ash plume, estimated to be 12,000 feet high, rose into the air and towered over the Big Island of Hawaii.

Everytime we hear of a new fissure opening up, we wonder if it's near Riverwind. we have no idea...

The answer is NO.

Riverwind is uphill from these fissures.

If you go to Big Island Video News' report of

http://www.bigislandvideonews.com/2018/05/

16/video-7-pm-eruption-update-heavy-de-gassing-occurring/

Look for the map that is below the video ...

The East Rift Zone is roughly a line that follows the dark red fissures. Look at the insert map on the bottom right. The Pacific ocean is at the bottom. The latest fissure -- #17 -- is flowing downhill toward the sea. That's flowing away from populated areas. Lava might be molten rock but it still flows downhill.

Kilauea volcano, Pu'u'O'o crater and Halemaumau (spelling) crater are off the map and to the west. Again, lookout the tiny inserted map.

And yes, obviously, gas and ash are a problem. I'm not an idiot and don't appreciate the snarky BUT BUT BUT comments after I post like this.

Sorry about making you the recipient of me waking up on the wrong side of the bed.

I tend to be grumpy in the mornings but today it was snarling, raving mad for some reason.

Understood, however, if you keep talking about butts, I will respond to you with that portion of my own anatomy. Then the thunder won't be coming from Hawai'i
