Is really minor. Living on a volcano you get used to the ‘ho-hum’…. until it really gets close.
The bright red marks are the current ‘overflow’. Chicken scratches compared to the long pink finger of the 2014 flow that made it all the way to Pahoa town. That flow has hardened, and blocked up the geologic trench crack that guided it in that direction, so our bets are that it will not come that direction again in my lifetime. My house is in that little strip up by the “Pacific” label of ‘Pacific Ocean’. I’m about 2 miles west of the eastern shore. People are still freaked out there, but you know the old saying… “Buy when there is blood in the streets!”…. or Lava. I’ve made my bet. Me & Pele are friends. We all understand that these are Pele’s lands, and she will do as she pleases.
