Oh hey USGS set up an actual live stream at the summit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlP-8JiKOS8 View Quote |

Quoted: Probably a stupid question but can you walk up to that summit now? or is it too hot, too unstable or something else?...... besides the fact that it can blow any second View Quote Yes you could walk up to it. It's not too hot... it might be unstable... but you won't know how unstable until weight is applied to the area... |

I just had an idea for a single crust cherry pie, except topped with dark chocolate chips as soon as you take it out of the oven, so they melt.
Pahoehoe pie. |

Wow, the volcano accidentally the whole thing.
Houses, roads, ponds, the bay, like it was never there. Such a shame. That said, if my house was there I would probably rather it burned then be one of the few left standing. No beach anymore, no access, no utilities. Now pretty much useless. Gonna guess most of these people don't bother sending in their mortgage payment this month. |

So, as the 'spatter cone' around that fissure grows will it eventually be high enough to slow or stop the lava from flowing out? Will the magma/lava just fill it up until it overflows? I guess I'm sort of interested in the dynamics of the whole thing. Volcanologists help me out here.

View Quote But the spatter cone at 8 is mostly wind driven to the South West of it... leaving the side it's flowing out of without any significant build up. So... pretty much no matter how tall it gets... it won't have any effect on the flow. |

I found it interesting that people were surprised by a "catastrophe" when they lived in a bowl, below sea level, next to the sea. The level of my perplexation of thought processes continues to rise as individuals who live on an active volcano experience "unforseen" cataclysms.

@itstock The supreme court decided it in 1977 and said the state owns all new land. State by Kobayashi v. Zimring View Quote Alluvion and accretion are used synonymously to describe the addition of soil by gradual deposit. Usually along waterways. The land that is deposited as a result of accretion is known as alluvion, and riparian owners gain title to the deposited alluvion. This alluvion may result from natural forces or artificial forces, such as the construction of jetties upland. I'm guessing the same principles would apply to accretion by lava flow...if the land was previously patented and has a clear chain of title. New land created by lava flowing into the ocean and not deeded by patent would belong to the state. |

Do the scientists think they know if the two events are connected?
You can see the fissures all line up, I heard the term intrusive dike. Not a geologist but I know what that is. Is the subsidence at the summit the result of the fissures funneling away the magma pool supporting the caldera? Or is the collapse of the caldera and the plugging of the throat is causing the magma to pool under pressure, creating the dike that leads to the fissures? Did Pele go full ARFCOM and get both? This is fascinating and horrifying, looking at the volcanic mountains in the distance |

I'm not an attorney and I've not read the case, but I'm guessing that applies to newly created lands not yet patented. I don't see how any previously deeded lands that have new 'topsoil' blown in could be contested. Alluvion and accretion are used synonymously to describe the addition of soil by gradual deposit. Usually along waterways. The land that is deposited as a result of accretion is known as alluvion, and riparian owners gain title to the deposited alluvion.

Yes, the closed it in 2009 or something like that. used to be the crater viewpoint within the caldera.

You are correct, its new land that extends into the ocean. A family owned two plots of land and there was an eruption with lava flowing into the ocean creating new land attached to theirs. Something like 18 addition acres. After a number of years they started planting trees and developing this new land. Hawaii said no you dont own it. It went to the supreme court and the supreme court ruled for the reason you noted; undeeded land belongs to the state and doesnt get attached to private property owners.

If you own waterfront property - even if your deed reads "the the mean high water line" or similar - you still own X acres and if lava extends the land so that the waterline is now hundreds of yards farther away... You do not gain acreage. And you lose your waterfront. On one hand I think that's fucked up - I own to the high water mark, so I still own to the high water mark. If all that filled in was 20' of sand, nobody would dispute the claim. Now that it's 500' of lava, all of a sudden I no longer own to the water? That's not cool. I can see both sides of the argument. Buying property in an area where there have been multiple lava flows every century for thousands of years is a risky proposition. |

Many of those homes were not insured, or at least not insured against lava. Property insurance & mortgages in the less stable regions of Hawaii are not like most places. The island has something like 9 different zones and depending on your zone you may not be insurable at all.
