Quote HistoryQuoted:
with all this geothermal Hawaii Island still imports lots of oil to make electricity (43 percent,) makes you think that Obummer really cares about the environment. it still could be used to boil water to make cheap pure water from sea water if nothing else. my thoughts are they should have been close to 100 percent for years now https://www.hawaiianelectric.com/clean-energy-hawaii/clean-energy-facts/about-our-fuel-mix https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geothermal_power_in_Iceland "Five major geothermal power plants exist in Iceland, which produce approximately 26.2% (2010)[2] of the nation's electricity. In addition, geothermal heating meets the heating and hot water requirements of approximately 87% of all buildings in Iceland. Apart from geothermal energy, 73.8% of the nation’s electricity is generated by hydro power,[3] and 0.1% from fossil fuels." Geothermal has an interesting history here as initial efforts were protested by native Hawaiians since the considered it a desecration of Pele. Things are changing now that one of the protest leaders is on the payroll of one of the geothermal companies. Only the Big Island has enough thermal activity to support electricity generation as far as I know. FWIW, I work on the island of Kahoolawe and we are in the process of converting from diesel generation to solar. |

The other four on the big island and the smaller islands have all moved off the hot spot and gone cold. As the plate floats generally NW, the hot spot stays in the same general spot and the island grows SE. Again, only generally, it's not a perfectly straight line. |

Now that would be cool to try flying a drone over.
Some proximity flights about 20-30 feet over a flow would be cool as long as radiant heat doesnt fry the electronics/props. Probably emergency evacuation flights and shit going on but after a few weeks when cleared out... Dude I follow on instagram was just there doing proximity runs low to the old flows. My parents have friends that are in line of flow, one of the two houses lost is a neighbor of theirs. |

Fissure at Leilani and Kaupili Streets in Leilani Estates subdivision at 8:07 a.m. HST today. Lava on the road was approximately 2 m (about 2 yd) thick. |

Pretty much but Hualalai last erupted in the early 1800s and volcano scientists think Mauna Loa may erupt again at some point. They are all considered "dormant" but not "extinct". Quote HistoryQuoted:

The hot spot moves some, too. As long as the big island is still a mass, the hot spot could move and the lava path could theoretically breakout anywhere. |

There's a guy with a channel that's basically just stuff getting covered in pahoehoe. Can of ravioli, a can of coke. An Iphone 7. A can of spam. A TV remote. It's stupid and fascinating at the same time.
"This is retarded. Let me just watch the next one, with the can of pork and beans, and then I'll find something else." *half hour later* "Well, I bet the sword in pahoehoe is cool..."

I went through a 6.9 quake in the Big Hole Valley in MT some years ago. I just happened to be looking in the right direction to see a series of waves cross the valley floor. Looked exactly like rollers in the ocean coming right for us. Bigger and faster though.
That was the Borah Peak Quake. Kilt two kids walking to school in Challis, ID. It was a pretty exciting morning there in Wisdom, MT. |

6.9 is a heck of a shake.
Hopefully everything turns out ok and this isn't a harbinger of worse things to come. Planning a return trip to the big island in the near future, hopefully this won't put a damper on our plans. Place is paradise minus some of the people. |

Not knowing much about the Hawaiian Islands, is the island sparsely populated? Seems a 6.9 would cause considerable structural damage across the entire island.

The island of Hawaii is bigger than Rhode Island and Delaware and pretty close to the size of Connecticut. With a population of around 187k, it is far less populous compared to Connecticut at 3.5m, Rhode Island at 1 million and Delaware at 900k. Earthquakes here tend to be of short duration and cause little damage. ETA: Good question! Quote HistoryQuoted:
