Hawaii's Kilauea volcano is releasing red lava into a residential subdivision, prompting the county to order mandatory evacuations. Hawaii County spokeswoman Janet Snyder said Thursday red lava emerged on Mohala Street in the Leilani Estates subdivision. The county is ordering evacuations for homes from Luana Street to Pohohiki Road. The eruption comes after days of earthquakes rocked the Puna district of the Big Island. Earlier in the week, the crater floor of the Puu Oo (POO'-oo OH'-oh) vent collapsed. That caused magma to push more than 10 miles downslope toward the populated southeast coastline of the island. Update- 5.4 earthquake. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/hawaii-earthquake-today-5-6-magnitude-big-island-kilauea-volcano-eruption-continues-live-updates-2018-05-04/ https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/955497/Hawaii-volcano-fourth-eruption-strikes-Leilani-Estates-as-US-island-fears-mount Just zoom into Hawaii for details- https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/#%7B 6.9 quake!

Does homeowners insurance cover lava eruptions, or is there a special insurance for molten rock?
|

That is exactly where we are going in about 6 weeks.
Not sure how bad this can get. We did buy travel insurance. |

Perhaps the 9th Circuit Judge in Hawaii can save them with a well timed ruling.

My daughter was at Volcano Nat Park yesterday afternoon and just got home this afternoon. I texted her and told her I'm glad she's home safe in the Cascadia Subduction Zone.

Kilauea volcano eruption: Watch incredible footage of lava lake |

I was in CA for a 5.6. It hit while I was cooking dinner. I kept cooking dinner. Things rattled, but nothing fell. 5.0 is not a big deal.

Who would buy a home close enough to a volcano that a lava flow through the neighborhood is a realistic possibility?

That rift zone zone stretches down into what looks like a fairly developed area judging by the number of roads... I'm just waiting to see if the magma breaks through somewhere besides the current vent. |

This one has some sick drone footage straight over where it is venting in the neighborhood.

someone remind me to check that earthquake predictor guy's youtube channel tomorrow
(and yes, hes legit) |

Quoted: Funny you should ask. I was looking at buying on the big island. There are lava zones, based on the probability of having a flow where you live. The most likely zones make it very difficult to get loans or insurance. View Quote |

Figures that she's a blowing now. I was there in December and nothing was happening, not even the typical flows into the ocean.
That neighborhood is 9 miles from the location that typically flows into the ocean all the time. It's a risk that's really unavoidable unless you live on the extreme north end of the island but no place is safe. That neighborhood however is on the risky side of locations in my book. No God damn way I would write mortgage loans for the area is I owned a bank. Insurance for such events is a slippery slope . Coverage would depend on you type of loss from the event. Worst case would be molten rock flowing through your front door but also the least likely. Standard home policy would cover the more likely damages such as fire, smoke or falling debris without issue. For any kind of earth movement you would need earthquake coverage. |

Ban Bumpstocks, “assault weapons” and “high capacity” mags! The volcano gods wouldn’t be so angry if they just enacted common sense gun confisc...I mean control....

A poster above mentioned a 5.0 earthquake not being a big deal, and he's both right, and wrong. A 4.8 ish earthquake was one of the most destructive to me years ago, because of the type, and how close I was to the epicenter. Everything was thrown off my shelves, glass everywhere, and power was out for almost a day for a large part of my city. This was back in my college days, so it wasn't a nice city, it was a very scary one.
I can "surf" through 5.0's if they are further away and it's no big deal. I've lived through many earthquakes here. you generally freeze for a moment, then realize it's an earthquake. then the "how bad is this one going to be" phase, getting to a doorway, and calling your kids to do the same. Afterwards, usually a few hours of aftershocks, again...assess how bad and ride the wave. |

Lava flow in Leilani Estates |
|
|
Earth quake was the weirdest thing I ever went through.
It is like it is real but not. Just odd to experience |
|
Well shit, I thought I knew something about earthquakes, but I stand corrected.
|
|
I thought it was flowing into a residential area.
That appears to be originating in a crack in the residential area! Am I wrong? I know jack and shit about the topic, but I'd prefer to live in an area where the ground doesn't suddenly split open and spew forth hell. |

All is not well in paradise. Just so the sleeping giant at Yellowstone stays a sleep then CONUS is safe.
