A Hawaiian Catastrophic Eruption? Could all of this volcanic activity just be a prelude to the ultimate Hawaiian Volcanic Eruption? We all know about the new sea-mount SE underwater Loihi volcano.

Could now be the time? A historical event? An epochal event in our time? All pressure and magma and such being completely transfered to the new Loihi underwater volcano? All in one big bang? Oh boy!

The entire big island of Hawaii sub-ducting over ONE MILE in only 30 seconds? What would THAT DO? No magma holding it up. The pipe has been changed. Eventually a new Hawaiian island. What would result?

All the magma pressure being released into the new volcano and denied to the big island Hawaiian volcanoes? A series of Pacific Rim Mega Tsunamis? A three hundred foot SERIES of mega tsunamis hitting the West Coast?

Or ... one big bang of the ultimate pressure transfer and the Big Island sub-ducts over TWO MILES in just one minute? No magma pressure holding it up. It all gets transfered to the new Loihi volcano. Yikes and Wow!

They say this will happen slowly over many years. What if it happens just in a few minutes? What would be the death toll? Hundreds of millions over the entire Pacific Rim. All at once. All in just one week. Oh boy!

Some of the cliff face of the Big Island remain very non stable. What kind of ordinary mundane volcanic earthquake would it take to land slide the various non stable coast sides? That alone would be enough.
 
i have family scattered all over most of the islands. most of them on the big island have left and are on maui or oahu right now because of the volcano
 
daughter 80miles from it and reports that it is way over dramatized in the media,
remember in the 80's I think this happed just the same way and did the same stuff,
no cries of OMG LOOK OUT now if it was Mauna Loa yes swim away and fast
 
I have a brother that's within 30 miles of it. Getting allot of nasty vog the last few days. Now that it's hitting the ocean the steam is pretty nasty stuff to. So far only a few light coatings of ash.
 
Nah we are fine. They have mapped Kilauea eruptions over the last 10,000 years in this area doing the exact same thing. Its just doing what it does. We wont be so lucky to cause a 300ft tsunami to wipe out California. :(

The vog is pretty bad but at least it smells like fireworks.

Compare our sulfur dioxide emissions
earth :: a global map of wind, weather, and ocean conditions

To that of China
earth :: a global map of wind, weather, and ocean conditions

and it does not look as bad.

Funny, that article quotes an ER physician turned politician currently running for lieutenant gov who is getting involved mostly to look good for his campaign. He asked for physicians to volunteer to help. When we asked for what (seriously, lava only hurt one guy and there are some people having increased asthma problems, but hardly a medical disaster) he could not answer the question. He just wants people to *think* he is doing something to get elected. Politicians are the same everywhere.

The media over-dramatizes everything -- every storm is the end of the world, etc. etc. It's really a disservice -- like the boy who cried wolf, eventually a real wold does come and by then we'll be so inured we'll just roll our eyes and think "whatever".

The world will end at 10 pm tonight, live mini cam update at 11
