What he's not telling you (criminally, IMHO) is that the ash plume contains microscopic shards of silica (pulverized rock) which when breathed, lodge in the lining of the lung. Scarification of the lungs results in SILICOSIS, similar to the effects of asbestos exposure, which will lead to cancer and other lung-related illnesses years into the future. If you don't know this, many years after exposure if you develop emphysema, you might not even connect this to the disease. It is dereliction of duty they they are not warning of these hazards now. People deserve the right to know!!!
Don Brown I think Silicosis is more of an occupational hazard than volcanic. Especially in Hawaii. I've worked on a couple of volcanoes that were in eruption (Pacaya in Guatemala and St. Helens in Washington USA) as well as a bunch that were quiet at the time. From what I understand, the main troublemaker in causing silicosis is "free" silica that is sized less than a couple of microns. So, if the silica is one of many chemicals that make-up a rock (not "free"), then it's not going to be a cause of silicosis. An annoyance? Yes. A hazard? Yes, somewhat. A disaster in Hawaii? Unlikely. This is a basaltic volcano, which has much less silica bound-up in rock than you'll find in volcanoes on (e.g.) the west coast of the Americas. And much less free silica. So, an explosion will be impressive, but Silicosis isn't as likely here as it would be with a much more silica-rich, explosive volcano like St. Helens, Fuji, Rainier, or, God forbid, Yellowstone. But, as far as Silicosis goes, those pale in comparison to working with a drill and breathing-in silica dust (e.g. Hawk's Nest Tunnel disaster). Nasty.
jusrayne tl;dr: Most knowledgeable people in the field feel that Yellowstone is not, at present, in imminent danger of erupting. Recent activity may be within normal variation. And, luckily, the giant eruptions of the past tend to be preceded by much-less catastrophic eruptions that will give us a warning. To be clear, I'm just an enthusiastic amateur with a BS in geology/geophysics and very little post-graduate experience. My last foray into the academic world was a couple of years ago when I gave a volcano lecture to a group of gifted 5th graders. So, take the following with this in mind. First, let's get our terminology in-synch: Yellowstone is most definitely considered "active"! The geysers, the steaming pools and, yes, the earthquakes, the deformations and the gravity changes, etc. make it obvious that there's a lot of hot rock moving around, which puts Yellowstone in the "active" category. But it is also, most definitely, not in *eruption*. And that leads us to the scary question. As to when the next eruption will happen, there is no consensus. We're just not good at determining when any specific volcano will erupt, even in Hawaii, where we have a lot of experience with eruptions. Yellowstone is a much different story. Except for the history we read in the rocks that stretch from Washington to Wyoming and beyond, we have no experience with Yellowstone eruptions. But the rock record shows that Yellowstone has recently (within about 2 million years) had recurring eruptions every 600,000-800,000 years. The last big one was 630,000 years ago. The next one? It will probably be within the next 10,000 years, or 40,000, or 100,000, or.... Modern human beings have been modern human beings for only about 100,000 years. Humans have been farming for, at most, 10,000 years? For we human beings, that's a L-O-N-G time. All that said, it could happen next February, for all we know! One encouraging bit of Yellowstone's history is that the big, scary eruptions seem to be proceeded by a series of much smaller, basaltic (e.g. Hawaii-like) and andesitic (e.g. St. Helens) eruptions. So, from what I understand, the Earth will likely have a good warning before any giant eruption. Hope that answers your question.
Craig Lachman thank you very much.. I'm in California so with yellowstone activities I became concerned after seeing what is happening in Hawaii.. Seems they thought this eruption was just normal yet it seems to be more active then Usual.
Anyone with large animals - horses, cattle, or other farm animals without shelter should build temporary shelters with hay bails and tarps or other easily accessible/affordable roofing material that can be reused to keep the animals, their food, and water out of the ash fall. A tarp over the front the hay bail structure will help keep most of the ash out. Just be sure you don't cause extreme heat build up inside the structure. Tarps do act like a greenhouse while the sun is hitting it. As always, consult local groups to find the best solution for your specific needs. I am surprised she, or anyone for that matter, doesn't have a simple shade shelter for her horses and other large animals. I find it rather cruel for animals not to have access to any three sided structure that allows them to get out of the weather. Whether it's rain, dusty wind, or sun on excessively hot days,an animal should have access to protection. Wild animal have ways of finding shelter. Farm animals are fenced in with no way to seek shelter. I've seen a horse and a bull killed by lightning because they didn't have a structure for refuge in wide open fields without large trees. Yes, such a simply structure in an area prone to thunderstorms is grounded to the earth with a cable and spike. Point is, don't neglect the animals that rely solely on you for their health and safety. If you can't provide their basic needs, surrender them to the proper rescue. If you have the time to volunteer, and/or material to give or loan contact emergency management to see if/where you or the supplies are needed. Mahalo
Thanks for the headup with this comment. People that shouldn't have animals and get them are assholes. I wish it was a crime to let animals unsheltered, unprotected and behind in evacuations. I'm going to quit watching before that appears. It will upset me a lot.
Pulama Terlep I really, really wish I was able. Unfortunately I had an accident in 06. I am now disabled and live in Seattle. I would love nothing more than to fly there and help. I haven't been able to travel anywhere since my accident. But you had no way of knowing this. And I agree there are many, many trolls spending more time trying than helping. Mahalo.
No, no, no.. The steam explosion is only IF the crater gets plugged. He misspoke in the beginning and end of his report. He stated if the ground water and lava meet there will be an explosion. There will be a lot of steam. But NO explosion unless the crater gets plugged up. Lava and water are NOT going to cause an explosion alone. In order for there to be an explosion: First the lava caldera walls must collapse enough to create a blockage. An explosion will only happen when the lava and ground water meet creating steam under a blockage. This steam then becomes trapped and begins to pressurize the clogged caldera. When the steam reaches a certain point an explosion is triggered. If there is no blockage while the lava is low enough for ground water to penetrating the cladera, we will only see stream with occasional ash from pieces of the calders wall falling into the lava. Mahalo
If you poor wolten salt into water it explodes. Also if there are alot of gases and such disolved in the magma, the agitation from the water could create a chain reaction of gas releasing and cause a significant eruption.
Yeah, I've been wondering why the lava lake above the water table isn't a problem but the lava level dropping below it suddenly is a problem. I mean the lava has to go through the water table to get above the it. smh I hate it when the MSM shows that it really is pretty inept at putting 2 and 2 together.
How can anyone say what that volcano will do? She could just go back to sleep or even really blow and take the whole island out. Quit sounding like this going to be something so little. People need to know that they really don’t know what it will do and they should be ready for the worst!
Richard Swenson The tourist industry is the reason they are down playing this. Hawaii is losing a lot of tourist dollars over this. It's always the money.
You folks are silly. I lived on the Big Island and the volcano has been active for years. There are different kinds of volcanoes and this is not like Mnt St. Helen. The types of explosions and lava flow and ash quantities depend on the type of volcanic activity it is . Yes, this is very historic, spectacular and can be dangerous and have health effects, but the islands chain was formed by these volcanoes and Hawaii is still growing. Its not as "end of the world, the sky is falling!" as you are making it out to be. It is mother nature, or Pele doing what it has done in years past. It just hasn't been this active in this area in this degree for many years. Staying out of affected areas and having proper masks and protective clothing is the smart thing to do. Evacuating homes in the East Rift zone is common sense as in areas affected by ash fall and caustic gasses. But the entire island isn't gonna disappear! Homes will be destroyed, and it is very possible that the activity in this area and direction may continue for a long time. There may be a steam explosion to propel rock, which hasn't been seen for many years too. But this is not the first time a community was covered by lava... I lived to see Kalapana covered by lava. The large or strong earthquakes are surprising, and could cause more damage and would make me concerned, as well as acid rain effects, and poor air quality in certain areas of the island.
As he did a poor job explaining the problem with the ground water the problem is the magma in the volcano was putting pressure on rocks lining the vertical surfaces and as the magma dropped the pressure was released so letting the rock fall down the vent. Ground water soaks in and fills cracks in the rock and at some point the rock falls in the vent will dump a few thousand gallons of water into the vent instantly converting the water to steam. The problem with steam is a drop of water the size of a pea will convert to a beach ball sized amount of steam.
The problem with living on an island with an active volcano and having livestock is you really can't take them anywhere. You can't herd the cattle and horses to a friends pasture that is far enough away from the volcano. I do feel for the woman and her animals. If the winds shift and head her way, her and her neighbors will most likely loose some of the animals. The sad price you pay for living on a actively volcanic island. ☹
Livestock can be moved to another island. Or butchered to feed people displaced, since this is a slow-movement event. Just my two cents worth here . . .
STL Fila Whoa! No need to use fowl language. Yes I am aware of how big the island is. But just because it is large doesn't mean everyone there is filled with Aloha and willing to help out the ones who are suffering under the volcanic ash. It is hoped that they will but I for one never assume anything.
If you remember the cities we’re worried that the ash would short out the electrical lines like MAX because of all the iron in the ash. You could run a magnet over the top and it would stick to the magnet. Hope they can take care of the animals.
I’m stunned at the stupidity of these reporters and whining about a park being closed!!! It’s an erupting volcano!!! Get those people away from there while it’s still possible!!! Good grief!!!
I'm with you on that, Plus, all of these people talking about "Pele" and "Mother Nature", they better start praying to the One God, the creator of the Universe and ask for some help, instead of all of these false gods.
Portland got a dusting a couple of times. The worst time I put a tarp over my small truck. It was raining a little at the time. I don’t remember how deep it was on my truck. Maybe less than an inch. Weeks later I had to wear a painters mask when I mowed the lawn. Too much dust was kicked up while mowing.
When I tried to warn people people got so angry at me. I was trying to help people before it got to this. And this isn't the main event Please get out please I beg you. (In tears, please)
thats what I'm concerned about and now with all these 20 fissures. I lived in Upsate NY at the time and remember the ash clouds from it exploding that covered the sky for days
Yep , I live in Vancouver across the river, These people need to look what happened then, and how many months it took from first activity till it finally let loose. locals are fooling them selves if they think the rest of island is safe, look at the amount of carnage St. Helens caused compared to the size of the island
You guys should do more research. They are completely different types of volcanoes. There is zero chance of anything similar happening. I was born in and live in Oregon and lived on Big Island for years where I was a volcano tour guide.
I lived in Salem at the time and remember seeing the plume and later brushing the ash off my 65 GTO, I'm on the island of Oahu now and people who say there is no danger are playing a fools game. The crater is plugged and can blow creating a landslide and tsunami. It never hurts to prep no matter where you live.
Hope U don't tell people that ash won't kill you. Like the other Vid was saying. ASH HAS MICROSCOPIC PIECES OF GLASS IN IT. WHERE A MASK. ESPECIALLY THE DISABLED,YOUNG AND OLD .
Cameron Hollis, I think you may be mistaken about the explosion... If the magma and water come in contact there will be a massive explosion. The rocks that are falling into the cavern that are plugging things up will be ejected by the explosion, and will become projectiles which makes things worse, but the rocks falling in and plugging things up aren’t what’s going to cause the explosion... I’m fairly certain that is the case, but I sell paint for a living and know VERY little about Geology... PEACE!!!
Yup. I appreciate this and all your work. This is "mini" compared to Mt. St. Helens. I lived there when it blew. Now I am in Kona. This is not "enjoyable" to watch. I know how massive an explosion this can be, the weeks and months of powdery, gray-white "glass-shard" like debris that falls similar to a dangerous snow cover on everything. This is very frightening. I hope it doesn't "blow." It's not easy to wear a mask 24/7.
Again I would like to thank the drone flying Leilani estates manager last year this time tell me I would have to have a 1300sq ft poured concrete house pad with 2 car garage AND have a huge hole dug in the lava for a Concrete septic tank before I could build a approved home built....I thought that was a bit much for this area...small shacks and trailers seem much better...Guess I was right he was wrong ..hope they are all safe......
Rough calc on top of ash cloud You are 1 mile away, 30 degree angle to top, ~~ 0.5 mile altitude of ash cloud. Plug in your own numbers for better estimate.
If your barns not big enough you bring the animals into the house. That's what I do! I have a nice house, but if your going to have animals you have to be willing to sacrifice in an emergency. Lamas, goats, lambs, chickens and pigs have been in my house. Horses in my garage. You do what you have to do!
You are all in my prayers. Cruise ship businesses should send ships there to house the people of Hawaii, Free. They need help. Hopefully, things will calm down for another 20 + years.
Ok, why would she get so many animals in the first place? A volcano erupted and she doesn't have a shelter big enough for the animals. She should starting planning on building a second barn for the animals to keep them safe.
All the people in the volcano are doing their best to tell us to watch out and be safe but no one even tries to listen to them and they can not help if we are too stupid to realize the truth that GUIA needs as much help and is hoping that we will listen to her. She needs this and she is going to get what she is looking for.
ReligionlessFAITH There's no evidence that any of the past Hawaiian islands blow themselves apart, only that water erosion eroded them over millions of years.
ReligionlessFAITH The only relevance to the size of the seamounts are how long they sat over the hot spot while erupting. The craters are enlarged by millions of years of erosion. When things "blow themselves to kingdom come" they typically become smaller pieces of rubble not larger. Besides, if this did occur there would be evidence, along most if not the entire pacific rim, of tsunamis and other fallout around the world.
Read on post on others that you can’t take lava with you cause you might offend pele. How does that work when you lay pipes for water, gas and sewer. Put in poles for powerlines and built homes on it.
It is apparently becoming a big concern for the Pahala area with this report of ash-fall beginning to affect this beautiful, small town. There are many coffee farms here with wonderful local people who have worked very hard over the last years to convert old sugarcane acreage to grow award winning Ka'u coffee. Prayers for the people and the land they love.
If rocks fall into the lava lake, wouldn't they melt? If you drop cold butter on melted butter,, it melts. Seems to me rocks would do the same. I don't know how hot lava is but it is melted rocks.
I had a front row seat to Mt. St. Helens, This entire island could be in danger. Even if that lava lake drops, it can fill right back up. Half that island could totally disappear.
3m 6200 N95 face mask, $13.99, 3M 60293 filters $16.99, both delivered in 3 days from ebay. These filters filter out the sulpher dioxide, the main danger, and a half dozen other nasty things and includes particulate filter. These are the ones that people are using here, but you still have to be careful. People venturing into the affected zones can check them out at the control points to retrieve animals and essentials. I have 2 sets, and will at least buy enough time to evacuate.
Are these people not concerned about the possibility of a sudden explosion and pyroclastic flow. If that occurs anyone nearby won’t have any chance or time to escape.
Dude: "It's God's country..." Lady: "It's Pele's country; we're her guests." Dude: "Ok, not a Christian, you gotta go now, bye!" Lady: "Asshole. Where's my whiskey?" Edit: gonna go have a drink now and raise one to the lady in the pink top. Lady, if you read this, I really hope the wind keeps blowing in other directions! Here's to you and your animals!
What he's not telling you (criminally, IMHO) is that the ash plume contains microscopic shards of silica (pulverized rock) which when breathed, lodge in the lining of the lung. Scarification of the lungs results in SILICOSIS, similar to the effects of asbestos exposure, which will lead to cancer and other lung-related illnesses years into the future. If you don't know this, many years after exposure if you develop emphysema, you might not even connect this to the disease. It is dereliction of duty they they are not warning of these hazards now. People deserve the right to know!!!
Don Brown
I think Silicosis is more of an occupational hazard than volcanic. Especially in Hawaii.
I've worked on a couple of volcanoes that were in eruption (Pacaya in Guatemala and St. Helens in Washington USA) as well as a bunch that were quiet at the time. From what I understand, the main troublemaker in causing silicosis is "free" silica that is sized less than a couple of microns. So, if the silica is one of many chemicals that make-up a rock (not "free"), then it's not going to be a cause of silicosis. An annoyance? Yes. A hazard? Yes, somewhat. A disaster in Hawaii? Unlikely.
This is a basaltic volcano, which has much less silica bound-up in rock than you'll find in volcanoes on (e.g.) the west coast of the Americas. And much less free silica. So, an explosion will be impressive, but Silicosis isn't as likely here as it would be with a much more silica-rich, explosive volcano like St. Helens, Fuji, Rainier, or, God forbid, Yellowstone.
But, as far as Silicosis goes, those pale in comparison to working with a drill and breathing-in silica dust (e.g. Hawk's Nest Tunnel disaster).
Nasty.
Craig Lachman with all the earthquake activity in Yellowstone do you think it may become active?
jusrayne
tl;dr: Most knowledgeable people in the field feel that Yellowstone is not, at present, in imminent danger of erupting. Recent activity may be within normal variation. And, luckily, the giant eruptions of the past tend to be preceded by much-less catastrophic eruptions that will give us a warning.
To be clear, I'm just an enthusiastic amateur with a BS in geology/geophysics and very little post-graduate experience. My last foray into the academic world was a couple of years ago when I gave a volcano lecture to a group of gifted 5th graders. So, take the following with this in mind.
First, let's get our terminology in-synch:
Yellowstone is most definitely considered "active"! The geysers, the steaming pools and, yes, the earthquakes, the deformations and the gravity changes, etc. make it obvious that there's a lot of hot rock moving around, which puts Yellowstone in the "active" category.
But it is also, most definitely, not in *eruption*.
And that leads us to the scary question.
As to when the next eruption will happen, there is no consensus. We're just not good at determining when any specific volcano will erupt, even in Hawaii, where we have a lot of experience with eruptions. Yellowstone is a much different story.

Modern human beings have been modern human beings for only about 100,000 years. Humans have been farming for, at most, 10,000 years? For we human beings, that's a L-O-N-G time.
All that said, it could happen next February, for all we know!
One encouraging bit of Yellowstone's history is that the big, scary eruptions seem to be proceeded by a series of much smaller, basaltic (e.g. Hawaii-like) and andesitic (e.g. St. Helens) eruptions.
So, from what I understand, the Earth will likely have a good warning before any giant eruption.

Is there a possibility this could burn up or effect the clean water?

if the animals are calm, i m calm
Why are people acting like the volcano wont kill them they are delusional as hell, so irritating.
Hey, a lot of people thought Trump would've killed us, by now. Who knew?
What part of getting progressively worse,
Is rocket science?
My left ear found this very informative. My right ear.... not so much.
Sounds like you need new headphones if only one side is working.
i get the same reaction from people i talk to with half a brain hahahaha
Nobody can predict what Mother Nature will do.
Ash look like its going so slow... didn't look real at first.. I know it is! Be safe.. Praying for you and Halemaumau.

I'm on the island of Oahu now and people who say there is no danger are playing a fools game. The crater is plugged and can blow creating a landslide and tsunami. It never hurts to prep no matter where you live.
The fire that the fireman can't put out hell is truly enlarging itself
Please let the horses out!!!
It’s gonna blow!! As a. Hawaiian resident I have a feeling it’s gonna explode.....
Hope U don't tell people that ash won't kill you. Like the other Vid was saying. ASH HAS MICROSCOPIC PIECES OF GLASS IN IT. WHERE A MASK. ESPECIALLY THE DISABLED,YOUNG AND OLD .
Cameron Hollis, I think you may be mistaken about the explosion... If the magma and water come in contact there will be a massive explosion. The rocks that are falling into the cavern that are plugging things up will be ejected by the explosion, and will become projectiles which makes things worse, but the rocks falling in and plugging things up aren’t what’s going to cause the explosion... I’m fairly certain that is the case, but I sell paint for a living and know VERY little about Geology... PEACE!!!
Yup. I appreciate this and all your work. This is "mini" compared to Mt. St. Helens. I lived there when it blew. Now I am in Kona. This is not "enjoyable" to watch. I know how massive an explosion this can be, the weeks and months of powdery, gray-white "glass-shard" like debris that falls similar to a dangerous snow cover on everything. This is very frightening. I hope it doesn't "blow." It's not easy to wear a mask 24/7.
Imagine Kīlauea as a champagne bottle only BIGGER if the lava hits the ground water. What happens next? POP! like a cork popping out of a bottle!
Geology student. This is the most scientific explanation I've heard. Thank you for your accurate and factual report.
my right ear is lonely :(
Halimaw is Filipino (Philippine language) for monster. Just saying..
Again I would like to thank the drone flying Leilani estates manager last year this time tell me I would have to have a 1300sq ft poured concrete house pad with 2 car garage AND have a huge hole dug in the lava for a Concrete septic tank before I could build a approved home built....I thought that was a bit much for this area...small shacks and trailers seem much better...Guess I was right he was wrong ..hope they are all safe......
Rough calc on top of ash cloud You are 1 mile away, 30 degree angle to top, ~~ 0.5 mile altitude of ash cloud. Plug in your own numbers for better estimate.
If your barns not big enough you bring the animals into the house. That's what I do! I have a nice house, but if your going to have animals you have to be willing to sacrifice in an emergency. Lamas, goats, lambs, chickens and pigs have been in my house. Horses in my garage. You do what you have to do!
mother earth is reclaiming what's rightfully hers.....
"Scientists do not believe...." When are scientists going talk about only facts without their useless opinions?
You are all in my prayers. Cruise ship businesses should send ships there to house the people of Hawaii, Free. They need help. Hopefully, things will calm down for another 20 + years.
Ok, why would she get so many animals in the first place? A volcano erupted and she doesn't have a shelter big enough for the animals. She should starting planning on building a second barn for the animals to keep them safe.
Its a Gamble living in a place like that. Sometimes you win. Sometimes you lose. !
10:22 "this is Madam Pele's country and we're her guests."
SO SPOOKY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VOLCANO IN YOUR BACKYARD................
Ash is being "carried downstream"?? No, it is carried "downwind".
You mean like dey told us in skool, what goes up must come down? Government funding at it's best, brah.
I walked on the lava field at night and I was very impressed, but I made sure I did not bring back anything including dust!
Its beautiful countryside as well, it reminds me of Australia.
Beautiful! But possibly a horrible tragedy for some🙁
I'm going to live on a valcano....
What could possibly go wrong ?
Maybe it's just Japanese standards, but seems weird to me that he keeps touching her. Is that normal?
Please get your horses and pets to safety!!!
All the people in the volcano are doing their best to tell us to watch out and be safe but no one even tries to listen to them and they can not help if we are too stupid to realize the truth that GUIA needs as much help and is hoping that we will listen to her. She needs this and she is going to get what she is looking for.
Stay safe all residents on the Big Island
I think there is a legitimate question about the need for an evacuation strategy for the animals.
Excellent reporting.
thats crazy...hope there no ash fall in indonesia....
No worries brah. If it goes up we can call Maui the big island when the ash settles.
Spectacular once again spectacular! Lol this guy
Why are you holding your daughter's phone?
Be cautious? How about getting the heck out of the way?
Nice audio. It's only on the left channel.
Young Spock will save it!
This is Pele’s country. All of it!
Why not move the animals away from there
Ships for people and animals
That is a lot of water to cause that much steam?
Mono audio. No sound from right
doesn't look good, wonder if part of the east end of the island from the crater could fall into the ocean and cause a tsunami, a very large tsunami >
The Hilina slump

There's no evidence that any of the past Hawaiian islands blow themselves apart, only that water erosion eroded them over millions of years.
Kapoho in 60s! This could settle down now who knows!
Yes people have been talking about that for days. So I suppose it’s possible. Lol
ReligionlessFAITH
The only relevance to the size of the seamounts are how long they sat over the hot spot while erupting. The craters are enlarged by millions of years of erosion. When things "blow themselves to kingdom come" they typically become smaller pieces of rubble not larger. Besides, if this did occur there would be evidence, along most if not the entire pacific rim, of tsunamis and other fallout around the world.
Read my comments.
Surely it cant be long before this all goes pete tong... :(
Dam....
Volcanos, teaching 'Mericans to speak Hawhyun, 2018!
Ban volcanoes...............
Wearing a chemical respirator should be a priority.
Read on post on others that you can’t take lava with you cause you might offend pele. How does that work when you lay pipes for water, gas and sewer. Put in poles for powerlines and built homes on it.
That place will be never the same and still it hasn't blown yet.
It is apparently becoming a big concern for the Pahala area with this report of ash-fall beginning to affect this beautiful, small town. There are many coffee farms here with wonderful local people who have worked very hard over the last years to convert old sugarcane acreage to grow award winning Ka'u coffee. Prayers for the people and the land they love.
If rocks fall into the lava lake, wouldn't they melt? If you drop cold butter on melted butter,, it melts. Seems to me rocks would do the same. I don't know how hot lava is but it is melted rocks.
Astoundingly beautiful . I wish the best to all who are sorting this out.
Can you guys set up a live cam from the observation deck or somewhere near the crater?
It looks almost still! Awesome. Praying for safety of people and homes!
I had a front row seat to Mt. St. Helens, This entire island could be in danger. Even if that lava lake drops, it can fill right back up. Half that island could totally disappear.
Dirty Sanchez
*deep breath*
Not that kind of volcano.
How do you not know what to do?! You live on an island made by a volcano! With an active volcano! How do not know what to do?!
The Fema needs to be doing more getting more information out!!
I just ate some deer sausage and white bread.
those paper mask are not good.need the cartrige masks to be safe,where there is ash there could be gas.stay safe!
3m 6200 N95 face mask, $13.99, 3M 60293 filters $16.99, both delivered in 3 days from ebay. These filters filter out the sulpher dioxide, the main danger, and a half dozen other nasty things and includes particulate filter. These are the ones that people are using here, but you still have to be careful. People venturing into the affected zones can check them out at the control points to retrieve animals and essentials. I have 2 sets, and will at least buy enough time to evacuate.
3m masks for blocking silica dust asap
Get outta there. Now
Pompeii anyone?
Are these people not concerned about the possibility of a sudden explosion and pyroclastic flow. If that occurs anyone nearby won’t have any chance or time to escape.
ATF intheHouse wrong type of volcano for that flow
Beautiful horses in the field. Be safe all.
SheSusan ... made it clear that it's not God's country .. but Mananpilies country and we are her guests ... ???
God Is the creator of all ..we both know it! She needs to be informed of the truth ..
Is that white horse ok? It seems agitated.
my left ear likes this video.
You need to hire a new audio guy.
Dude: "It's God's country..."
Lady: "It's Pele's country; we're her guests."
Dude: "Ok, not a Christian, you gotta go now, bye!"
Lady: "Asshole. Where's my whiskey?"
Edit: gonna go have a drink now and raise one to the lady in the pink top. Lady, if you read this, I really hope the wind keeps blowing in other directions! Here's to you and your animals!
looks like CGI
praying for everyone
Halimaoomaoomaoo?
