Hawaii classic or dud

I have a friend about ten minutes from the lava line (?) who is OK so far, but yikes

i'm in town and thus plenty safe; guiltily rly enjoyed the 10/10 sunrise this morning. my thoughts to yr friend sleeve!

from a local perspective what's freaking me out isn't the eruption but all these quakes. nothing a californian would change the subject for i'm sure (well unless he had reason to worry pressurized molten rock might burst from underneath his subdivision), but pretty unusual here. you sure don't feel in control, huh.

Nope, always a little disorienting.

i've been wondering myself if plates shifting over there can disturb plates over here

6.9 around an hour ago

"It has now become unnerving," resident Carol Shepard told KHON.

6.9 around an hour ago

It was felt in Honolulu, ~250 miles away!

I can only remember this volcano's name because it sounds like killer whale :-/

hang in there

You shouldn't be smoking outside.

Holy crap. I didn't realize they felt it in Oahu. This with the false missile alert and the floods. Ugh.

called in sick to work yesterday, arrived today to find that the backup projectionist had not seen the note (addressed to me) warning me to remove the ad slide for our upcoming "comedy ERUPTION!" event, thus causing complaints at last night's movie-- which was the death of stalin, so i'm not rly sure i'm willing to take the offended seriously.

Are you the person that used to work at Turtle Bay?

We had at very close 5.1 a couple of days ago. It was loud. I have been in an 8 point something before. These things suck even knowing to expect them or to wake up to shaking in the middle of the night.

nah we've had/still have a few hawaii-based ilxors (was that gr80?)-- i just tech at a theatre in hilo.

and yeah standards are low here but notgonnalie that 6.9 was scary.

not at all nice.

saw that this morning, it just eats right through it

Terrifying yet gorgeous all the same.

Is that R2D2, just waiting there, watching his car burn?

It's a p nice touch, that.

okay what is it about this thread that makes me do that

o well shouldn't have hotlinked anyway.

I think I found the guy who owned the R2D2

he's doing that thing eleven does with her hands

it's true, she does do that a lot

new thread idea

Other Hawaii news: This is the cloudiest year I have ever seen here and Honolulu feels like I'm living in a warmer Minneapolis (which is overcast all the time). Not complaining, I love this weather.

USGS alert increased from orange to red?

We no sked 'em

couldn't find the right screencap of the construction foreman in majora's mask: "cowards! let it fall!"

after that plume yesterday even the town smells like sulfur

Kilauea is erupting:

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/hawaii-volcano-kilauea-eruption-update-today-2018-05-17-live-stream-updates/

at this point i think we'd prefer a big trad eruption at halemaumau to these constant random explosions elsewhere in the system / constant subliminal earthquakes / constant air degradation / constant people wanting to tell you exactly how high the apocalyptic wave would be if the east rift zone went. taking these last two big ash plumes as a good sign? the mountain seems to need to clear its throat. nb i don't know anything about anything.

i keep thinking whoever i'm with farted

They may have though

That photo of 30s dudes playing golf in the shadow of the ash is fake, right?

bummer how much stuff we've routinely visited on the Big Island is getting destroyed - RIP Ahalanui Warm Water Pond, Kapoho tide pools :(

pele teaches us life is change

the boiling sunset-red clouds over pahoa, lit from below in otherwise pitch-dark night skies, are something else, btw

pele otm

heading to dry side of the Big Island tomorrow morning

! how long for? i need an excuse for go kona cuz i have store credit to clear at the island's single remaining medium-sized bookstore

Til the 11th, currently stuck on the tarmac tho >:(

hope they're serving pog

Fuckin United, so no

dlh - sorry I missed ya, looks like we cross-ilx e-mailed each other lol. in any event, trip was fraught with intruding unforeseen circumstances, both kids got sick in succession (fevers, etc.) and then as soon as they were better I promptly injured myself at the beach and had to go to urgent care in Waimea so um yeah. Island is still beautiful though!
