Years ago I was on the big isle and drove up to a flow that crossed

The road. It was solid black, but was emitting some intense heat. I can imagine how hot the flow was on the video.

I also found a “black” beach and you couldn't walk on it with bare feet. The suface was like broken glass and would cut up you feet.

Friend of mine moved to Hawaii a few years a ago. The house he was renting -- SavannaHokie 05/07/2018 12:35AM

That lava flow looks to range from about 4 to 6 feet in height. ** -- MikeVT85 05/07/2018 1:20PM

Not sure a particle filter mask will help if poisionous gas is present. -- EDGEMAN 05/07/2018 12:16PM

Its amazing video -- Naelbis 05/07/2018 11:44AM

That was a beautiful place. What was the rent? ** -- RhinoVT 05/07/2018 10:59AM

Wow. Did people have enough time to get any stuff out of the house? -- GFallsFan 05/07/2018 08:22AM

I don't think so. My friend was in the process of moving back to Georgia -- SavannaHokie 05/07/2018 10:59AM

Mother Nature. Still undefeated. Awe inspiring video. ** -- dolph 05/07/2018 07:40AM

Damn renters have no respect for property -- Vienna_Hokie 05/07/2018 07:22AM

That sucks but its also kindof amazing. ** -- psychobilly 05/07/2018 01:04AM

Wow, what is the insurance situation on this? -- MrBayAreaHokie 05/07/2018 01:00AM

Technically wouldn't -- RTFC 05/07/2018 4:16PM

I've read that neighborhood is a Lava "Zone 1" which means, it's a matter -- jmanatVT 05/07/2018 08:47AM

If it were me, I'd "build" a mobile home (and leave the wheels on) ** -- JoesterVT 05/07/2018 09:07AM

Cheap land, build cheaply, get 30-50 years out of it and enjoy the day. ** -- `lag 05/07/2018 09:06AM

Land is cheaper in the projected lava flow regions. -- EDGEMAN 05/07/2018 10:24AM

I have no idea on the insurance. I'll assume it's like Flood Insurance -- SavannaHokie 05/07/2018 01:12AM

Except that flood insurance is subsidized by the government ** -- Hokie360 05/07/2018 09:20AM

I'm reading maybe but it would be incredibly expensive, so probably no. ** -- `lag 05/07/2018 06:56AM

Wonder if they knew they were on/near a rift? Prob'ly so but... -- `lag 05/07/2018 08:47AM
