Hang in there Lavarock

Doesn’t look bad at this point but hang in there.

Wish you and all Hawaiians the best.

Thanks.

Over the years I have been very meticulous about how I decided where to buy a house. In Maryland I looked for a house which was neither on top of a hill (lightning) nor at the bottom (flooding). I found one in a development just over the County line (cheaper taxes) and visited the area during the day, a weekend and so on to review the traffic. I also made sure there was a second exit to the development.

So when I decided to move to the middle of the Pacific I had some concerns. We had an active Pacific for weather, hurricanes, tsunamis, wild fires, there could be loss of power, water and so on. I could have lava flowing down, there could be North Korean Missiles (well, that concern came after I moved). Still, lots of unknowns. I chose carefully. The volcano is 45 air miles away and little (but not zero) chance of lava flow to my house. I am almost 1,000 in elevation so tsunamis are not a concern. Even hurricanes are not a threat to me, yet I still pay for hurricane insurance. The rates are pretty low because there has never been a hurricane hit my side of the island in recorded history.

Hurricanes HAVE hit other parts of Hawaii. Remember the Jurrasic Park movie? This Weather Channel item about 9/11 may be of interest to you (yes the Weather Channel). If there is a hurricane, who you gonna call? Not Ghostbusters call Steven Speilberg.

Thank you Lavarock, that was great!

I liked the part that if you are ever in a hurricane, a film crew is the best people to have around!
