Hilo will be fine. Of course if one has property or vacation plans to the south....
Hawaii volcanoes are mostly just lava - they don’t have the large amounts of water involved that causes explosive ones that toss ten thousand feet into the air. Not so say that pockets of water won’t affect local areas (like a block or so with large boulders) - but the main issue is the lava flowing over one’s property and into one’s house.
The islands are moving on a plate heading to the north. The underground “hotspot” is stationary, so the activity will continue towards the south. (Hilo has already passed over the hotspot - a million years or whatever ago.) A new island will someday form to the south.
Thanks to you both.
I worry.
He is SUCH a nice guy.
In my mind, I see Pompeii, if that explains things a bit.
