A pretty large earthquake has just accompanied the recent volcanic emissions from the Big Island's most interesting dynamic natural display. Stay tuned and alert for more developments.
Good luck to them all there. However, think about it. If you choose to live on a volcanic island with at least one always-active volcano, something bad just might happen.
5.4 is a powerful earthquake for Hawaii. I hope everyone is safe.
Latest one was a 5.7
It’s always a kind of “pick your poison”” sort of thing about where to live
tornadoes
floods
hurricanes
earthquakes
NY, CA, Chicago
downwind from petrochemical plants
etc
Nobody gets out alive
See here: USGS Map Zoomed to Volcano Area
Has anyone found a good webcam with live views? I've been trying the National Park Service and USGS cameras but that are not well sited for the current activity.
this site has access links to various web cams

But for the present time, nothing spectacular like a Mayon type of event is going on...just lava oozing from cracks in the surface. (Typical for this area, I believe)
But still...
downwind from hog farm
M 6.9 - 16km SW of Leilani Estates, Hawaii
Charles Payne on FOX News just reported before his show went off the air at 6:00 PM CDT that it had been upgraded to a 6.0
Now USGS has upgraded it to a 6.9. Wow!
Maybe this will scare all the Hawaiians away...then I can move in...cheap.
...Upper East Tennessee.
Avoid the Big Blue Flash over Oak Ridge
Yikes...sounds ugly.Hopefully the pressure is dissipated and life can return to normal.
I once lived in Los Angeles, not far from where the LA riots happened. Hawaii sounds safer, even with volcanoes.
Most of Wisconsin is fairly safe. We get 2-3 snow storms over 6 inches per year on average and maybe 1-2 tornadoes over a 2500 sq mile area per year. Flooding is also quite rare. But on the other hand Madison is nearby.
The wind would take it south of us.
I think.
Well, what about the Cheese Weevils?
They come every ten years.
If it wasn’t for the good people at Nabisco sending in trainloads of crackers, Wisconsin would look like the Sahara Desert.
...The wind would take it south of us.
...I think.
Safe bet with prevailing NW winds
