Oh, Thank Goodness!
I was worried about you, Mr. Surfer, and Master Toby!
Thanks for checking in.
Stay safe.

@quadmimi @SurferWife and to everyone, I'm just fine over here. I live in
Hilo, which is pretty far from the eruption site. The two largest earthquakes
weren't that bad in my home, just my chandelier was swinging a bit. When the
5.9 quake hit, I was at a restaurant with a friend and it felt like a rolling type
of movement, restaurant was fine no damages. Then I got home around 12:15
then at around 12:30 the larger one hit. There were quite a bit of damages
but no homes or buildings collapsing. This eruption is so different from others
that instead of just a flow of lava coming down, it's erupting through long
cracks from the ground with fountains. So far we've lost I believe 5 - 6 homes
as of yesterday.
Yes, evacuation was mandatory in the Leilani Estates area. Lots of people
are at relatives & shelters. My prayers go out to the people of Pahoa
District.
Yup, this is part of living here on the Big Island. But I still love it here.

Great to hear you are okay @AlohaSun. I just got an HNN alert that the latest count is 21 homes destroyed in Leilani Estates.

@SurferWife Everytime I check for updates, the count for homes being
destroyed keeps going up. Since this morning to now it's really taking
peoples home at a fast rate. Yup, count is at 21 as of 5:15pm.
I do have a few friends out that way but are well and in a safe area.
Will keep this board updated. Aloha my friend.

@AlohaSun...I’m thankful you are out of harm’s way. Much Aloha to you, too, my friend. Take good care.

This is just so scary! I live in California, and earthquakes are a part of our culture. I have been through the 1989 quake, and can't imagine the horror of this lava eruption, with earthquakes. This quale was larger and longer than the 89 quake here. I really pray for the people, and for the beautiful island...that this will stop.
