We’re fine @Drythe! We live on O’ahu. Kilauea is on the Big Island (Hawai’i Island). I’m not sure what Island our other HI WEN girls live on, though. @AlohaSun...are you okay?

@SurferWife

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.
