It begets a question....
Who would write insurance on anything on that island? From title insurance to basic car insurance...you’d have to be nuts
See the blob in the middle? As far as I can tell, this was never reported, per se. The media was obsessed with “new fissures”, and although this might have been one, it was right on top of F2, I think. Maybe it was F8. Of course, its remarkable feature is the huge area it covered. AFAICT, this transpired within a day, and consituted maybe 90% of the lava flow area in Leilani Estates.
Yet, AFAICT, it was never reported as such. It was never given any specific recognition as the single event that consituted 90% of the fissure lava flows.
I noticed it by comparison of thermal imaging on May 5, and May 7, when this feature appeared.
As it stands, this only reinforces my impression of the mindlessness of the news reporting in general, for which there is other evidence, of course.
I certainly welcome any correction.
Interesting.
