I’m pretty sure the volcano cares not one wit about a hurricane. It would be like a fight between Mike Tyson and a four year old.

Precisely.

A hurricane is a -surface- (atmospheric) disturbance. It can do tremendous damage -- to the surface -- for a day or two (any one location, like the Big Island).

A volcano is an outpouring of the -interior- of the earth. It can go on indefinitely -- this one has been going on continuously for months. A volcano taps an unimaginably huge reservoir of magma. There's simply no comparison in the amount of energy available.

The water in the storm may cool the surface of the most recent lava flows but it won't stop anything -- the lava laughs at puny hurricanes.
