I blame fracking.

Its just Pele. Toss in a dozen or so volupuous bronze skinned beauties and it will behave.

Hawaii passed a law against almost all sunscreens, so don’t worry.

Pele is not a thing, she's a goddess (according to legend).

Wow. Do homeowners there have access to something akin to volcano insurance? 10,000 people under mandatory evac. Yikes.

I’m seeing evacuation figures in various media outlets from 1500 to 10,000. Doesn’t look like local media has updated in a while. Interesting pic from HI EL...

No, throw in a dozen Leftist radical Democrats. It's sure to cause constipation and stop the eruption.

What gets me is the lack of updates from local media. I can see not being live from the scene all night (though if they want to see HI and ad time to a global market, might not be a bad idea when you’ve got interest like this...), but no updates on the hour on your websites, just to keep locals informed? Sheesh.

My last disaster, thank God, was many moons ago, but it was easier to get food and water than accurate info. Apparently even in the internet age, some things don’t change.

Apparently caused by a lack of virgins on the island.

And global warming.

This is where one of those “tiny houses” on wheels comes in handy.

Evacuate with your house.

My first thought was we could throw in a few hundred Democrat congress critters, but that might displease Pele enough to cause a catastrophic explosion!

Talk about indigestible sacrifices!

Nothing is going to make Pele quiet at Kilauea. That volcano is always doing something

LOL, we would have to drop in Al Gore to plug the giant crater sure to form, but that might be the equivalent to a doomsday device!

Hee hee! I’m no geologist, but when it comes to volcanoes, I suspect diarrhea is better than constipation. Though the evacuees might not think so.

Prayers for those folks. This sucks.
