“How about those people in Kilauea, Hawaii, who build their homes right next to an active volcano…and then wonder why they have lava in the living room?”In the case of Leilani Estates, they built right on top of the eastern rift zone, and even inside a crater that could have reactivated (and did).

“In the case of Leilani Estates, they built right on top of the eastern rift zone, and even inside a crater that could have reactivated (and did).”
Watched a documentary about that earlier this morning.
165 houses and 100 miles of paved road destroyed. 30,000 acres covered in lava and one billion cubic feet of lave ejected.
George Carlin was right about lave in people’s living rooms.
