The biggest mountain on Earth explodes…
The biggest mountain on Earth, Mauna Loa, explodes, but more people are watching sports than noticing it.
We live in a world with so much digital distraction, on any given day we don’t know half of what is happening.
We moved from the Big Island just over five months ago; it is always very dynamic. Our Pahoa family (parents) home was buried in lava in 2018.
Yawn.
With the world being so distracted right now, it seems too much is happening all at once for anyone to notice the one billion perturbations of geology that helps drive all our lives.
A super-volcano event could counter climate heating with global cooling, but don’t count on it. It’s better to rely on human beings to make a difference.
One thing that really hits home during a disaster, is the vast difference between community support and our insurance corporations. There is also our official paid support by our taxes, FEMA, CDC, etc. and other such entities. They tend to be poorly funded and organized; people do not always see them as heroes.
