Regarding the current Kilauea eruption; any movement in the Hilina Slump? Do you see any current cause for concern for catastrophic landslide/tsunami action there?

Admittedly, the 6.9 earthquake a couple weeks ago has left a few of us who watch too much TV... Shaken.

Fantastic. Thanks for the article.

That sounds like a terrible idea. Lol

Mainly because of the sheer size of the tsunami generated by the Hilina Slump (or similarly-sized area) collapsing. That's like 30 miles of coastline sliding into the ocean. The wave, locally, would be hundreds of feet high and reach Honolulu in less than 30 minutes.

Evidence of these monster landslides are visible on the ocean floor all around the Hawaiian Islands, suggesting these type of events have occurred several times in the distant past.

I'm on Oahu... And such an event would be a problem for here as well... Probably the west coast of the mainland, too.
