Yes. And I'm sure it's plugged in.

It depends on where you live.

For residents of Leilani estates, pretty bad. The first dozen fissures opened in the middle of the development and swallowed a couple dozen houses. Police are trying to protect people, but they're stretched thin, so there's quite a bit of looting and some squatting going on in the area. in Seaview, the SO2 levels are a little higher than the Maui Incident Management Team has been willing to work in outside of emergency calls, and the only road out is directly in the path of the current flow. Personally, I'm only suffering from a water shortage, as the big 6.9 earthquake last Friday ruptured my catchment tank and I haven't been able to get it repaired yet.

People have suggested water cannons, digging flow trenches, and making barriers to direct the flow, but these aren't likely to happen: Pele, the volcano goddess, is one of the most sacred deities in Hawaiian culture, and it's generally understood in the community that she does and takes what she wants. Suggesting that she can be controlled is pretty offensive to a lot of people. All we're doing now is trying to keep people safe.

No. I always tuck my dingle dangle in my shirt.
