Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano Erupts, Prompting Evacuation Orders (chicagotribune.com)
"Hawaii's Kilauea volcano erupted Thursday, releasing lava into a residential neighborhood and prompting mandatory evacuation orders for nearby homes," reports Chicago Tribune. The eruption comes after officials had been warning residents all week that an eruption was possible and that they should be prepared to evacuate. From the report: Hawaii County said steam and lava poured out of a crack in Leilani Estates, which is near the town of Pahoa on the Big Island. Leilani Estates has a population of about 1,500, according to the 2010 U.S. Census. But the evacuation order only covers a portion of the neighborhood. Nearby community centers have opened for shelter. The Puu Oo crater floor began to collapse Monday, triggering a series of earthquakes and pushing the lava into new underground chambers. The collapse caused magma to push more than 10 miles downslope toward the populated southeast coastline of the island.
Assault volcanoes should be banned!
Especially assault volcanoes with extended magma chambers.
So how does tech support fix this?
Surely you mean INCOMING NUKES. This is the Hawaii emergency management agency we're talking about.

If by that you mean "stop annexing the sovereign nation of Hawaii", then that is actually a pretty good plan. Maybe you could give back the rest of the US to its native people while you're at it.
Everything you want to know about DEX but where always affraid to ask.
Throw all the Kanakas into the caldera. Problem solved.
I'm a big fan of Dr. William Pierce. A truly brilliant man.
Oh good, it's not just me.
I get a stiffy every time a page doesn't load because I blocked a nefarious HOST
Extended magma chambers? Like Chris Reimer's legs?
Go away, Ukrainian troll!
1. How is this remotely related to technology?
2. PART of ONE neighbourhood received an evacuation order... and this is world-newsworthy HOW??
3. How the fuck does MAGMA flow on the SURFACE??? We are nerds, remember.
4. This is local news to Big Island, Hawaii. And our story is from... a Chicago newspaper? WTF.
Is the whole point of this post so that neckbeards can make "Puu oo" jokes?
Take off every 'sig' !!
Do not forget to take a break every several hours.

This is undoubtedly fallout from Mozilla's decision to kill off XUL plugins. Many innocent Hawaiians caught in the crossfire.

Hawaii isn't sovereign, they're a state and due to their strategic position they were going to be somebody's territory regardless. As things panned out, they got full statehood - they really shouldn't be bitching because had any other nation taken it they would have just slaughtered the inhabitants. Honestly though, they shouldn't even be a state but an occupied territory like Guam or Puerto Rico.
Which native people should we give it back to? The "first nations" had this nasty habit of slaughtering/conquering each other. Kinda like people did everywhere. Hawaiian tribes had the same habit. Shouldn't the "sovereign nation of Hawaii" also give the land back to the previous tribes they conquered?
Only, each one gets to define "doing right" on their own.
The eastern side of the big island is not the rich area. It rains a lot and there are no sandy beaches. Hell, you can buy land there for 20k an acre.
Sorry, teleporters just kill you and then make a copy. A perfect, soul-less copy.
These all happen in Hawaii. Sooner or later, chance dictates that they will all occur at the same time. That would be a bad day to be on the island.
Give it back to the Marquesas.
You won't find Trump supporters who want war - he was elected to stop wars and focus on rebuilding our nation.
Hate much?
My sister-in-law (born and raised in Hawaii) lives in Puna and is about as poor as you can get. Our cousin’s son owns a home in Leilani which he inherited and can barely afford to keep up.
It’s usually a bad idea to paint everyone with the same brush of hate.
Let the ma speak for himself!
He's already enough of a joke like that.
You misspelled American.
Yes, even if he would be from the Ukraine.
Cause PROTIP: Swoboda is a US troupe. (With EU backing too.)
They were recruited, trained and paid by the US military/CIA in Poland.
For the usual reason: Because the opposition is the exact same thing but Russian. Which somehow, according to troglodyte logic, makes imitating it OK.
Same game like with every country around the Russian border. Russia and the US playing dick size comparizon on the backs of the locals.
Nevermind the actual non-puppet Ukranians, who have zero say in this.
They *were* a sovereign nation. Just like pretty much all of America before the European invations and genocides.
Not that I would blame you for the actions of your ancestors. Of course this is your home now too.
But I blame you for still talking and "thinking" (not really ... more like parroting)
So some rich fucks get lavatized. No big fucking deal. They made their money exploiting the colored man and the environment, now the environment is having its revenge. Fuck those haoles.
You do know that the "native" Hawaiians themselves claim that there were people living there when they got there, and they "drove them away" which means killing them, right? Fuck everyone. The rest of the life on the planet will be a lot better off without brown people or white people.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
Hurricanes don't happen to Hawaii. Hurricanes are specific to the Atlantic. In the Pacific they're called typhoons.
Hurricane: Atlantic Ocean and northeastern Pacific Ocean
Typhoon: Northwestern Pacific Ocean
Tropical Cyclone: South Pacific or Indian Ocean.
Hawaii is in the NE Pacific, so it does get hit by hurricanes.

yeah that's why he's bombing syria and paying off porn stars, we got it

Hilo is not filled with rich haole. I grew up as a poor haole on O`ahu.

Hawaii was "discovered" multiple times. I remember stories of the Menehune - an earlier race who inhabited the Islands, often portrayed as Hawaiian Leprechauns. The last non-European colonials came from Tahiti which is why Captain Cook was able to communicate with them.

Ewa and Iniki were called hurricanes, though it might have something to do with Hawai`i being part of the USA. Hurricane Iniki still frequents my dreams.
I think you will find he was elected to not be Hillary.
He bombed an empty building in Syria and called it a win to get Israel to stop bitching about fake gas victims.
Please stop calling this an eruption. Kilauea has been erupting continuously since 1983. This is not a new eruption. This is a new rift, a new spot that lava comes out of the ground. There have been a number of these over the course of the ongoing eruption.
The eruption isn't over until the lava lake at the summit hardens and stops.
Moderating "-1, Disagree" is simple censorship. Have the guts to post your opinion.
The difference is cultural, not geographical. We can call them hurricanes.
Holy crap! This is some mighty white racist thinking right here!
Trump is a hand grenade america tossed at washington.
On purpose. Made sure everyone saw us pull the pin too.
Because fuck you.
(the royal you. not you.)
Slashdot continues to go downhill. I'm getting so sick of this...
Maybe you could give back the rest of the US to its native people while you're at it.
Too late. We've interbred. Now they're us and we're them.

BRB -- I gotta go get audited.
They have had forever to fix this volcano and have do nothing. Time to give Republicans a chance! #MAGA
They just had a 6.9 magnitude earthquake. Next up, the Tsunami...
