Scientists on Mauna Loa raise their advisory level based on increased underground activity


"HVO monitoring instruments have measured ground deformation (inflation) on Mauna Loa that is consistent with recharge of the volcano’s shallow magma storage system. Together, these observations indicate that Mauna Loa is no longer at a background level of activity.”
Keep an eye on this for further developments.
Bright green represents lava flows from 1843 or younger.  I like the flow that almost reaches Hilo.  Were that to happen today...

    We don't want it to wipe out the supply of macadamia nuts. Maybe Pres. Obama could go there and command the lava to stop by standing in front of it?

      I'd like to watch that, especially if he were chained to the ground to prove his commitment.

      We'd need to do something to make sure that the efite man with the big ears remained in place. He has a history with ignoring his red lines.

    Perhaps it would be appropriate to plant him there.
