[quote:Rose8:MV8zODg0ODA1XzY5OTkwNzk5XzlCNjVFNzc2] (ty Paranoiaaaaa!) [b]Hawaii Should Prepare for Hurricane Hector[/b] "Some are concerned what impact a landfalling hurricane can have on an active volcano. USGS’s Hawaii Volcano Observatory (HVO) scientists tell us the intensity of the eruption is so great that weather won’t impact it. However, [b]heavy rain pouring onto the lava flow field can create unique problems.[/b] Hawaii Volcano Observatory geologist Janet Babb tells us that heavy rain on the flow field could create white-out conditions with zero visibilities as the hot lava vaporizes the rainfall into a dense steam cloud. Babb tells us that such zero-visibility would occur in the existing hazard area where people should not be anyway. HVO geochemist Tamar Elias described to us how [b]the steam rising from the lava flow is more dangerous than the steam you’d find in your bathroom shower.[/b] “There is a difference between the steam produced in your shower and the steam produced from a heavy rain event interacting with molten lava on the flow field.[b] The steam generated on the lava flow field will be very acidic[/b] – and the hot acidic steam, would be more hazardous than the steam from your shower.” Elias added, “In low wind conditions, the steam could accumulate adjacent to the lava flows, which is the area of highest hazard. Heeding the Civil Defense warnings and closures is especially important if heavy rain is interacting with molten lava on the flow field. The impact of an acid steam plume is local in nature – since as soon as the plume moves away from the lava flow, it cools down. The primary impacts to more distant communities is from the volcanic emissions themselves.” Beyond the acidic steam, acid rain is also a concern Elias tells us. “[b]Acid rain can also be generated when rain falls through the acidic gas and particle plume generated by the eruption[/b].”..."

The 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th are going to be very bad days ahead for Hawaii...and not just big island.
Rev Woo-Woo...you better gear up love...
What I'm showing is that the 9th is when it really hits Big Island...Hilo, LERZ, dropping around 8" of rain onto Fissure 8. Phreatic reaction much? Winds topping around 100mph around Hilo and the North entry areas.
The 9th through 10th, we're looking at around 6" (15.24cm) the first day and TWENTY inches (50.8cm) on the tenth.
First, we have massive inundation on Fissure 8. Also massive water weight on the already unstable slump. Next, we have serious flash flooding on Maui which already dealt with that a few months ago from just 12". Now closer to 25" coming.

This is very grim.
