Last minute evacuation and notification attempts in lava high risk zones

"Lava moving very quickly. Elderly man needs help." ….Farm area.. Couldn't make out the first word before Farm.

I've heard rescue people ordered to turn around due to fast moving lava starting to block roads. I've also hear grown men crying, while trying so hard to get to some who've called for aid. So many calls for heart attacks/chest pains, trouble breathing.

Some police are so hoarse you can hardly understand them.

So heart breaking no matter how you look at it.

I pray they get to him Nutmeg. So many waited until the last minute.

Guess they thought it couldn't happen to them.

Des

Oh wow. Sad. I'm having a difficult time understanding one man...the dispatcher? Strong Hawaiian accent.

Car blocking road.

Pinned!

Sounds like they did all they can in that certain area and had to leave.

"Lava flowing pretty quickly."

More people trying to rescue those trapped by lava.

God Bless them all.

Thank You for Pin Nutmeg!

Hopefully there is someone reading these volcano threads, whom may know someone in very high risk areas, and will contact them to GET OUT NOW!!!

My son-in-law's dad live in the Kona area. He was worried about the earthquakes that were occurring when this all started.

You're welcome!

Son-in-law's dad is a smart man!

Dutch is covering some not very good news on current conditions regarding EQs and lava flows.

Yes it is terrible to realize that they put themselves needlessly in harms way, all the while the situation is escalating.

When I heard them say to be prepared to leave on a moments notice I chuckled. If it blows, isn't that exactly how you will go?

OP have you seen any pics or film from today on the Geothermal plant? And five stars!!

Probably some of them also saw themselves as trapped between a rock and a hard place. Not a whole lot of social connections, a lack of desire to bother people, including friends and family, not set up for (or wanting) homeless visitors.

A financial domino effect too, where losing a residence will destroy an already modest household budget.

Makes me think of the old guy who lived for decades in the shadow of Mt St Helens. He knew there was no option for him beyond staying put and allowing nature to take its course. A form of preferring a "lethal injection" to the horrors of a sadistic, painful "cancer."

People had plenty of time to pack up and leave. They even had time to rent a U haul and move all their belongings. But they didn't. Now other people have to risk their lives because of them.

Reminds me of the stubborn grandma on Dante's Peak.

I don't know how anyone can be in such close proximity to lava and not burn the hell up. You would think the heat from that would be unbearable.

Saved. To be honest, I really am coming to the state of mind, we have a case of selective media blackout in the works.

From the last few pages on the Monster Thread on this event, a few people from FB have posted some pics. But, as far as the power plant I only saw one short vid posted by a military helo operator, that has since had the power plant part of it scrubbed out. I'll keep looking!

Sorry, FB is all I got.

As of 9:53 PM HST, the Fissure 8 lava flow front had advanced across agricultural land to within 1.1 miles of Four Corners (Highway 132/137 intersection).

Only way out after it crosses is boat, air, or 4x4.

Hot Air Balloons???

The heat from the volcano will make the balloons rise faster!

Its teh only ways!!!1

In Yer Neck. Please don't apologize for anything.

I've been reading all of your valuable info you have been posting, in multiple volcano threads.

With the obvious black out on current information, due to fear of dwindling tourist dollars. It's up to people to try their best to help everyone, with any new up to date info.

You are much appreciated!

Des

Sick vultures!

There is "Special Karma" reserved for subhumans like them.

I've been listening to the police scanner.They are really pissed off with the looters pretending to be police, going door to door telling people to leave immediately. Then coming back to loot later.

The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round.

Oh look! Here comes the Karma Bus.

Des

my best friends bro saw this coming and moved to n. fl 1 year ago. too bad you didnt, too.

People are animals!
