Hūi!!! You folks...
Still going... And our lives continue. Took a break yesterday and spent time erranding in Hilo. And our native kou are in bloom. And friends helped me gather. And two lei were strung. And we used ʻili hau I processed. And the lei kou were gifted to two women. And one...her dad planted a kou tree in their yard in Hāna decades ago. And she, a stranger, knew what the pua were and commented on them as they were being strung. And she was adorned. And tears welled. And we were strangers no longer. And the other went to a kind gentle friend. And she was surprised. And there was no occasion. And Iʻll share a photo of the lei when I get it. And there was aloha shared. And thatʻs how we manage...
And I got it...mahalo piha, cw:
Looks like Pele is getting busier in Keahialaka. Remember to look at the HVO Photos & Video. They have informative captions, and of course the imagery is excellent.

Weʻll start at Puna ma kai this morning:
According to HVO, magma (lava thatʻs still in the ground) in the ERZ (East Rift Zone) is steady state. No big inflation or deflation. Kinda makes me nervous. If the faucet is just left on...but maybe Halemaʻumaʻu is still draining downrift...or something. Just gotta wait and see. Because Pele will work till she moves on to another project.
Her ʻōlaʻi down there are quite low key. Again, oia mau nō...
HVO Photos & Video has aerial images you can try correlate with the map below.
And at 741a we just had (another) gentle shake. So so so many of them. But what you going do???
Letʻs go up the hill...
to the foggy gentle rains of the rain forest... When I used to work the Entrance Station at The Park, on rainy days a frequent question would be "Does it always rain here?". Never ever on those gorgeously brilliant sunny days would anyone ask "Is it always sunny here?". Expectations...
Summit region ʻōlaʻi are scattershot. Again, making the bed comfortable during a time when magma is apparently draining from under Halemaʻumaʻu. Iʻm becoming accustomed to the spread out little red dots. I think.
The 741a was a shallow 3 or so near HVO. If you go to the HVO Seismic page, and play with the + and - at the upper left corner, and click and mousedrag the image around, and hover the cursor over the list of visible quakes to look at specific ones, of course all in turn, youʻll perhaps gain a bit of understanding of whatʻs happening where.

And the trades still blow, and we remain grateful for that.
And The Media...the media continues to sensationalize, not apparently knowing or caring that their quips and HEADLINES are wreaking havoc and destruction on our economy. Way worse than what Pelehonuamea and her pele are doing. What an incredibly sad state of affairs.
This is what many see, and seemingly believe, sent me by a friend:
Kinda short today, but letʻs leave it at that...
As always, with aloha,

Mahalo nui for the lei. When my kāne came home last night, he asked what the occasion was and I told him that it was a simple gift, offered by a friend. His response, "Cool. Hey, is that kou?" and we were off on a discussion of his favorite lei.
ReplyDeleteI donʻt remember so much seismic action when Puʻu ʻŌʻō first began. Then again, I was nine so my memory isnʻt always the clearest about those events, too.
Mahalo for the updates. Ke aloha nui.
