Volcano, Volcano, Volcano

I have just returned to Kona after two weeks touring Japan and S. Korea.  Where ever I went when folks asked us where we were from, and we said Hawaii, they immediately asked about the Volcano.  Those of us who have homes on the Big Island are constantly being contacted by friends, relatives and even strangers as to how we are doing in Hawaii in regards to what they have seen in the media.

Those of us who have homes at Hualalai, but have not been here during the major portion of the eruption wondered how our neighbors were fairing, what’s the Vog effect? What’s the earthquake effect?  Are people showing up, are there guests at the hotel?

To that end I’m asking members to share their experiences with us on this blog.  Please let us know how all are faring, so we can share it with our readers.

Yesterday, we went into Kona to Safeway.  As we passed the airport in the afternoon the Vog seemed to worsen.  By the time we reached Safeway the Vog was pretty heavy, not dangerous, but you couldn’t see the ocean.

Today, at Hualalai, we had Vog, but it wasn’t too bad.

Following is an update of what’s happening as of today at Kilauea.
