Something on the island is always erupting and the island is crowned by the world's largest active volcano but Kilauea gave only a few days warning that something big was coming.
Some eruptions give months of clear warnings while this was just "Surprise, motherfuckers. Have some lava."

There are some rules. There is a special pooled insurance fund some property owners in the area have.
Your home has to actually catch fire and burn down and you have to have photo or video proof. If the lava pushes it down or inundates it, you get nothing.

Thank you for doing this.
Big island and Kilauea've got a special place in my heart.

Do you live out there? Are you okay?
I lived in Kona for a couple years.

Good luck! Try to stay safe.
...When the island grows, who gets the new land?

I disregarded this a nonsense, then woke up to an alert you were correct. GL

Thank you, Le_Squish. Your posts are the only reason I subscribed to v/thebigisland.
Mayor of Honululu arrested.... Stolen car in Kilawah.... At last you have something to say. This is what the 48 have been waiting for.

Thank you. I figure someone might enjoy some mundane island happening or some unusual ones.
