Get your offer in quick.  That particular market is on fire.  It'll be a rock solid investment soon. 


From that article:

“Also over the weekend, lava apparently evaporated Green Lake, which was the largest freshwater lake in the islands. By about 10 a.m. Saturday, lava had crawled into Kapoho Crater, creating a huge steam plume when it hit Green Lake.

The plume had ceased by 1:30 p.m. and an aerial assessment revealed the lava appeared to have filled the lake and evaporated all the water. Green Lake is believed to be four centuries old, and at least one study put its depth at 200 feet in spots.”

Hory shit

Pele was thirsty

"Hey honey, let's buy a lot on top of a volcano.  What could possibly go wrong?"

Imagine how good the fishing was on the opposite side of the flow as the lake grew smaller. Rippin' lips?

Gonna have to rename it to Lava Lake.

Or lava parking lot.......

I don't think we need a separate volcano board (yet), and not even a thread for every active volcano.....
So I'll put these photos of the Guatemala volcano in this thread, and thereby declaring it the meta-volcano thread!

These are photos from a guy I went to HS with, he has worked on courses around the world, including the La Reunion course in Guatemala.
Here are the before & after photos he sent showing their clubhouse and you will also notice that course isn't going to green up any time soon.

The whole course looks like a sand trap. I'm thinking that I couldn't hit par.

Yeah.... that shit takes a left turn and those fuckers wouldn’t even know they were fried dumbass.  

So, if I'm riding in that helicopter, how much ambient heat do I feel from that lava flow?

That is what I was thinking.  Waaaay too close for comfort given the unpredictability factor.

 

Also, total agreement on the 'Holy Shit' factor.  Wow.

Yeah, but think about how well those greens are going to drain. Once the grass takes.

Hey lets get on a tour boat and go see the lava flowing into the ocean!

What could go wrong?

At least 13 people on a Hawaiian Lava Boat Tours vessel were injured this morning after an explosion sent lava through the roof of the boat’s passenger cabin. Officers from the DLNR Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement (DOCARE) along with the Hawai‘i County Police Dept. are investigating the incident.

The tours ...depart from the Wailoa Small Boat Harbor in Hilo at 4 a.m. daily. Prior to the beginning of the East Rift Zone Eruption event, tours left from the Pohoiki Boat Ramp, which now is within ½ mile of the active ocean entrance.

Mauna Loa started erupting yesterday for the first time since 1984.

This is a pic from this morning of the airbnb (the little white lights) that I was staying at last Monday at this time.  Would have been cool to see!
