Hi this is Dennis I'm in Hawaii now. all very interesting. Dave's house is
still standing but there is a giant 300-foot lava geyser less than a mile away.
It Roars like a jet at the airport the air smells of sulfur I can feel the heat
from the thing Easley half mile away the ground shakes and there's a pretty
constant rain of small to fist-sized rocks of pumice like stuff. It's black
like lava but it crushes under your feet and in your hands you just crush it so
there's a constant rain but it doesn't damage the roofs or anything it's just
bizarre. Yesterday afternoon Dave got an alert on his phone that his house is
now in it permanent mandatory evacuation so at this moment he is going to say
goodbye to his home. We spent the last 2 days moving a lot of furniture out and
he'll be moving into my new home which is about 12 miles away and at that
distance you you would never know any of this is going on.It is important for
people to know that the island of Hawaii, the Big Island, is the size of
Connecticut and all this volcanic stuff is a tiny tiny little slice of the
whole island. It is still Paradise.Dave has lava insurance and is fully
covered. He still plans to buy a different house here. Most of the houses that
are burning can be covered under their homeowners as fire insurance.I'm flying
home a couple of days early because I did all my business here 4 house that I
needed to do, and the mandatory evacuation that was declared yesterday kind of
puts a crimp in things.More later

Thanks Gerald. Tell Denis to keep us posted. National news makes that
situation look really bad.

Dave's house was still standing at last communication. About 1000 yards
from the flow.
Denis' initial house prospect went POOF!
Dave and the realtor found Denis another place ... outside the lava
field area. Denis is supposed to be going to see it on one last short
trip before the permanent move.
Denis' old house is closed on. He can stay there until July 1st. He
can't actually move to Hawaii until September 9th when the Dawg has hit
the 120 day post-vaccine point. He is working on the logistics of being
homeless for 2 months. I think he said an extended camping trip sounds
like fun.
