Threatened by lava of the Volcano, many residents of the Hawaiian village of Pahoa have fled leaving behind their homes and businesses. Crime has picked up sense people have abandoned their homes and it's said that thieves are driving during the day breaking into homes sometimes more than once. Lava from Kilauea Volcano was about 70 yards from the closest home today and is moving at about 5 yards per hour. Many of the business are taking extra precautions just in case the lava engulfs the entirety of the small town.
I would hate to see this natural disaster destroy this entire town. It would take people's jobs, houses, shops and they'd possibly have to start over. This shows the effect that nature has on our daily lives and how it requires us to adapt to it. It reminds me of how the colonists were forced to adapt to the new land and do what they could with it, considering all they had. I hope that the people in this Hawaiian village don't lose everything they've worked to achieve for this town.

This is scary. I have been in a situate not a hurricane, but not a volcano and it is scary. Quentin Noble 2
ReplyDeleteWe cannot do anything to prevents natural disasters but we can ready ourselves for anything by being informed about what may happen and under what circumstances to act. I'm glad however that people were unharmed even if the city was covered.
