Building a home near an active volcano maybe wasn’t the best idea.
So, if Pele eats your house, does that mean she owes you a favor?
'Cause I know a couple of choice spots that would really be improved by a volcano.
Someone forgot to sacrifice to Pele in time to save the house. It’s her protection racket.
Jeezopeet, Mangosteen! That wasn’t your place, was it?
No, my place is quite far from there.
Well. . . I went to high school on the windward side in the 80s, and Kalapana and Kaimu are (were) not really “close” to the volcano, but rather the volcano came to them, and ate most of those subdivisions in 1989/90 and onwards. Hundreds of houses. Was this once new, or a random survivor from back then? I mean, we might just consider anyone building on the Big Island nuts by extension.
