DONT BELIEVE ALL THE HAWAII NEWS! PT2 TRAVELERS JOURNAL EP#039 w/ @bambam808 & @brandybb !!
As I discussed in PT1 of this Hawaii News the Big Island has an active volcanic flow that is taking over the southeast parts of the island. (If you have not read part 1 please catch up below)
So, what am I saying? The sun is out and the weather is beautiful as always out here. There is a bit more VOG (Volcanic Smog) than usual which can affect some people worse than others. This flow has been going for years now, I can attest to this as a Big Island BOY! (while I dont live there now, I have both parents and much family spread throughout the Various islands.)
DONT BELIEVE THE NEWS PART1 (for those who want to catch up)
Yes, the volcano on the south east side of the Big Island has begun flowing... This is all about where they want to point the camera folks... YES the volcano is flowing, BUT it also has BEEN flowing for several years now, Slowly taking over the smaller towns and areas located in Puna and Volcano Hawaii.
So what I am trying to say is yes, pray for those people who are in that area of the island. Hold hope for them, BUT this is not some major life changing OMG Hawaii is BLOWING UP! type of situation. This is just another part of daily life living on an ACTIVE volcano. With this said, I do not mean to downplay the severity of the situation for the 1-2% of the BIG ISLAND population who are dealing with this situation. But like I said, this is very small part of the island, AND this has already been happening for years now slowly.
Please pray for those PUNA Folks, but dont cancel your RESERVATIONS! Hawaii needs TOURISM to rebuild for these unfortunate people. Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Travelers Journal!
