The Mt Pinatubo eruption happened simultaneously with a typhoon and it dumped a ton of wet volcanic mud on people's roofs which collapsed. Pinatubo was also a huge stratovolcanic eruption unlike what Hawaii gets.

Being overzealous the first thing I did when the team entered the room was to start pouring water on it before the game could tell me not to do that.

Yup. Insurance is fine because risk pooling is a good thing. The issue is that, because capitalism, it's primarily a way to shovel money into some rich guy's pockets.

Memento posted:The volcanism happening right now is kind of the least of their worries. The massive seismic events they're experiencing indicate that the magma chamber that is venting right now is enormous, so the poo poo spewing out of the earth is only going to get significantly worse. Probably not for structures. Definitely not for land. Ensuing fire losses may be covered - not from direct lava but sparks, flame firebrands.

USGS interferogram from around 3pm Hawai'ian time indicates the potential rift is pretty drat long The Kilauea summit is deflating as the magma finds a path of lower resistance to go into. The eruptions at the moment are around the star, and you can draw a line from the word East through Rift and then to Zone and see that it's all lifting up along that line. Potential rift is ~35km long, magma will probably find several places along there to vent out of and the other parts will deflate slightly.

My mom's friend is in the path of the volcano in Hawaii. This is a Facebook Live video he did. He doesn't go inside until lava starts splattering on the roof right in front of him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqsNVzfswB4

Business Owners Policies and Commercial Property Policies include it as well. Volcanic eruption is specifically listed on HO-1 and it includes lava flow. Cleanup is at your own cost however, and that is what is going to gently caress these people over. https://www.iii.org/press-release/hawaii-homeowners-renters-and-businesses-owners-have-coverage-for-lava-flow-damage-says-iii-103014

https://twitter.com/kenhrubin/status/993047451345928198 I think this is actually the 9th fissure, near the south end of where they're opening. USGS map for ~13 hours ago in the tweet below. https://twitter.com/janinekrippner/status/992894648640262144 Moving steadily south as the magma wells up and tries to meet up with the main vent to the southwest.
