How many of you have been following the unfolding volcanic drama coming out of Hawaii?
22 fissure eruptions and counting, no signs of it slowing down anytime soon, with fears of main residential arteries being cut off with little or no warning. Many forced to evacuate with only the clothes on their backs and the contents of their pockets. 40+ structures toasted so far. My understanding is that very few (if any) of these homeowners policies will cover volcanic events, as these structures are built directly over Kilauea's east RIFT ZONE and were already deemed at a high risk from fissure eruptions. One wonders what made these people decide to build on the flanks of the "world's most active volcano".
