My friend is hiking there currently and he told us it was erupting this morning. He says he's in a safe area but still worrisome

Hope he stays safe. All it takes is a wind shift and things can get dangerous really quickly--those fumes are not nice!

It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume. Not with ten thousand men could you do this. It is folly.

I find it suspicious that the volcano hasn't erupted in almost 40 years and it picks the best time to promote Rings of Power for Jeff Bezos just as the media storm is dying down.

We have our honeymoon there in January. Hopefully everyone is safe, and nothing is damaged. Reading up on its last eruption it destroyed parts of Hilo. Where we are supposed to be staying.
