For heavens sake, this story repeats itself every so many years. Why they built under a volcano to begin is something that I don't get. Oh, the land was cheap. Well it only takes a single flow in a span of 50 years to wipe you off the map.
They say he was staying at his "other home" so at least he's not having to start over with nothing. He seemed ok with what's happened. I suppose he might have expected it.
I guess the land it still his...it's just a little blacker and higher now - and harder.
I hope poor Jack has somewhere else to go.
ReplyDeleteJack is OK ?
ReplyDeleteIt must be interesting to live in an area where there are still volcanoes Cloudia.
ReplyDeleteMy kids thought that was amazing watching the hot Lava coming down the road.
ReplyDeleteThe Volcanoes are extinct over here in Australia.
I hope Jack is Ok.

...proof we just never know what the day may bring....or take. Best of luck to Jack.
ReplyDeleteHow sad, but amazing stuff flowing where it wants to go, all mad with fire. DrumMajor
ReplyDeleteI feel sad for Jack. But at least he does have another home. (I thought I heard the announcer say.)
ReplyDeleteNot so easy letting go of our possessions.
It is said, that rare things tend to search for alike.
ReplyDeleteThat's so sad. Jack is a very strong man to have stayed so long, knowing the future of his home was uncertain.
ReplyDeletethe fireworks finale for the Honolulu Festival was spectacular. Saw it from the stairwell in my building due to tonight's drizzle.
