All persons are asked to stay clear of this emergency situation.
The residents of Puna are going through a very difficult time, the Hawaii County Civil Defense said.
Right. 40 houses are destroyed that is really bad, but who gave the permits? Those areas have been hit in the past and were known as unstable. The authorities make a big fuzz – but the air quality isn’t that bad. Instead of enjoying the shelters – people need solutions, funds to move on.
