Not to be outdone by
the California Festivals, Hawaii is holding a Volcano Festival that started in
May 2018 and could last for years. This one is on “the big island” of Kilauea.
Land development is
done in Hawaii by volcanos and this one has created 700 acres of new land and
destroyed over 700 homes so far. That’s one home sacrificed for every acre
created.
Native Hawaiians are
again reminded of the Godess Pele, who dwells in the volcano and causes it to
erupt. They attribute the loss of their houses to a sacrifice to Pele.
Kilauea started the
year with 4,028 square miles of land mass.
There are 640 acres per square mile, so the “big island has already
grown to 4.029 square miles over the last 3 months. At that rate it will
continue to grow by 4 square miles a year until Pele decides to take a rest.
California Wildfire
revelers may want to come to Hawaii to see Pele do her thing before this
Volcano Festival ends and then move to Texas.
