Mauna Loa's impending eruption

Some one in alt.coffee asked if the recent to-do about Mauna Loa's impending eruption had any implications for Kona Coffee. My response:
Actually, we are always at risk here in South Kona. 52 years ago, a lava flow came within 10 miles of our farm. The last time a lava flow actually came over this farm was approximately 2500 years ago.

We live, in South Kona, on the slopes of Mauna Loa.

Mauna Loa takes up 53% of this island of Hawaii. When I read the current Volcano report, it indicates that the most probably place for an eruption may be 25 miles south of here, but they don't really know. We don't live in terror. We can't afford that. Coffee is happy out there.

Aloha,
Cea
