Hawaiian Volcano Observatory monitors Mauna Loa as seismic activity perks up

HILO >> Scientists on the Big Island are monitoring increased activity surrounding Mauna Loa volcano.
The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory is closely monitoring Mauna Loa because conditions have risen to levels comparable to a more active period between 2014 and 2017, The Hawaii Tribune-Herald reported Sunday.
It is too early to predict possible outcomes of Mauna Loa’s activity, according to Tina Neal, the observatory’s scientist-in-charge.
“An eruption could be anywhere from months to years away,” Neal said. “But we do know that it’s not days or weeks away.”
There have been increased earthquakes and ground deformation around Mauna Loa’s summit, she said.
Earthquakes on Mauna Loa dropped to fewer than five a week in early 2018, but there have been up to 90 earthquakes weekly since August, with most considered mild at magnitude 2.0 or less on the Richter scale, Neal said.
Gas monitoring equipment at Mauna Loa’s summit has not detected any emerging fumes, she said.
“The most important thing is that there is no cause for alarm,” Neal said.
A Kilauea Volcano eruption last year destroyed more than 700 homes from May through August. Kilauea’s current alert status is “Normal.”
The Kilauea eruption came shortly after a decrease in volcanic activity at Mauna Loa, but Neal said there is no “perfect correlation” between the volcanoes indicating one always becomes active as the other falls silent.
However, there is some geological basis to suggest a pattern, and Mauna Loa’s increased activity “would test that hypothesis,” Neal said.

SMALL FARMERS & RANCHERS CAN STILL GET THEIR WATER IF ACT 126 SUNSETS:
Check out the recent update to this article from 2018 (see P.S. at the end). If the DLNR has the will to reissue revocable permits after Act 126 it can. They can take care of the small farmers and ranchers. Act 126 makes it clear.
...
"While the DLNR and the Land Board have been operating under the assumption that the holdovers will no longer be allowed beyond 2019, it’s unclear whether that’s truly a hard deadline. Act 126 states that the holdover permits can be renewed for up to three years and that the act will expire at the end of 2019, yet it also includes language that seems to keep the door open to holdovers beyond 2019.
The last two paragraphs of Act 126 state: 'This Act shall be repealed on June 30, 2019, and section 171-58(c), Hawai‘i Revised Statutes, shall be reenacted in the form in which it read on the day prior to the effective date of this Act; and
'Any holdovers first applied for under this Act prior to June 30, 2019, may be reauthorized, as provided in section 1 of this Act, beyond June 30, 2019' "
