We are already experiencing the fury of Pele, we do not know when, for how long,  and to what extent she will reclaim these islands?  What she covers, she destroys.  What she empties into the sea, she builds anew.  And every now and then, she trembles and shakes her warnings.   Sounds like "the sky is falling?"  No, the sky is not falling, THE OCEAN IS RISING!  We do not need the scientist to tell us that the environmental changes are threatening all living things...from  the melting ice caps to the warming ocean currents, our planet is in chaos.  As for now, our efforts are desperate with no real solution to the problems or any promises for a future.  Amen!
