How could you think this is beautiful? Hasn’t Hawaii already been through enough!
that volcano isn't gonna hurt anyone, the primary eruption stayed in the caldera. BTW i've been there, close up to the girl, and she is amazing.....

gotta love mother nature, she is awesome and powerful both at the same time......

and the other thing that you are mentioning is man made, if the power company kept up with things it wouldn't have happened......btw it had a little help with a hurricane too.....

Since when does Canada get hurricanes? This is a sign of the end of the world!!
Last year we had one that wrecked to province's power grid from one end to the other, this is where hurricanes go to die, but they often don't go down easy! The falls are longer up here now, and the big old trees are still full of leaves increasing the wind loading on them quite a bit. Last year after it was over there were trees down everywhere along with power lines and the ground was covered with shredded leaves that look like they went through a blender.

Prices will get even lower with production ramping up in America and the EU, then there are the new PV technologies like flexible solar panels, roofing shingles and tiles made for homes. Solar is the cheapest form of electric energy generation and cheap battery storage with HVDC interconnectors hooking up regions would make it even more useful.

Eye of a hurricane up here in NS at 46 degrees north and I lost power for a week and was one of the lucky ones as the grid was rebuilt. Late falls and big trees full of leaves and there are still plenty of big trees around here. In winter when the trees are bare of leaves and the ground frozen, then can withstand the winter gales.

Is that rare to happen up there? Maybe this is the new norm for you and Lee is going do the same thing. I hope you have an evacuation plan.

It happens nearly every hurricane season and no need to evacuate here, I'm on the south side of a sandstone hill 100 ft above sea level in a sheltered spot, no overland flooding and my basement is always dry as a bone. It's just the lights going out that bothers me and everybody else, there are few fatalities or too much property damage, but it's pain in the ass. The further south the worse and NJ could be in for a rough ride if it heads that way and it takes the hit.
