"Lava from the Kilauea eruption has boiled away Hawaii's largest freshwater lake in just a matter of hours.

In a statement released on June 2, the U.S. Geological Survey explained that lava from the eruption's fissure 8 entered Green Lake and boiled its water away, sending a white plume high into the sky.

USGS tweeted that lava entered Green Lake at 10 AM local time. By 3PM, Hawaii County Fire Department confirmed that the lake had filled and that its water had evaporated." foxnews.com/science/2018/06/12/hawaii-volcano-kilauea-lava-boiled-away-big-islands-largest-freshwater-lake.html

    Back around 1935 the Army dropped bombs in the volcano to try and deviate or stop the flow. Before that Pele got virgins thrown in, but that probably wouldn't work today due to a shortage. I think the best way to stop a volcano would be by throwing every SJW and Hillary fan into the caldera, and top that off with a nuke.

    Finally! A career path for incels!! No shortage of virgins there, and Pele being a Goddess, male virgins are probably more super effective!

      Naah. With a temper like that, she's definitely a lesbian.

    You imbecile, everyone knows that Xenu tried that millions of years ago. And all that happened is that nowadays we're plagued with these pesky body thetans.

    A number of atomic bombs could be used to re-route the lava and improve the lives of everyone on the island.
