Living with a volcano means dealing with its goddess

By Terray Sylvester PAHOA, Hawaii (Reuters) - During one of his daily briefings about the relentless eruptions of the Kilauea volcano recently, Hawaii County Mayor Harry Kim noted the day had brought no eruptions, no lava, no ashfalls. "Pele has given the grace of quiet to us today," Kim told residents, both native Hawaiians and those who moved there from abroad, at the Pahoa high school meeting. Pele oversees "any and all volcanic phenomenon: lava flow, steam, fumes, earthquakes," says Bobby Camara, a retired Park Ranger at the vast Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, the biggest tourist attraction on Hawaii's Big Island.
