• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Hawaii shaking

Hawaii is not on the edge of a tectonic plate like California. It is over a hot spot. The earthquake therefore is a result of Magma intrusion underneath that area. Hot spots within a plate are created by deep subterranean super heavy elements. The nuclear elements are decaying in a process called fission. This is similar to a nuclear power plant, but at a much larger scale. The immense heat created heats the magma so much that it rises and eventually breaks through the mantle under the ocean. The extruded magma has grown over time to create the Hawaii islands. The Hawaii islands are in a line because the Pacific Tectonic plate has moved, over millions of years, across the nuclear hot spot. Essentially every one of the Hawaii islands was formed from magma extrusion. When the magma is extruded above water level you have a volcano.

This earthquake could be a new magma fissure and the birth of a new island.
