Turning over now to another natural disaster that is hitting Hawaii…<br /> Lava from the erupting Kilauea volcano has covered a potentially explosive well at a geothermal power station.<br />Officials scrambled to prevent other wells at the Puna Geothermal Venture facility from being covered by deactivating them.<br />Some 230-thousand litres of flammable liquid have also been removed.<br />The wells tap into steam and gas deep in the Earth's core and there are fears of possible explosions emitting deadly hydrogen sulfide and other gases should they be ruptured.<br />Officials have reassured that the wells are stable and secure, but lava has never engulfed a geothermal plant anywhere in the word before, leaving an air of uncertainty. <br />
