Mauna Loa, one of Hawaii’s many volcanoes, can affect Hawaii’s economy positively and negatively. On a positive note, Mauna Loa can provide rich, fertile soil for farming.

I fell straight to the ground in shock. My heart suddenly just dropped in fear. My parents began to start laughing hysterically because of my fear. Thankfully, I was able to make it out alive and well, but I was definitely shaken up.

Although it rains from May to November, only September and October typically bring the tropical thunderstorms.
