You surely have that nasty stuff about VOG correct! We were on Maui about a month ago and the VOG in Kihei was horrible, you could cut it with a knife. Yes there was little in the way of trade wind. With maybe the exception of Kauai the VOG had the islands covered. When we have stayed up at Waikola Village in the past, the VOG on the Big Island wasn’t much uglier.
Vog has never left. I’ve been here since 2006 and it has always been around. It does not bother me but people with breathing conditions will not want to spend hard earned dollars here.
I live on Hualalai above the airport. I am at the 800 foot level. Some days I can’t see the ocean horizon. Other days Hualalai can’t be seen and I live on the mountain.

You’re much closer to the source, so even a tiny amount may be more impactful there. But up here, 250 miles away, it has for the most part, been gone for years. Until these eruptions.
I’m older with pollen allergies & asthma, and I definitely noticed the vog on Kauai wafting over from the Big Island eruptions recently! It was so bad, I even resorted to wearing a mask (w a PM2.5 filter) indoors one day last week. I have an old house, and the windows don’t seal very well lol.
Well, let’s sue the volcano and pele both. Sorry, it just seems that people don’t understand that with the beautiful exciting view, you get vog.

Aloha.
