Lava Closure

Government officials are trying to make themselves useful in Hawaii as the unstoppable forces of nature do what comes naturally. So, naturally the officials came up with this:

County officials are making arrangements for those living in the lava's path to be able to watch the lava destroy their homes as a means of closure.

I'm pretty sure the home owners will have closure when they find that their home has become a big black pile of steaming rock. But thanks for trying, County officials. What would we do without you?
