Aloha from Atlanta. I have been following this channel for the last month - thanks for your great updates! It was my family's great privilege to visit Kapoho near Champagne Ponds this time last year and had a wonderful time. It is my hope that Pele's visit to this beautiful land is merciful and that we may be able to visit our new friends there again soon.
Having a shity past couple months but when i see this i feel so bad for these folks,makes me realize what crap I go through isn't shit compared to loosing your home and not having somewhere to go.I hope for the best for these people and also hope they get some peace out of all this,must be insane to be home eating dinner watching your kids play to the next week having your home be destroyed and there's not a damn thing you can do. Keep your heads up y'all!!
If the house and property are covered with lava.... does the home owner still own the property ? Still had to keep paying for it ? Has the option to build on it ? It's so sad.. I'm in oregon but spent 2 yrs in Hawaii on us army duty.
Yes the homeowner still owns the property after the disaster, and they are still responsible for paying any outstanding loans. Hopefully they had insurance to cover the loss
Craig Martin - Normally, here as it is there on the mainland, one condition of receiving a loan is to have insurance. Even buying a car, it's that way if it's financed. If the place is paid off, though, they're just out of luck, if no insurance. You can't build on freshly flowed lava.
these Ariel shots just give you a true perspective of how enormous this event is! It's concerning to see the winds blowing the hydrochloric acid clouds over the mainland!
Laura Barber - it blows inland because we have the trade winds back here, and those always blow toward land, away from the ocean. Hopefully the people there are okay. As she mentioned, with the winds blowing the laze will dissipate faster, than if there was no wind.
Yea the crater floor has subsided 5' since this started so the surrounding earth will crack as it deflates and deforms. The cracks inside the crater will vent steam and SO2 gas.
To send cartoon lava 220' high. What kind of pressure is that. How much lava per hour or minute flows out at that height. What is the width. Does just the fountains feed the flow or the crack of the whole fissure. Meaning fissure have or create tributaries within say a football field of the fissure which is just more of the same fissure. Or fissures and leaks in the cracks aren't discernable therefore it's just a crack. At what height is it called a fissure. Are there other names for different heights or widths but fissure is just the go-to for the masses? 😐
Jeff Bingaman They speak in layman's terms to explain to the general public what's going on. Not being a smartass here: take a geology class at your local community college. It helps tremendously in understanding what is being said. Currently a class is less than $400 without financial aid and don't worry about your age. I'm in my early 40s, am a freshman and not the only old fart in most of my classes. Never too old.
I'll try to answer your questions: I don't know what pressures cause the height, but I do know that mineral composition of the lava, the amount of dissolved gases within the lava, the sustained heat and other factors affect the fountain, flow rivers and distance. The geologists are trying to figure out why the volcano chose to erupt where it did and when it did. From what I understand not much was happening geologically before the fissures started appearing. This is the first Kilauea eruption with the technology we have today, so scientists are learning at the same time they are informing/educating. Kilauea is different than many volcanoes out there. The magma system under the Big Island's crust is documented, but the scientists are now getting a first-hand look at it. Again, I suggest a class on geology/volcanology or watch every single geology/volcano documentary available. It will help.
Does anyone know... It seems there is in the "Ring of Fire" an increase in volcanic activity that is not at all on the average, a marked increase. Is with the sea level rising and the increase of hydrostatic pressure of more ocean water pressing on the oceanic crust causing more earthquake and volcanic activity along the tectonic plates of the world? I read that, in proportionate comparison, the earth's crust is as thin as the skin of an apple is to the rest of an apple.
One source: "And active fissures are spitting out an incredible 40 to 60 cubic feet of lava per second." www.hawaiinewsnow.com/story/38330630/of-all-the-magma-in-kilaueas-summit-just-about-2-has-erupted-in-lower-puna 50 ft3/s * 86400 s/day * 30 days = 130 e6 ft3 1 mi3 ~ 150 e9 ft3 So, something like 1/1000th of a cubic mile?
Keith Purdue No, Hawaii is a product of a hotspot, meaning a plume of magma from the mantle found a weakness in the Earth's crust and popped its way out, in this case in the middle of the Pacific plate and not on or near a plate boundary. The magma/lava that it contains is a very fluid rock known as basalt. It doesn't trap dissolved gases well, thus the boiling pot effect of the lava fountains and fissures. These volcanoes are shield volcanoes, which are relatively safe and predictable, with few explosive eruptions, minimal ash clouds and fluid lava. Fuego in Guatemala was formed because the Cocos plate is being pushed down under the North American and Caribbean plates into the mantle (subduction), causing the Cocos plate to melt. Some of the melted rock makes it back up to the surface, but in the form of a composite volcano. These are the scary, explosive, run-for-your-lives volcanoes, with pyroclastic flows, lahars, thick lava and ash clouds from hell. The magma/lava has different minerals and properties than the fluid lava of Hawaii. These are the suckers that kill people. Vesuvius, St Helens and Pinatubo are some of the well-known composite volcano eruptions. Most of the Ring of Fire volcanoes are this type of volcano and should be taken seriously. I'm not saying Kilauea and other hotspot volcanoes are safe and aren't killers, but they aren't in the same ballpark as composites. I hope this info helps.
Hermetic Principle of Correspondence....everything is connected. It is not even logical to believe the escalating volcanic activity happening around the planet it not connected, however seems modern sciencing has now resorted to magical thinking to explain these eruptions happening everywhere and would have us believe it's all just a "spooky coincidence"....funny how they get to change the rules when it suits them.
Thyalwaysseek They happen all the time it's just that now with the instant news flows it seems like it's happening more . There are approximately 20 volcanic eruptions happening at once around the world at any given moment. There is no such thing as supernatural, just childish wishful thinking!
@ Age of atheism Actually there is a marked escalation of volcanic activity globally, this is actually quite easily verified with multiple sources if you take the time to inform yourself. As for an atheist trying to school me on any subject, thanks but you are no different to a religious person, you just have a different BELIEF ;)
@ Age of atheism BTW Hermetics is the science of the Ancient Egyptians, you know the same ancient Egyptians who built those pyramids that not even your best modern engineers can replicate today even with all your fancy tech.
It is strange to look at something that is so destructive and can ruin so many people's lives yeah in the same instance it's incredibly beautiful and absolutely unbelievable to watch the true power of our home that we live on some people may not understand this kind of feeling but if you speak to the tree people at the island they would tell you the same they know they live in an area that is a living breathing part of the planet I must admit the other day I saw a report where are a lady I don't know what country she actually came from but she was most definitely not an original Hawaiian born person and she was saying how the Press are taking this all out of proportion and it's damaging their business because people aren't coming to see the island and I was thinking to myself you've obviously never in your life learnt or seen anything to do with the true power of a volcano because if that volcano does go the pirate plastic cloud that would come down from it would wipe out and destroy so much more then what we're seeing that she referred to as a small piece of the island the woman stupid is not affecting a small piece of the island the big Island is it a large area with a lot of people and a lot of people's livelihoods that this is going through uncontrolled there was an interview with a Hawaiian fella and he said himself I've lived here all my life is said we pray to the gods at the volcano and he said yes our homes are being destroyed but this has happened before and we rebuild he said the beauty of this island is the fact that it is alive and when you live here you can actually feel like you are alive and apart of the Earth where is if you travel to other areas with in the States you said you feel nothing of the Land and that left me thinking a lot I hope that no one else gets hurt and I hope the volcano does Kwai and down and does not erupt good luck to all of the people out there be safe
:02 That a friggin cool color that apparently has no actual hue or blend for a camera to focus on. Blurry redishorangeyellow lava. Like a cartoon or something. Shaking head and blinking, like trying to focus eyes on something emoticon of which I don't have.
If you are a scientist it seems like you would know that the use of metrics is pretty standard - especially in the earth sciences. The USGS employs SI regardless of whether you find that patriotic enough or not.
The whole of the big island is not a good place to be right now, and maybe better stay away from the surrounding islands also. To much chemicals in the air, I would not advise anybody to visit those islands now. Actually, if you don't have to be in the area of an active volcano eruption, stay far away from it.
i'm waiting for the other 2 volcanos on the island to erupt as well.. well at least now with the lava going into the ocean you will have more land to build upon - eventually it will get to the same size as Australia :D
Only Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world. The Holy Bible is true. Call on Jesus Christ for salvation. And we musst also repent from our sins And turn from them. Praise Jesus Christ Holy Holy Holy name. Please help us All Jesus.Amen.
Michael Schuenemann you are mistaken. The island is 4,000 square miles... And what this lava flow is maybe like 4-10 square miles. The entire island is not gone.
Stunning footage!

Keep your heads up y'all!!
I find myself staring at the lava like when your camping staring into the campfire. The colors change etc. Mesmerizing indeed
Somehow still magical to see how this island grows
Fissure 8 looks like it will be its own volcano....it's huge!
Starry Bear yep it is building its own cone, apparently
I dont know what to say no more ..God Bless you all, Amen
Great coverage, narrative and visual- very helpful and informative !!
Maybe the best update fm USGS HVO w Janet Babb. And the best aerial footage to see fissue 8 lava flow. 🍍🌴🏆 Thx.
It is mesmerising ( Black & dark orange ) something about Lava !
That river of lava is unreal. :O
Modesty in lieu of the tempest is worth its weight in gold. Much love to Hawaiians.
RIP Green Lake 4:30
Wish I could be there!!historic event
Is this event easing or becoming worse?
Take care all who are there.
If the house and property are covered with lava.... does the home owner still own the property ? Still had to keep paying for it ? Has the option to build on it ? It's so sad.. I'm in oregon but spent 2 yrs in Hawaii on us army duty.
I believe it becomes eminent domain.
Yes the homeowner still owns the property after the disaster, and they are still responsible for paying any outstanding loans. Hopefully they had insurance to cover the loss
norma desmond thank you
Alexi Blackwell Bridal thank you

Excellent update for sure!

It makes one wonder what's really happening in the world at the moment......
bhord2010 it's all in the last chapter
Beautiful!!
Everyone, be safe.
2:02ish
Looks like a far away shot of some big coastal city at night
What about all the steam fizzures that opened at base of halema crater?
Those are from deflation... All volcanic craters have those cracks.
Dt0x75 thank you for the reply. I just saw a brief report today at ' thecommonsenceshow, was wondering if it would be newsworthy...
Yea the crater floor has subsided 5' since this started so the surrounding earth will crack as it deflates and deforms. The cracks inside the crater will vent steam and SO2 gas.
Wow

I found tiny specks of green Pele's hair in Ocean view.
mike smith Sorry dude not Pele's hair.....it's my pubic hair...exploded pen in my pocket
1:55 is the home of Rusty the Lava Rooster. It is now surrounded on all sides. It is Chicken Masada.
Ronin Sherpa poor rusty 😭 I helped name him lava rooster the very first day HCB started streaming from that house.😢😢😢😢

I read that, in proportionate comparison, the earth's crust is as thin as the skin of an apple is to the rest of an apple.
Does the Lava cooling so quickly in the ocean water slow it down and make it breach over the banks higher up in the flow?
The glow from burning houses is mesmerizing.
Wooo more and more! Guatemala blew off, Popo in Mex too, 2 more in Ecuador and Colombia are shaking with quakes!
Welcome to a geologically active planet... been here long or did you just get here?...
I have a question...where is the geothermal plant on this map? Is it covered in lava? Mahalo.
By Grace Alone completely surrounded but not covered
Kylo Ren ok...mahalo! I wish it was on the map. 🙏❤️
By Grace Alone, I’ve heard only two wells at the plant are covered. So far the plant has been spared.
Fluffy Bunny wow! Crazy. Mahalo❤️🙏
i read it's an Israeli project ...
Some are lucky it passed your house up going into the Ocean- I would be thanking GOD, not a god of mythology -
When will this end?
When the volcano finds a new equilibrium. And being that these fissures are almost at sea level that could take awhile!
So how much of a cubic mile of lava has come out of the earth this last 30 days? .1? .25?
One source: "And active fissures are spitting out an incredible 40 to 60 cubic feet of lava per second." www.hawaiinewsnow.com/story/38330630/of-all-the-magma-in-kilaueas-summit-just-about-2-has-erupted-in-lower-puna
50 ft3/s * 86400 s/day * 30 days = 130 e6 ft3
1 mi3 ~ 150 e9 ft3
So, something like 1/1000th of a cubic mile?
This is not going to go well..! People need to get miles from this !
take a lexipro and calm down... its a very small percentage of the island
As long as the wind doesn't shift, they can stand quite close to it. It doesn't move _that_ fast.
Wooo more and more! Guatemala blew off
i bet there are still crazy people that say this is not an issue or its not dangerous or a problem
Be safe, wise and garded
The Super "8" shows no sign of abating.
Pgv linked to a big shattering of bedrock called fissure 8.
sleeping monster that is waking up
Does this chain tie into the chain in Mexico? Noteably Volcan de Fuego in Guatemala? Possibly Paracutín, Orizaba, Popo, Ixta.

I hope that no one else gets hurt and I hope the volcano does Kwai and down and does not erupt good luck to all of the people out there be safe
Wait for tomorrow. Bigger surprise to come
Radioactivity? Wonder why they don’t talk about that one.
Youre a special kind of stupid aint ya?
:02
That a friggin cool color that apparently has no actual hue or blend for a camera to focus on.
Blurry redishorangeyellow lava.
Like a cartoon or something.
Shaking head and blinking, like trying to focus eyes on something emoticon of which I don't have.
She sounds scared.... #Fukushima
This is America. I am a scientist. Use yards and miles. They are more accurate than arbitrary metrics.
If you are a scientist it seems like you would know that the use of metrics is pretty standard - especially in the earth sciences. The USGS employs SI regardless of whether you find that patriotic enough or not.
Rubbish, metrics is absolutely more accurate.
The metric system is the international standard in the sciences.
how is metrics more accurate?
The whole of the big island is not a good place to be right now, and maybe better stay away from the surrounding islands also. To much chemicals in the air, I would not advise anybody to visit those islands now.
Actually, if you don't have to be in the area of an active volcano eruption, stay far away from it.
these are rivers, its not going to stop people. its paradise no more. im sorry for you people, but you better get out.
Catherine McCandless, so far this has only affected a small portion of the island.
Fluffy they think its the entire island and nothing is going to convenience them otherwise... these are the "special" people of society
"fizzures"
i'm waiting for the other 2 volcanos on the island to erupt as well.. well at least now with the lava going into the ocean you will have more land to build upon - eventually it will get to the same size as Australia :D
You have 5 days left.
Is that a threat?
5 days left? What the fuck are you talking about?
Dt0x75 you don't know? Uh-oh... well let me put it this way, don't make any long term plans...
Reporting you
I was thinking about doing the same thing Keto... Thats seems like a veiled threat to me.
Heed God! 🔥😱🔥🙏
Only Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world. The Holy Bible is true. Call on Jesus Christ for salvation. And we musst also repent from our sins And turn from them. Praise Jesus Christ Holy Holy Holy name. Please help us All Jesus.Amen.
NO
AnitA Dale Amen
AnitA Dale stop preaching!
Can't go back - nothing to go Back to - that Island is Gone and very Unsafe !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Michael Schuenemann WRONG!
Michael Schuenemann you are mistaken. The island is 4,000 square miles... And what this lava flow is maybe like 4-10 square miles. The entire island is not gone.
