What a nice attitude this man takes to nature changing his life, spent part of my holidays on the big island 2017 and loved it , chin up to all who are affected.
I'm humbled. Thank you for sharing. It humbles my soul to see MAMA nature naturally living her course and reminds me we are just here for the ride. I cried seeing this because it's so beautiful, sad but so beautiful.
Christian Irvine -. Well that is cool! How do you know it is the same property? You must have seen more video somewhere. Seems they showed very little here.
I liked what he said he would make me less afraid of the volcano, but the thing is he was so friendly so open minded and he is safe wow that's awesome I like this video here very good one
Blessing you Victor ..I enjoy your courageous effort ; knowing we serve a Mighty God that makes and destroy..Let us pray for life and watch nature in it's glory ..Be safe Victor come here in Kingston Jamaica when you can.
Followup article on May 29th said his house is still there but surrounded and he got his stuff out. www.staradvertiser.com/2018/05/29/hawaii-news/leilani-estates-resident-among-fortunate-few-as-lava-spares-home-for-now/
Unfortunately, it’s that house is now gone from my understanding. It was called the “pig house” and another channel showed how it was decimated overnight.
Lave lake in front of your house? Time to drop a line in an catch some fish. He is so lucky to have that in his backyard. Would be awesome at night kicking back have a beer and watching the beauty of Mother Nature
Luckily he is ok so far, and I hope it misses his property. My thoughts and good wishes go out to the people of Hawaii big island and to the people of Guetamala, who have also been hit by a big volcanic eruption (lives have been lost). 😔❤️
You might check either Apau Hawaii Tours on You Tube (he has a bunch of great videos) or Ikaika (spelling?) on Facebook. You will likely be able to tell. That being said, roads around the house in this story got overflown during the night (5/25).
This man seems like a really nice guy! I sincerely hope his confidence in being safe where he is higher up isn't misguided. Personally, I would be looking at the altitude of the top of those lava plumes with reference to the altitude of my own property right there. But that said... Despite the risk of toxic gasses like Sulphur Dioxide and Hydrogen Sulphide... The other consideration is that if the draining caldera at Mt Kilauea is even higher then the current levels it may well come into contact with water tables below his home and cause a massive explosion as the water is turned into steam... This could end everything for him and his family instantly which would be so sad for such a nice guy... Personally I would consider abandoning the residence for the forseeable future but hey... Where would he go in the meantime?
Did Victor's house survive? I recently saw an aerial comparison photo taken on Sept 30, 2018 alongside one taken prior to the eruption. According to a search of his address, it looks like it was totally covered.
If you are in Hawai’i, you are on a volcano. Therefore, living with a lava lake is only incidental to being there. To repeat: If you are in Hawai’i, you are on a volcano.
Spartan-Surfer amen this man is rich he has nothing to fear but what about the the natives the poor people who have been there all their lives who have worked the land this white man is rich that's why he's smiling not racist I'm being real
I think peles ultimate goal was to take out the geothermal plant. But of course that couldnt happen. Which is why so many fissures opened cause they triggered explosives to divert flow. Think about it. Geothermal wasnt touched. And was the first place to get an access road built to continue. Better than most our roads. Its nature at its finest but i think it was accidentally provoked. There back at it. Those are the explosions you hear every night minutes apart in puna district. Besides fireworks and gun shots. Pay attention. You'll realize the distinction. Starts at 6 pm everyday to about midnight.
🐀Hell I'd be smiling to have millions of dollars like this man does he can build and move on to another area but the poor residence Lord have mercy on them
This man is my moms brother. Not a millionaire. He is retired from 25 plus years in the Navy. Born and raised in Hawaii and is Half Native/aboriginal Hawaiian. Good day sir.
This guy sounds like he's from the Northeast. Thats a yuge risk to What put. What if the lava lake breaches the berm & overflows his property in the middle of the night. He's toast. It's not like it's water & he can just climb onto the roof.
He is born and raised in Hawaii. He is half native/aboriginal Hawaiian. He has a little accent because he served 25 plus years in the Navy. He is my mothers older brother. Good day.
Servant of Christ. I will be kind ,I agree with there is no mother nature, Just nature, as for the being a god there is not god just nature. But, if that fantasy makes you feel good, go for it. Just do not put down others for their beliefs. There are kind and wonderful people thru out this world regardless of there religion.
The term "mother nature" is sexist, it triggers me, and I find it seriously offensive. Terms like mother nature, father time, god the father are truly and right roundly offensive. SAFE SPACE! SAFE SPACE! SAFE SPACE! SAFE SPAAAA........................
So is estates full of foreigners who took Hawaiians native lands for themselves. Then it's suprising that lady volanoes is like... I'm take the land back.
He is half native/aboriginal Hawaiian. Born and raised in Hawaii. There are a lot of foreigners there though, he is not one. He is also my mothers older brother. God bless you.
Problem is. False gods. God's command. Thou shalt have no other God's before me. Everyone worships Pele and mother nature. Satan created Pele and other false gods to mislead everyone and take them to Hell and torment them forever. God is not happy. You want Pele, you can have it or more. Jesus defeated Satan at the Cross. Jesus is Lord whether you believe it or not.

Peles island
Utter respect for this man!!!!
He was super nice. Locals understand the volcano better than fear mongering reporters.
And fear mongering TH-camrs.
And yet here you are fear mongering about reporters.
Love Baby people are dying
“Go with the flow” lol...no pun intended? I pray you all do not go with the flow, literally. God Bless Hawaii ❤️🙏🌺🌋🙌
my grandpa built this house in the 80s as his retirement home it's pretty amazing it's still standing I thought it was gone weeks ago
Christian Irvine -. Well that is cool! How do you know it is the same property? You must have seen more video somewhere. Seems they showed very little here.
Nui Ke Aloha, Victor .... Beauty in your words during a time that is so challenging ... Many prayers to all
ive heard of lakefront property bit this is ridiculous
"... go with the flow." What a sense of humor in trying times.
What a great guy, hope he’s able to save his place.
cool guy. He would be a good neighbour to have .
I liked what he said he would make me less afraid of the volcano, but the thing is he was so friendly so open minded and he is safe wow that's awesome I like this video here very good one
A great man. May God bless him much.
I loved this guy and his accent . Cool attitude , in a crazy situation , and spooky too . Great video . Thanks !!
Get this man a live stream!
Really. He has Super Bowl seats at the 50 yard line.
I think robert meant stanley cup playoff center ice seats😎 I hope this cool guys home is spared !!! stay safe BRAH
Simjedi Agreed
what a nice man
I followed up on Victor. He had to leave because it was deemed unsafe and his utility services were cut off. He plans on moving back in.
Very humble and fortunate. Mahalo!
Blessing you Victor ..I enjoy your courageous effort ; knowing we serve a Mighty God that makes and destroy..Let us pray for life and watch nature in it's glory ..Be safe Victor come here in Kingston Jamaica when you can.
What a great attitude. Good luck man.
That's the pig house!
Yes, it is! I hope he's all right based on what we are seeing this morning!
th-cam.com/video/YDI4MAZS2HY/w-d-xo.html According to this map, it's still standing, though now cut off.
Are all people in Hawaii this chill? Seems like a very chill place... minus the lava.
You have been in my heart. Hoping all is well. Are you still safe?
Solid this Uncle!
Nice and relaxed he knew there was always the possibility
He's like we never expected that the Active Volcano we moved to would erupt!

His property is high on an old cinder cone knoll and is still okay. Just surrounded by lava.
Beautiful lake. Let's go swimming.
Lavafront property
Lave lake in front of your house? Time to drop a line in an catch some fish. He is so lucky to have that in his backyard. Would be awesome at night kicking back have a beer and watching the beauty of Mother Nature
My moms brother! Love you unko Vic
Lake front property is always cool.
it's 2023 now, still wondering if this man lost his home?
Luckily he is ok so far, and I hope it misses his property. My thoughts and good wishes go out to the people of Hawaii big island and to the people of Guetamala, who have also been hit by a big volcanic eruption (lives have been lost). 😔❤️
I like this fella
This property is on Kahukai St and is still standing, although road access was cut off.
he lost his home. it was near puna geothermal venture
It's over Kiluea, he's got the high ground.
Wow!
Victor, what's happening with the house next door? I was your neighbor on the other side of the cinder hill.
You might check either Apau Hawaii Tours on You Tube (he has a bunch of great videos) or Ikaika (spelling?) on Facebook. You will likely be able to tell. That being said, roads around the house in this story got overflown during the night (5/25).
Prayers for you! 🙏❤
Living on the side of a volcano, that's what I call playing Hawaiian Roulette.
This man seems like a really nice guy!
I sincerely hope his confidence in being safe where he is higher up isn't misguided.
Personally, I would be looking at the altitude of the top of those lava plumes with reference to the altitude of my own property right there.
But that said...
Despite the risk of toxic gasses like Sulphur Dioxide and Hydrogen Sulphide...
The other consideration is that if the draining caldera at Mt Kilauea is even higher then the current levels it may well come into contact with water tables below his home and cause a massive explosion as the water is turned into steam... This could end everything for him and his family instantly which would be so sad for such a nice guy...
Personally I would consider abandoning the residence for the forseeable future but hey... Where would he go in the meantime?
Good luck sir, may Pele grant you favor.
Would have never thought that an active volcano would erupt....
All I need are some tasty Lava waves, a cool buzz, and I’m fine.
Did his property survive from the lava? Any updates pls.
Yes its still there.
I wonder if they could do an update with him? Is his house still okay?
That's what you call a natural hot tub, you've got to be creative when you're selling your property!
hot tub “adjacent” 🤙
Cool dude
Did Victor's house survive? I recently saw an aerial comparison photo taken on Sept 30, 2018 alongside one taken prior to the eruption. According to a search of his address, it looks like it was totally covered.
Still standing! As well the next door neighbour downwards. Is nicknamed " The Pigs house". Long story. Is became an island of hard lava around.
Death and destruction just yards away. I wouldn't want to be there.
This is creation, without events like this there would be no life.
That's my uncle Vic😊
They knew this was a great possibility but was hopeful n held faith! God Bless n keep you all safe from harm! 🙏❤😀😃
Look at that Naughty cone just chilling right there. Charge it rent. On a serious note i hope it didnt destroy his property
5 25 18 1st time ive heard of lava lake were is the fkn media? useless.how far away is spout? to get perspective your blessed dude
Does the house still stand?
It's not unusual... to be loved by anyone - doobiedoobiedoo 🎶
good luck

PGV started it all!
Lake front property as listed on Zillow
his place is gone; though for quite awhile the lava oozed around that pool of water
No it’s not … fake news … still standing. Just cut off from access. Good day.
Did he keep his house????
Well, the house was one of the few that survived but couldn't get to it until the lava cooled off.
he lost his home. it was near puna geothermal venture
I think it's gone now
What can you do? Build your home on an active volcano and you accept the risks.
Stop all vacation rentals and let local people live in them in lieu of living in the state dog house.
Spartan-Surfer amen this man is rich he has nothing to fear but what about the the natives the poor people who have been there all their lives who have worked the land this white man is rich that's why he's smiling not racist I'm being real
Getting a job is a proven way to start living indoors.
Does he sleep there at night?

How many coqui frogs were harmed?
Natural disasters can not be helped by human power.
It's Father nature actually.
ODD THAT THERE ARE BEAUTIFUL HOMES ON ONE BLOCK AND SHACKS ON THE OTHER!! NOT GOOD FOR THE VALUE OF THE VERY NICE HOMES!!!!
🐀Hell I'd be smiling to have millions of dollars like this man does he can build and move on to another area but the poor residence Lord have mercy on them

Darrell Grisham who made you? When you die where are you going? Just saying
Servant of Christ, if there was God, he had kicked you right in the lavastream to burn!!

Animated Tigress
This comment was so uncalled for🙄
NO, shes right.
PiE
Because...she speaks for the volcano🤔🙄🤦🏼♀️
Isn't it ironic...don't ya think?
He is half native/aboriginal Hawaiian. Born and raised in Hawaii. There are a lot of foreigners there though, he is not one. He is also my mothers older brother. God bless you.
Go with the flow? I would call your attorney and sue your realtor....
All your prayers have been ignored and your God turn the other way with a smirk!

Enjoyed? People are dying!
0 people have died as a result of this eruption.
