(Didn't fit within description box.) Let me clarify that the intention of this video is to chronicle this event, not to sensationalize it at my affected neighbors’ expense. I mean no disrespect to anyone who suffered loss, by showing their property in this video. That being said, any blatantly rude comments made on this video criticizing the folks that live there, will be removed. Folks in Lava Zones 1 and 2 accept that they live in an area primed for this, though it makes it no less the heart-wrenching hardship when there is an event. Whether they choose to live there out of necessity or deliberateness, please, don't judge them so harshly. I've been seeing quite a few "armchair judges" sitting comfortably in the "the Peanut Gallery" spewing their harsh, ignorant criticism against those who live there, for deciding to live there. Offering far more initial affordability for real estate than notoriously found in other parts of the state, young mineral-rich soil and a lush landscape, more seclusion and privacy, a welcome--and often mandatory--atmosphere for off-gridding, etc: these zones invite residents for various reasons but all are painfully aware of the reality that lava is not merely likely to appear, but that it is already present, if only beneath the surface. They understand that living there often forfeits conventional access to property insurance--turning to the Hawaii Property Insurance Association or Lloyds of London as their options, if they can afford the higher rates--and that lending institutions will handle their applications differently, if at all. For whatever reason, these folks live here; they face their reality with an impressive sense of community, of perseverance, of Aloha. They seem to take it all in stride, as Madame Pele, a.k.a. "Tūtū Pele" [Grandmother Pele], takes her own. They don't need to trip on the "two cents" of others as they negotiate this event. /end of my "two cents" Insight into property insurance there: www.hawaiinewsnow.com/…/am-i-covered-for-this-homeow… Resources for how to help: www.hawaiinewsnow.com/…/heres-how-you-can-donate-to-… --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other good video footage: Lava vs. a gate and a car -- th-cam.com/video/Hm8LQSoi0lI/w-d-xo.html The fissure fountains -- th-cam.com/video/_HiM-sPGMgM/w-d-xo.html The lava river moving super quickly -- th-cam.com/video/NF3zLajnDNA/w-d-xo.html The lava approaching a house, at night, footage from within -- th-cam.com/video/jFA6MW0xTV0/w-d-xo.html The river and fountains, at night -- th-cam.com/video/16ZDAlPUL80/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/cJsei_DfMyA/w-d-xo.html When the flow was growing -- th-cam.com/video/5P87WynJ1y8/w-d-xo.html Blue flames -- th-cam.com/video/ALoa1F_Fk3U/w-d-xo.html Kilauea eruption seen from Mauna Kea -- th-cam.com/video/79eubMl32tA/w-d-xo.html Lava flowing quickly into canyon -- facebook.com/ikaika.marzo/videos/1816898981695963/ Lava Ocean Tours, Inc -- th-cam.com/users/LavaOceanAdventures ===================================================== Pele’s Hair: th-cam.com/video/OEMyYNziXrc/w-d-xo.html Talented young lady, singing by the fire: th-cam.com/video/uCUiCs20_ow/w-d-xo.html 'Holo Mai Pele' and is performed by Palani Agosto, upclose to the flow: th-cam.com/video/sC5E4BV8d0w/w-d-xo.html The Community Ohana, working together, Pu'uhonua o Puna -- facebook.com/puuhonuaopuna/
Thank you for posting this video. I've been watching other channels since about the end of May. You have caught the amazing construction and very sad destruction in a very different way. It has given me a totally different perspective on this disaster. I just did not grasp the enormity of the lava flow. This has had to be a very devastating event for those who lost their homes and property to lava. From what I'm learning, those whose homes are standing may not be able to move back due to damage caused by CO2. For all those who suffered loss, no words can express my sympathy for you. Thank you again for documenting this wonderful, horrible event.
Yes, indeed. You are correct; there are folks whose homes are unlivable due to the volcanic gases saturating them. Thank you for your kind words, for the video, but mainly for the folks of lower Puna.
