I love seeing the face behind the voice! Much love for Civil Defense and the great work they are doing, stay safe everyone. Nature gave you something of a lifetime.
Talmadge, that's the first time I have seen you look so resigned, was sad but then you went on to note the potential for good to come out of this work of mother nature. E mahalo nui, e palekana. x
Spent one of our most memorable vacations in a cottage on Waiopae. If you haven't been, this is one of the most lush and beautiful areas of Hawaii. Snorkeling in Kapoho Tide Pools was amazing. This is heartbreaking to watch. Thoughts and prayers for all those adventurous souls who made their homes in this little slice of paradise.
Hey howzit Talmadge! An old friend wanting to express my thanks on how you and your Civil Defense staff have handled this awesome series of events. Hard to see some of these old playground areas being lost to Pele but will always have memories of these beachfront areas. Be well my friend!
I feel our County officials have done a terrific job handling this situation. Not so sure about Mayor Kim, but he did come out to Pahoa to speak with the people.
@ladykiri -- I've been really impressed with your county officials. The mayor said something I really liked (though other officials seemed surprised by it, so maybe it was a sudden idea he had that he hadn't discussed with anyone) -- he was talking about getting together quickly, pushing permits through, and building micro emergency housing for the people who have no place to return to and no other options, something similar to what was done in Hilo for tsunami victims -- he said if the people in charge could do it then, surely they could do it now. That sounded very sensible to me; you want to get those people out of temporary shelters as soon as possible. Even a tiny, private place is better than a temporary shelter.
Did anyone else see a sweet movie trailer for Night School? I clicked on this video to see the update of lava flow. Instead I get distracted by a movie trailer TH-cam hooking you up with the good commercials! Bro
It would be helpful if those that can afford own a caravan, it takes the pressure off the temporary housing and allows some degree of privacy and freedom. Living on a volcanic island one would think having a caravan is a good idea for evacuation purposes.
You know, with tourism down, I'd expect some local hotels or resorts to put up some of the people at least for a shower and breakfast or, you know, just some place to be able to rest. I realize everyone will be hit by the economy, but giving to the community in need may pay off in the long run. I hope that'll be news in the near future.
Thank you for dating your posts up front. Otherwise I have to watch the shirts for a clue that I have already viewed them. What about buildings taken besides homes - schools or churches or civic offices or post offices affected by the lava?
So this leads to an interesting question. In some parts of the world, the property line ends 'at the water's edge'. If you live in Kapoho Bay on the side of the flow where it hits the water, have you just gained a few hundred more yards of property?
What about a line graph showing the lava flows and their daily volume? I know I'd get a good overview of the flow that way. The lava flows seem to me, to be increasing in large jumps, and fissure 8 appears to be in the heart of the flow.
Allen Burt I think it would be near impossible to measure the actual volume of lava flowing. The only way to measure accurately is by land coverage, which is currently sitting at 5,000 acres
Due to the condition getting worse and no end in sight "Yet". It would be best if they allowed the Hawaiian citizens to start using hotels as apartment complexes instead of them remaining in a shelter. This can be done by giving people Rooms & normal rules allowing employees to keep the rooms clean and the residents doing their part to keep things well intact Etc in the hotels. Government assistance can help those whose jobs are under lava Gov pay for their room until they can find a new employment. Anyone with a disability check can pay reduced rates. Same with Senior residence. For those residents whose jobs have remained safely intact can continue to pay on their own for the room. During these difficult times Hotels can work something out with both the public and the government on an affordable monthly rent plan. This would also help with lack of terrorism during this time. Now if only my suggestion can be implemented into helping the Hawaiian citizens so they can be in a more comfortable setting during these extremely difficult times. 💖 if I remember correctly USGS stated this is only affected 1% of the island. So this idea could be workable! And continue to keep an eye on the lava. In case further evacuation would be needed. The shelter should be there for the public until their needs are met and a more comfortable and reasonable accommodations can be made. Including remaining pet friendly!. In all honesty these people can't be expected to live in the shelters. And those willing to help others move any livestock to a safer location because helping the livestock stay safe is important on so many levels it's important.
vlad the lad LMFAO. Didn't know that an eight season long TV show, with thirteen forty minute episodes per season, wouldn't be called a series. I guess the liberty of using a diverse vocabulary is too tough for me to understand! Gee whiz, what do you call a sequence of planned and timed release of media, whether it be television, literature, poetry, video games, or films? Oh, right...
vlad the lad Lmfao. Do you understand that my comment was in reference to the 1980 TV Show called "Magnum P.I."? The comment you're replying to refers to Thomas Magnum, the protagonist in the series. Please, continue to attack me for talking about a forty year old TV show that you don't know about. 😂😂
Mick Gatz 😂 Who doesn't like a good game of chicken? Vegas casinos drain the pockets of untold numbers who also figure they have a chance to get lucky, do a lot praying, bowing to the east and rubbing their beads or shells or rabbit's foot. Ohhhh, I wonder if rabbit in the cage with the lady still has all 4 feet? 🤔😜
I have a question.. when the lava hits the ocean, does the motion stop at a certain degree and cool, then the lava behind it would layer itself on top of first layer. then mixed w ocean temp cool then stop moving forward, then next layer.. cont cont. so question is how tall of a layers would it take, for the lava flow start turning down the coast ( beach) instead of going over the highest layers of cooled lava in the ocean?
Not an expert, but from what I've seen/read the lava should keep flowing in the same spot unless the slump breaks. If that "shelf-like" piece falls off, then the lava may change direction. As for how fast it cools, there are all kinds of articles about this if you search Google.
You're correct about it layering. The way I see it, it will start forming into a wall as the layers get higher, meaning the lava will start backing up. It may be held on land by the wall and solidify there, or it may start a new route, running along the side of the wall along the coast
Usually the lava forms Deltas that will continue to expand until there is not enough underlying support hold the delta up. At that point the Delta will break off and collapse down to the sea floor. In this case Kapoho bay looks to be fairly shallow and my armchair geologist view is that the bay will fill up completely and that area will not break off.
Is there any possibility of controlling some lava flows by building up berms of ground up lava cinders? Preventing or stopping a small lava flow split might be better than letting it split. I don't pretend to know how feasible or dangerous such work might be.
The answer has two parts in limited capacity some power poles etc have been saved in past flows by thermally wrapping and encasing in lava rock. But, lava defies gravity, it can flow quickly but it can bake up and over high ground and barriers from the underside like a muffin and the volumes are totally unpredictable, ultimately Pele rains supreme and we just need to let her do her thing.
Looking at the map, historically just as this has happened in the past it WILL happen again. At any point does the Hawaiian Government plan to limit construction on this side of the island?
Helicoptor flying all day looking incase people want to be rescued ??? Im sure i heard a few days bk that warnings were given if they didnt evacuate on time nd the rescue lives were put at risk then that said person would face charges. Are those statute rules/ threats still in effect?
Kathleen Roderick that only applies to residents of lilani estates. I understand that people are scared of looters, but it's worse to get trapped, imo.
They’re flying everyday to monitor the flow. 06:30 the press is at the scene (in helicopters) along with the USGS, Civil Defense and county fire. They fly all daylight hrs to monitor the flow from the vent to the ocean entry. Flows can break out at any moment, the bank of the flow can collapse and send lava in another direction, perched ponds can overflow, these are major threats.
Yeah and then you get people to afraid to be rescued because they'll get charged. We don't live in an authoritarian society and I've yet to meet any rescue helicopter pilot who sulks because of the job he strived for growing up.
@DJ RAZORDGE OF REVELATOR -- I measured it quickly in Google Maps -- the main lobe is roughly 12.4 km (7.7 miles) from the approximate fissure 8 start going around the top of PGV, top of Kapoho crater then turning right down to Kapoho Bay. I am not exactly sure about where on fissure 8 the fountain is, but it's no more than 500m downstream, I think, somewhere around Leilani/Luana.
I know the world is ending for a lot of people and that this is a petty thing, but if you are going to continue to do press updates in that location, could someone please paint that dadgum manky looking handrail behind the speakers, please?! Peeling paint always looks so Shaggy and sad! Makes me never want to come to visit a place.
Surely people who have evacuated from these areas can register somewhere so they get an idea of the numbers, not really good enough to say "oh we don't really know"...knowing the number of people effected gives us a better perspective of the scale of this disaster. Also would like to see some updates on the status of the shelters, have they opened more?
Okay, seriously, where are the pr professionals here? You are doing this press update in the sun, it is making you squint, which is making you look like you are grinning when people are losing their homes. I know it's just the sun in your eyes, but you need to do this release facing a different direction so that you don't look like you are Untouched by their tragedy. Hello? Professional people? Help this person look like he is doing his job with sensitivity and capability. I sense that he is, but he doesn't necessarily look like he is.
@10JAQK -- No word because nothing new happened (not since the storage shed and drilling rig were destroyed). There's a video around from a couple days ago of a short overflight. It seems almost surrounded by lava but currently the fissures south of it are inactive, and fissure 8 is channeling lava past it at this point (that can of course change if the lava river breaks through its "levee". The USGS maps also show the area still clear.
Now how much will all the 🗻🌋s going off all AROUND. the 🌍🌎🌏 dose ANYONE KNOW HOW THIS WILL EFFECT OUR WEATHER☀⛅☁⚡❄🌀🌊???? JUST A LITTLE FOOD FOR THOUGHT😔BE BLESSED💖
How come no one is working with the government to pay for hotel rooms for these people. I would think if an elected person work 24/7 writing calling congress senate to get federal money asap to put people in hotels. WTF have every citizen of the USA in Hawaii call Washington multiple times a day to complain, send emails, put it in writing send them a tweet do every type of communication to ask for help. Come on people. You have no tourists so work out a hotel rate for government aide to put Hawaii citizens in those rooms. HELLO!! Pluck those nose hairs.
The Goddess Pele is watching the government of Hawaii to see how it treats her people. She say's ... "You care for my people I've displaced, and you treat all with the same justice or I will reap vengeance, and destruction on you the likes you have never seen..." I think she means "If the poor have to pay a fine to be rescued, so should the rich."
Let that be a lesson when you miss use the land for profit to enrich your pockets while our future children lose there chance to own a home because 90% if the homes are vacation homes or bnb's!
Kahtel 187 of which are very expensive to just have a week or so.same here in UK.beautiful holiday homes that would take a months wage just for a week..greedy holiday home owners,, its a disgrace, they think they own the views, thats why they charge so much,,!
This is so insensitive to say - those vacation home owners bought produce from the Hawain community, provided jobs, paid taxes, invested in Hawaii etc. Saying this is just plain stupid.
Regardless of who lived on this land, their homes would have been covered with lava and destroyed. Living beside an active volcano is a bad decision. It's a nice place to visit, but people shouldn't live there (whether they're rich or not).
Kahtel 187 I agree 100%. I'm from the land myself. Born living off the land (hunting and fishing) and most important respect the land. The land is us. However as far as for profit, this did not start today, this started way back, when we sold out. Thats the sad part. The for profit came with, the sugar cane and pineapple. Then evolved to tourist. Very sad. I'd rather go back to just hunting and fishing, the simple life. But even that, almost no mo fish. Pretty soon no mo land. To the others, You know the other sad part, people who built in these areas knew the risk. So don't blame just the government.
Why would you evacuate the whole island? It's not a very small place - 93 miles across, with a mountain peak in the center that reaches almost 14,000 feet (which is NOT Kilauea Crater). It's bigger than Massachusetts. The majority of the island probably won't be affected much at all. But if you're in the immediate area of Kilauea, then yes - there are hazards.
Carlene Dickinson I've seen a lot of videos of him. He just seems to be a naturally happy looking person. I have a resting bitch face. Takes all kinds.
Carlene Dickinson This is a tragedy for the locals, but its also part of the lifestyle there, lava flows are nothing new, just where they go is new. Nobody that lives on Hawaii island is that surprised, this is expected eventually, they just hope not in their lifetime(s), so after a month of reporting every day basically the same thing, he’s going to try to give it a positive bent.
1) He lives in Hawaii. He should be happy just for that alone. 2) Hawaii has legal weed dispensaries, many of which are probably billowing smoke at the moment. 3) Even when it's raining lava, Hawaii is still amazing.
Carlene Dickinson It’s not a big event. It’s not a surprise event. It’s a normal event over a small area. Maybe explaining things to keep people informed is job satisfaction. He’ll be smiling more when he can report that the flows are slowing, fissures are becoming inactive.
many fake gods friends BUT only one can save the soul. the man christ Jesus/ Yahushua HaMashiach died and rose again according to the Holy Scriptures to save YOUR soul from everlasting perdition.believe it or NOT.
"the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?"
He just said distraction in place of destruction. Talking about there might be great things in the end. Civil stutter has begun and spilling out truth slowly.
It’s easy to see in this materialistic world how individuals could define themselves according to what they possess. But when you loose everything,well,that is when we ask the important questions. Christianity says we are ..” created in His image.” That is to see ourselves not as a material, but as a singular beloved creation. All creation,testifies that God exists. I pray that you will read The New Testament starting in the Book of John. You will understand how precious & beloved you are & the sacrifice of Jesus,God’s Son.
Kari Fredrikson as life goes on and gets busier I find that what you just said gets pushed farther and farther into the back of my mind. Thank you for helping to bring it back to the front for me. I sat down with my kids tonight and we talked about The Bible and His word and what is going on in the world and other people's lives. It's the first time we clasped hands and prayed together, for a good 8 months anyway. I don't want to get so sidetracked by nonsense that it takes a tragedy or something to open my bible or talk to my kids. Thank you. And thank you Heavenly Father.
So, does god get credit or discredit for Hawaii? Guatemala? Katrina? Ebola? Syria? Isis? Do not pick and choose . Don't try to rationalize. The basic principles of most religions are good rules to live by...if everyone did. They all claim one almighty being that created and will save them. Yeah and they're the ones on roofs signaling for help because of flooding they were warned about days in advance. Or in a grassy field with rabbits in cages, please save me now... cuz god or pele or the wicked witch of the north is fixing to fry my ass up.
Why does an act of nature require you to start pumping out this religious hogwash? Is it just that you see an opportunity to start preaching. Believe it or not, most people don't believe in your imaginary friend.
How blind are humans?? That rescue at the end,,why didn't they land right away? Can we say photo op,,also that guy has a habit of smiling in front of the camera,,ya I know,,I will get slammed for my comments,,eye intuitively see more than the screen shows,,no one is safe there and listening to these folks involved with all the alphabet agencies,,trust is mis placed,,much love,,love,,love,,,love
A month into this mess and noone has been hurt with one acception of a dude who was stubornly trying to save his buddies home. The civil defence is doing a really good job.
With all due respect Jess, you know nothing about the Hawaiian chain. The question is why the hell are people still hanging around their homes? They know they live downstream on an active volcano... (oh it's okay I'll stay in my house and be selfish and make people risk their lives to save me when my house is covered in lava)
I feel what she is trying to say is that the experts know how deadly the laze was going to be once it hit the ocean and they kept that area as a voluntary evacuation. The mandatory evacuation is back up at Leilani Estate. For voluntary evacuation there won’t be citations for not leaving yet look at the laze! That area should have been evacuated no matter what!! It’s insane. Hydrochloric acid but the people were under a voluntary evacuation...I don’t comprehend that at all. The experts think because they door knocked and informed people the experts have covered their legality. It doesn’t make sense now the whole world can see the wind blowing that deadly laze back onto the voluntary evacuation area 🙁.
N Poston ...If you love pineapples get ready to pay a whole lot more for them. Then again I hardly ever know what I'm talking about so take my statement with a grain of salt...
THE SMART PEOPLE ALREADY BAILED OUT FOR THE MAIN LAND,,,,THEY SEE THE WRITING ON THE WALL...THAT WHO;LE ISLAND CHAIN WILL HAVE TO EVACUATE VIA US NAVAL FLEET.....AL LA SAIGON...CHOPPER OUT...
The only way I can see the entire island bailing is if the quakes on the bigger volcano get a lot worse. So far it hasn't been bad, but if the big volcano goes, they gonna need to float, swim or fly outta there.
Iray Z f only this didn't happen every few decades I'd believe you. But it seriously has happened since the dawn of recorded history on Hawai'i and will continue to do so until the hotspot runs out of steam. There's nothing and no one to blame.
This current eruption started long before any "fracking". How about the 1955 and 1960 events? No PGV then. And no, they aren't fracking. Go push your nutjob agenda elsewhere.
I love seeing the face behind the voice! Much love for Civil Defense and the great work they are doing, stay safe everyone. Nature gave you something of a lifetime.
What a difference Civil Defense from Hawaii with the one in Guatemala do nothing for their own people.
Good advice! No need to feel helpless if you follow the great advice given by authorities such as we see here in this video
Hawaii Civil Defense is doing an outstanding job of helping and keeping the flow of information. Well done.
Talmadge, that's the first time I have seen you look so resigned, was sad but then you went on to note the potential for good to come out of this work of mother nature. E mahalo nui, e palekana. x
Excellent communication. It sounds like they are all doing the best that can be done.
Glad we can see how the island was made
Great job Talmadge!
Spent one of our most memorable vacations in a cottage on Waiopae. If you haven't been, this is one of the most lush and beautiful areas of Hawaii. Snorkeling in Kapoho Tide Pools was amazing. This is heartbreaking to watch. Thoughts and prayers for all those adventurous souls who made their homes in this little slice of paradise.

Hey howzit Talmadge! An old friend wanting to express my thanks on how you and your Civil Defense staff have handled this awesome series of events. Hard to see some of these old playground areas being lost to Pele but will always have memories of these beachfront areas. Be well my friend!
This has to be so heartbreaking for these people and then have to be in the forefront of public defense information, they are doing such a good job
I feel our County officials have done a terrific job handling this situation. Not so sure about Mayor Kim, but he did come out to Pahoa to speak with the people.

Fellow Talmadge here! Thanks for representing Talmadge !!
I love this guy!
Excellent attitude and plan. I so pray so !!
daddy talmadge is looking good
ritzyroxy yeah he's awesome
I like how this guys still smiles despite the devastation that's taking place
I bet because he is a Pele's worshipper and he is happy
Paul Austin what is a Pele worshipper?
Pele is the goddess of the volcano, They say Pele destroys the "bad people" and I bet he is happy.
I really wish the reporters would just listen some of their questions are just plain idiotic and time wasting if they just actually listened.
Jono H Fishing for drama!
No just you Wes.
Still praying Talmadge please Take Care 💗
I love Hawaii. It's a beautiful islands and beautiful people.
Mahalo nui loa Mayor Kim....

A beautiful place. Are people there able to have insurance to cover volcano and lava coverage? Here on the gulf coast people can get flood insurance.
What happened to the portable homeless houses that were moved from Kawaihae and kept in that lot by tin roof cafe?
nice guy.....
Nothing that can be done apart from the excellent job of communications by the authorities. Like all volcanoes, it's unpredictable
Where are all of the aerials of the Geo-Thermal Plant? Last I saw a few lava rivers separately knocking on the doors.
Looks as if Vacationland and Pohoiki areas are completely surrounded by lava.
this is the same interview as yesterday but with video added!
Mr. Magno,,,,,good job.
That video footage is old, I saw those greenhouse tarps burning up several days ago.
Anyone from Hawaii?
Like!

I like it.....like it yes I do, it's only rock and roll but I like it.
Is Talmadge now being sponsored by a shirt manufacturer?
is hawaii building homes for all who lost homes?
have other residences opened their homes to folks?
I have a question.. when the lava hits the ocean, does the motion stop at a certain degree and cool, then the lava behind it would layer itself on top of first layer. then mixed w ocean temp cool then stop moving forward, then next layer.. cont cont. so question is how tall of a layers would it take, for the lava flow start turning down the coast ( beach) instead of going over the highest layers of cooled lava in the ocean?

Has anyone reported on the wildlife?

It’s a small area and slow. It’s not Mt St. Helens
Animals know what to do.
Is there any possibility of controlling some lava flows
by building up berms of ground up lava cinders?
Preventing or stopping a small lava flow split might be
better than letting it split. I don't pretend to know

The answer has two parts in limited capacity some power poles etc have been saved in past flows by thermally wrapping and encasing in lava rock.

Actually sadly most people do want a gestapo type of government.

No, they don't.
Yeah and then you get people to afraid to be rescued because they'll get charged. We don't live in an authoritarian society and I've yet to meet any rescue helicopter pilot who sulks because of the job he strived for growing up.
Is there a map showing the route of the chain of craters road that they are doing?and are they also building a separate new road as a back up?
Could see the plume from just mauka of Mt. View
I live in Hawaii 😢😢😢 even I don't drive I go into my truck and turn on the truck but this is way easier then wast gas...
Talmadge should be wearing a big red 'S' on his chest.
i wonder how long that lava flow is that just got to the ocean
@DJ RAZORDGE OF REVELATOR -- I measured it quickly in Google Maps -- the main lobe is roughly 12.4 km (7.7 miles) from the approximate fissure 8 start going around the top of PGV, top of Kapoho crater then turning right down to Kapoho Bay.

I have an uninformed question... it looked, in one of those clips, like steam was moving from underwater... is there a fissure open offshore?
PBX Enterprises
Lava can boil water for long time even after its submerged
PBX Enterprises renewing the area back to pristine state, it is making another tidepool, lava goes out far
That Mango guy looks real a really nice fellow! No, I am not gay.
Not good news , tsunami time
Surely people who have evacuated from these areas can register somewhere so they get an idea of the numbers, not really good enough to say "oh we don't really know"...knowing the number of people effected gives us a better perspective of the scale of this disaster. Also would like to see some updates on the status of the shelters, have they opened more?
how strong is the lava?
imagine thousands of big rocks like cars moving towards you
Stubborn people endangering others
That’s what happens when people choose to live on a volcano. It’s just a matter of time.
that's like saying that's what you get for living on the mainland eventually you're going to get shot by a cop or a gang member

Why do reporters ask such stupid questions?
Bastage Smith they are not touch with native worldview
Let the peoples wish be their own .... That's cool!!!! but we not use to it hope them safe thoughts.
Talmadge is hot!! 😍
the lava over the PGV looks like spread bomb blast #-~
link??
the PGV is ok
There he is...grinning away like a simpleton
Okay, seriously, where are the pr professionals here? You are doing this press update in the sun, it is making you squint, which is making you look like you are grinning when people are losing their homes. I know it's just the sun in your eyes, but you need to do this release facing a different direction so that you don't look like you are Untouched by their tragedy. Hello? Professional people? Help this person look like he is doing his job with sensitivity and capability. I sense that he is, but he doesn't necessarily look like he is.
Why is he Smiling ?????
What happened to the power station, no word on that in days? Weird
@10JAQK -- No word because nothing new happened (not since the storage shed and drilling rig were destroyed). There's a video around from a couple days ago of a short overflight. It seems almost surrounded by lava but currently the fissures south of it are inactive, and fissure 8 is channeling lava past it at this point (that can of course change if the lava river breaks through its "levee". The USGS maps also show the area still clear.
💞I'm sick of the smirks&economy bs!!! Talmage=puppet.....obviously
Good riddance to the rich property owners. Now return the land back to indigenous hawaiians
I love the Aina! But fuck Vacation land!!!
You. Live. On. An. Active. Volcanic. Island. What. The. Fuck. Do. You. Expect.
"If you're a water person, you can go in and out of anywhere." :tup:
Now how much will all the 🗻🌋s going off all AROUND. the 🌍🌎🌏 dose ANYONE KNOW HOW THIS WILL EFFECT OUR WEATHER☀⛅☁⚡❄🌀🌊???? JUST A LITTLE FOOD FOR THOUGHT😔BE BLESSED💖
Just report the news keep your "emotional commentary/opinion" out of it.
How come no one is working with the government to pay for hotel rooms for these people. I would think if an elected person work 24/7 writing calling congress senate to get federal money asap to put people in hotels. WTF have every citizen of the USA in Hawaii call Washington multiple times a day to complain, send emails, put it in writing send them a tweet do every type of communication to ask for help. Come on people. You have no tourists so work out a hotel rate for government aide to put Hawaii citizens in those rooms. HELLO!! Pluck those nose hairs.
The Goddess Pele is watching the government of Hawaii to see how it treats her people. She say's ... "You care for my people I've displaced, and you treat all with the same justice or I will reap vengeance, and destruction on you the likes you have never seen..." I think she means "If the poor have to pay a fine to be rescued, so should the rich."
Let that be a lesson when you miss use the land for profit to enrich your pockets while our future children lose there chance to own a home because 90% if the homes are vacation homes or bnb's!
Kahtel 187 of which are very expensive to just have a week or so.same here in UK.beautiful holiday homes that would take a months wage just for a week..greedy holiday home owners,, its a disgrace, they think they own the views, thats why they charge so much,,!
This is so insensitive to say - those vacation home owners bought produce from the Hawain community, provided jobs, paid taxes, invested in Hawaii etc. Saying this is just plain stupid.
Regardless of who lived on this land, their homes would have been covered with lava and destroyed. Living beside an active volcano is a bad decision. It's a nice place to visit, but people shouldn't live there (whether they're rich or not).
Kahtel 187 I agree 100%. I'm from the land myself. Born living off the land (hunting and fishing) and most important respect the land. The land is us. However as far as for profit, this did not start today, this started way back, when we sold out. Thats the sad part. The for profit came with, the sugar cane and pineapple. Then evolved to tourist. Very sad. I'd rather go back to just hunting and fishing, the simple life. But even that, almost no mo fish. Pretty soon no mo land. To the others, You know the other sad part, people who built in these areas knew the risk. So don't blame just the government.
It makes no sense to say people can visit but shouldn't live there. Does everyone just pack up every day and fly back to Oahu?
Evacuate the whole "big" island. Why wait, till it's too late?
Why would you evacuate the whole island? It's not a very small place - 93 miles across, with a mountain peak in the center that reaches almost 14,000 feet (which is NOT Kilauea Crater). It's bigger than Massachusetts. The majority of the island probably won't be affected much at all. But if you're in the immediate area of Kilauea, then yes - there are hazards.
Rob Visser
The active area is 10 sq mi.
Kīlauea they put fence around it and it’s a park.
Put in perspective.
Why is he duping delight, or is he just being upbeat and positive despite the volcanic destruction?
Carlene Dickinson I've seen a lot of videos of him. He just seems to be a naturally happy looking person. I have a resting bitch face. Takes all kinds.
Carlene Dickinson This is a tragedy for the locals, but its also part of the lifestyle there, lava flows are nothing new, just where they go is new. Nobody that lives on Hawaii island is that surprised, this is expected eventually, they just hope not in their lifetime(s), so after a month of reporting every day basically the same thing, he’s going to try to give it a positive bent.
1) He lives in Hawaii. He should be happy just for that alone.
2) Hawaii has legal weed dispensaries, many of which are probably billowing smoke at the moment.
3) Even when it's raining lava, Hawaii is still amazing.
Carlene Dickinson
It’s not a big event. It’s not a surprise event. It’s a normal event over a small area.
Maybe explaining things to keep people informed is job satisfaction.
He’ll be smiling more when he can report that the flows are slowing, fissures are becoming inactive.
I think the camera isnt his thing. I tend to smile when nervous and through difficult times.
many fake gods friends BUT only one can save the soul. the man christ Jesus/ Yahushua HaMashiach died and rose again according to the Holy Scriptures to save YOUR soul from everlasting perdition.believe it or NOT.
mark621000 pele is older and will live forever
"the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?"
He just said distraction in place of destruction. Talking about there might be great things in the end. Civil stutter has begun and spilling out truth slowly.
Yeah sure...it's all a government created conspiracy. Nutjob.
Bran den
Or it might be some primo elephant weed he rescued from one of them greenhouses he mentioned. 😎
It’s easy to see in this materialistic world how individuals could define themselves according to what they possess. But when you loose everything,well,that is when we ask the important questions. Christianity says we are ..” created in His image.” That is to see ourselves not as a material, but as a singular beloved creation. All creation,testifies that God exists. I pray that you will read The New Testament starting in the Book of John. You will understand how precious & beloved you are & the sacrifice of Jesus,God’s Son.
Kari Fredrikson as life goes on and gets busier I find that what you just said gets pushed farther and farther into the back of my mind. Thank you for helping to bring it back to the front for me. I sat down with my kids tonight and we talked about The Bible and His word and what is going on in the world and other people's lives. It's the first time we clasped hands and prayed together, for a good 8 months anyway. I don't want to get so sidetracked by nonsense that it takes a tragedy or something to open my bible or talk to my kids. Thank you. And thank you Heavenly Father.
So, does god get credit or discredit for Hawaii? Guatemala? Katrina? Ebola? Syria? Isis?
Do not pick and choose . Don't try to rationalize. The basic principles of most religions are good rules to live by...if everyone did. They all claim one almighty being that created and will save them. Yeah and they're the ones on roofs signaling for help because of flooding they were warned about days in advance. Or in a grassy field with rabbits in cages, please save me now... cuz god or pele or the wicked witch of the north is fixing to fry my ass up.
Why does an act of nature require you to start pumping out this religious hogwash? Is it just that you see an opportunity to start preaching. Believe it or not, most people don't believe in your imaginary friend.
John Pearson Happens all the time with natural disasters. Their belief is based upon, and fueled by fear, and fear is the best form of control.
How blind are humans?? That rescue at the end,,why didn't they land right away? Can we say photo op,,also that guy has a habit of smiling in front of the camera,,ya I know,,I will get slammed for my comments,,eye intuitively see more than the screen shows,,no one is safe there and listening to these folks involved with all the alphabet agencies,,trust is mis placed,,much love,,love,,love,,,love
No one is safe where? Be specific.
EVACUATE THE WORLD, THERE ARE VOLCANOS ON IT!!!
A month into this mess and noone has been hurt with one acception of a dude who was stubornly trying to save his buddies home. The civil defence is doing a really good job.
With all due respect Jess, you know nothing about the Hawaiian chain.
The question is why the hell are people still hanging around their homes? They know they live downstream on an active volcano...
(oh it's okay I'll stay in my house and be selfish and make people risk their lives to save me when my house is covered in lava)
I feel what she is trying to say is that the experts know how deadly the laze was going to be once it hit the ocean and they kept that area as a voluntary evacuation. The mandatory evacuation is back up at Leilani Estate. For voluntary evacuation there won’t be citations for not leaving yet look at the laze! That area should have been evacuated no matter what!! It’s insane. Hydrochloric acid but the people were under a voluntary evacuation...I don’t comprehend that at all. The experts think because they door knocked and informed people the experts have covered their legality. It doesn’t make sense now the whole world can see the wind blowing that deadly laze back onto the voluntary evacuation area 🙁.
Wonder what all this costs rest of us?
N Poston ...If you love pineapples get ready to pay a whole lot more for them. Then again I hardly ever know what I'm talking about so take my statement with a grain of salt...
N Poston, not any more than you’d be needing if your location was devastated by a natural disaster.
Your God smirks at this dog and pony show and thinks it's a joke just like this guy.
Goddess Pele is angry from the violation of too much geothermal activity. Never should of did that on the volcano. She is calling me to Hawaii. 😍
Guess pele would prefer us to pollute the atmosphere by burning more coal? geez that's pretty selfish for a god.
You need some psychiatric help.
Wes Chilton get a sense of humor rude nut bag.
THE SMART PEOPLE ALREADY BAILED OUT FOR THE MAIN LAND,,,,THEY SEE THE WRITING ON THE WALL...THAT WHO;LE ISLAND CHAIN WILL HAVE TO EVACUATE VIA US NAVAL FLEET.....AL LA SAIGON...CHOPPER OUT...
The only way I can see the entire island bailing is if the quakes on the bigger volcano get a lot worse. So far it hasn't been bad, but if the big volcano goes, they gonna need to float, swim or fly outta there.
You really need to shut your ignorant face.
You might be a liberal-If you live on an active volcano that's been erupting since 1983 and thought "this could never happen to me".
Maxx Madden
Just stupid. It’s called the rift zone for a reason.
Been erupting 100,000 years. Lava flows on top of lava flows.
Everytime things happen.
Fracking is close by.
Ppls get trapped
Can’t blame the frackers.
Take the money and run.
Iray Z f only this didn't happen every few decades I'd believe you. But it seriously has happened since the dawn of recorded history on Hawai'i and will continue to do so until the hotspot runs out of steam. There's nothing and no one to blame.
Dembai
Are u sure?
To me is You can’t take from the land and leave a void and hope it doesn’t collapse
This current eruption started long before any "fracking". How about the 1955 and 1960 events? No PGV then. And no, they aren't fracking.
Go push your nutjob agenda elsewhere.
Iray Z
You can take heat. It’s heat.
