I grew up in Kapoho beach lots, spent many days as a kid in that bay, honu ponds, beautiful gardens, spearfishing, Japanese glass ball collecting.... best place I ever lived, I know what it was and what was lost there, very special place that will live in my mind.... the day the bay was lost I called my sister and just cried......
Thank you so much for publishing this footage. My family was fortunate to visit Kapoho in the summer of 2017 and the house we stayed in is clearly visible near the end of this video. Mayor Kim's words are the perfect soundtrack for these images of creation and destruction.
Yeah my family stayed there just a week before this happened - I remember talking to locals - how there was no insurance . The holiday home we stayed in was lovely - i knew it was the owners retirement home - you could just tell - The warm pools down the road - the tree tunnel , the rock pools - was one of our favorite places in Hawaii - but Hawaii has many - Aroha from New Zealand to our Pacific neighbors
Excellent footage. My wife and I were on vacation, staying at the Military Camp in the Volcano National Park, when the eruption started. We had to evacuate that evening and found lodging on the opposite side of the Island in Kona. We drove back to the area numerous times to observe the lava flow as it began its journey to the sea. It was devastating to see the homes being destroyed and the lives being disrupted, but seeing it from this angle adds a new prospective to the whole incident. The mayor gave an excellent human account of loss of homes and livelihood of the residents. Our thoughts and prayers still go out to those who lost so much during the eruption and lave flow. Mahalo.
I seriously thought for a few seconds that there was another destructive eruption happening... saw this was posted 7 hours ago and saw the thumbnail before reading the title... WHEW.
wow, such incredible but sobering footage. there's truly nothing you can do against a force like that, even as slow-moving as it is. very sad for the people who lost their homes and livelihoods. thank you for this series unpacking all the new material, I remember when it happened but I'd never seen footage showing the scale of it like this.
5:50 the pool/pond that lights up by the sun was a property that I got to caretake to keep squatters out. The neighbor picked me up hitch hiking, in talking, realized that I had construction skills and was not on island to do drugs so they put me in that house. That worked out real well, a dream come true and a well needed escape form a awkward living situation. I was able to bring two friends into that house and an album 💿 was composed by my friend who goes by @MarkusMars . One week after I left the island the earthquakes started followed by the outbreak 🌋 Ironically a house I stayed in and helped renovate in California also burned down taking my guitar with it when I was in Hawai’i. Two places wiped out by natural disasters shortly after I left them...
@@jazzcatt my mom’s house still stands and so does my dad’s place. Plenty of other places I’ve stayed still exist. However, all we need is a nasty earthquake from the fault line that bears my name Andreas and more places will fall. It’s what the earth does over time I guess.
@@DynamicEyeStudios Oh yeah. I lived virtually on top of the San Andreas for decades. Now I'm virtually on top of the Rose Canyon Fault. When I move to KY this week, I'll be on top of the New Madrid fault. BTW, I was joking with you regarding what I said before.
Narrator who cant pronounce Hawaiian names and locations. Learn the area you.are in, its history and language. Hope this wasnt sent out to federal/mainland USGS for audio narration.Mayor Harry Kim was such a hero. Its hard to imagine other locations w/similar natural disaster and no injuries or deaths. His priority was always safety of persons in his county. he saved more lives in Hawaii County over the decades of lava flows Puna has endured. Mahalo Harry Kim for another of so many jobs well done for your island from 1970s-2020.👏⛩🌋
5:50 If you look at that place on google earth you get a picture from 2016. Using the history tab to move it to the latest date shows everything gone... wow.
I lived on the big Island for 25 years. Nani Opuna apartments resident from 2009-2016. The place across the pahoa skate park. I witness the raise and fall of Pahoa. Pahoa glory days from 2009-2018. The place will never be the same.

@@matthewwilson5019 Holy crap, how dim are you? "Mother Nature" is not a deity: any more than "Mother Russia." It's the personification of nature. I can't imagine how you've survived long enough to learn to type with that desiccated walnut you use as a brain. You should look into having it removed for the sake of humanity.
With all the new acres of land added back then who has the authority to sell it. Or do people just settle on it. Probably the Island government claims it.
I think someone a group engineered this volcano to force migration out of certain areas. like the calvary to the Indians. Hawaiian Islands belong to Hawaiians for their nation.
Developers pay Govt. to let them develop unstable land. Developers develop and sell to public. Land blows up. Everybody wins. Except public. Public loses.
The video was okay but it could have been better if some of the scenes that were shown were in chronicle order as he was speaking. It also would have been better if he pointed out which neighborhoods and roads he was talking about. Meaning I'm not from Hawaii and have no idea which sections or neighborhoods are called what called what. Or which streets or highways he is talking about. Meaning he should have the skill to point out with an arrow or circle or label the streets and specific neighborhoods he was talking about as he was narrating. I didn't even see any lake that the narrator referred to as if it was in the footage. Personally, I didn't want to hear the mayor ramble on so long with his story but at least that part I can see where a lot of people would have liked it. So this really is just a mediocre video. But at least it was bad.
They mentioned which area it was and also along which highway. Look on your google maps of Big Island and check out highway 130 and that will show you the area which got hit
@@kennyholmes5196 but they saw and know this area is ticking bomb right! Do you remeber 1800 hawai eruption or 1970 it will blow the fuck up almost entire area!
@@tomkrueger6556 Tell that to the people who lost their homes or lives to Mt. St. Helens when it blew. Or to Pompeii. Or to those in Japan. Or to anyone close to the San Andreas fault. Or to those in Guatemala. Or to anyone in Yellowstone's area of effect. Or to those on Iceland. Or to those in Australia, if you want to go the biological route instead of the tectonic route. Or to anyone who lives in the gulf area or Tornado Alley, if you'd prefer to go the weather route. Or to non-W.A.S.P.M., if you want to go the cultural oppression route. Or to humanity in general, if you consider how fossil fuels are wreaking havoc on our climate and the geopolitical stability of our world. TL;DR: Victim-blaming does nothing other than make the already-injured victims upset, and upset people tend to cause chaos on the order of magnitude of natural disasters. So don't victim-blame.

Mother Nature gives and takes. Thanks for the footage. The mayor is a wise and wonderful man.

I worked in the Pahoa recreation center/evacuation shelter during all this, while living in the shelter. This footage brings back a lot of memories
Thanks so much for putting the documentary together.

I lived in Kapoho for years during the 1980's. I did own a 5 acre parcel there. Now its under 40+ feet of lava. Me Ke Aloha Kapoho...
Thank you for putting together these videos. Excellent job!

Thanks for the great work you do. It is very interesting.
I have No words. Only pure sadness❤ Tears and many beautiful memories making so many friends.

that was A.W.E.S.O.M.E! destructive, but awesome
Wow that is heartbreaking 💔 and amazing.
This is fascinating to look at on Google earth. Flick between 2018 and 2019 and see the difference.
One side it’s sad but another this is nature ...
Awesome footage!
The robot that speaks the synthesised voice needs a salary increase.
@@BabbittdaWabbitt huh? He was referring to the narrator. I’m sure no disrespect was intended.
So heartbreaking. I was fortunate to have visited and swam in the pools with my kids. It was one of the highlights of our trip
You live on a volcano you gotta expected this at some point it’s sad but that’s nature
Awesome video
I pray for those people in their homes and their island
It’s old footage Linda 🤣 But hey can’t hurt can it 🙏🏻👍🏻
Thank you And I hope everybody’s doing OK take care God bless thank you for the response
Thanks so much for the video and info
Heartbreaking!
1:00 Wow what an image. Kapoho stood no chance.
Heartbreaking
Very well done.
In Australia our news does not show this.
Australian news prevents this on tv.
This is great information- thank you TH-cam
🙏🙏🙏
2 of 5, where's the other 4 videos?
Wonder why it took so long to release these videos
Sucks.. but theirs not a damn thing you can do about it.. Mother Nature is slow yet so destructive !!!

Nature wins.

👍
So glad I got to snorkel at Kapoho bay in 2014. Just heart breaking.
It's weird that buying land near an active volcano could turn out so badly. Huh
Not near an active volcano, buying land ON an active volcano! Literally on its (albeit horizontal) flanks; directly over the rift zone!
@@davidshaffstall8693 I stand corrected! LoL
Subtitulado en español es por estilo propio
I wonder when google maps will catch up to you guys your ony 2 1/2 years late.
So sad to see this
I think someone a group engineered this volcano to force migration out of certain areas. like the calvary to the Indians. Hawaiian Islands belong to Hawaiians for their nation.
Wtf they knew that was there and built homes (edit) and businesses on it anyway? 😳WHAT? 🤔WOW.
I pray for those are trying to destroy our AINA. Stop the Fraking.
This guy should try ASMR 🤔
Developers pay Govt. to let them develop unstable land.
Developers develop and sell to public.
Land blows up.
Everybody wins. Except public. Public loses.
live on a island that has a massive volcano you kinda get what you get i mean would you build on quick sand? lol
Old news
They should have gotten Christains to pray away the lava. I guess they did not think of that.
Lol people think this is happening right now lol 😂

Why do you waste folks time by not stating that this is from 2018
The title of the video states 2018. The narration also states 2018 several times. I guess you missed that.
It also says archive released
Lol...
You write well, for someone who can't read.
@@matthewsbernier Bwahahahahaha! He also writes well for someone who can't hear, LOL
Wow, volcanoes are so unpredictable and tragic 😥
Even relatively calm ones like the Hawaiian Hotspot.
True but people there are retards for building city and houses in large fully active volcano fields. The deserve it!
@@tomkrueger6556 Do you really have to victim-blame like that? It's just rude to those who lost their homes because they couldn't predict the future.
