Man, look at how advanced we've become in the terms of current events. Drones being used for indepth views of on the spot recording (great picture too) without putting a person in danger.

I followed this at the time. It was a spectacular event and now you are giving us a birds eye view which we haven’t seen before. My sympathy to the residents who lost so much.

I've never been to Hawaii and have never seen a volcano. But trying to wrap my head around a 200-foot tall lava geyser blows my mind.

I live in Georgia and really enjoy these volcano updates. LOVE'n this guy's voice and script, too. Calm, straightforward, to the point, etc. Great journalism! Keep it up, my good sir.

I followed the whole eruption cycle of 2018 from start to finish online and was spellbound, and later studied Hawaii as best I could online as weill. A beautiful facinating place and people, and an island chain formed by the most awesome forces on Earth. Thanks for the video Big Island News !!!!

I remember watching Scott's coverage of this over on his channel (ApauHawaiiTours) and I was hooked. It was so alien from anything happening in NC at the time....

Just incredible footage. Sad for the homeowners who were in the path; but when you live next to a volcano....

I’m excited to see future videos! Thank you for making this video series.

YALL did such a Great job bringing valuable, professional videos to keep the World informed then and Present Day! Local, Government Officials stayed calm yet diligent through that stressful, sad event‼️ Harry, the Civil Defense leader, and ALL workers were extremely tired but used their training to protect the Citizens‼️. Truly Heros‼️

I remember all this thanks too Scott’s channel if anyone knows who that is he covered a lot of the eruption

Wow stuff. Amazing info and amazing footage. I was very surprised at far away from the lava fountain the lava River was flowing.

WOW what a great video. Thanks so much for the video and info.

WOW! See, I never knew about that eruption. Living in central NY I guess they don't think it's important for us to know what happens in other places that are far away, WRONG! Thanks for your channel sharing. 👍

Can't wait to see the rest of the series!

Thank you I really enjoy your updates

I'm glad these videos are finally getting released.

I can’t wait to see more of these videos. Although you can’t really beat Scott’s video footage of the eruption!

Thanks! The USGS release is massive and I appreciate you cherry picking some nice videos!!! I have a 2gb fiber optic connection and was still scared of all those multi-gigabyte files.

Whoa great video! Great details!

This is basically a warning to all residents. Releasing this material now as the lava lake and lava tubes recharge is timed to remind people of what is coming again soon. Many residents are still unprepared mistakenly thinking that there will be a repeat of the earthquakes that preceded the last eruption. The amount of lava flowing into the lake is only a small portion of the current underground lava build up in this area. Hopefully here will be a warning like the lava lake draining so people have time to flee.

That's so beautiful, time to swim in the lava lake

Great video!

Good job. Thank you

Amazing footage.

Amazing, but so sad for community.

Volcanos are stunning. They are destructive but beautiful. It also amazes me how big they actually are. Due to the distance the video was taken from they seem much smaller.

im suprised how few people know about this, i followed this every day as soon as i learned about it

Ahhhh I remember all if this back in 2018. Had multiple taps open with seismic activity for all of hawaii as well as news videos open as I watched and monitored all the events. There were even group chats talking about the huge spikes when other fissures opened up. I also remember the lava lake being so dangerously low that they thought the ground water would drain into it causing a huge explosion (luckily that never happened...)

Amazing. 🙏🏻

Robot voices are getting better

I had visited the Big Island 2 years before and remember driving through this area. So sad for the families.

I remember being fixated for any images of the eruption and then fissure 8, watching every day (and night) seeing history in the making and nature at its rawest.....

I appreciate this footage being released. Beautiful to watch, but sad because of all the destruction it caused.

Wow!

Gday mate, i remember watching it LIVE. Why did it take usgs so long to release it publicly? Hope the people that lost their homes haven't had to wait this long to see their homes dissolve or if there was chance to save their homes. Thanks for doing your part by uploading the video. 👍🇦🇺👍 Aloha

Beautiful - Is there anywhere the general public can access the videos to view?

Mayor Harry Kim long time with Civil Defense and residency in general area of previous lava flow. He knows alot about Kilauea'a eruptions

Why was this video not readily avabable?

200 ft lava fountain... damn!

It is painful to watch. My heart goes out, still, to those who lost so much more that their physical structures...they lost a way of life. It will never quite be the same again.

TANK YOu

For scientists it's good to research for people it's really hard to sustin their livehood,

Love this channel. I always watch your videos as soon as I see a new upload. But fr though, can you tell us what program you use to synthesize the narration? I need something to read a couple books that aren't available in audio format while I am driving and everything I've tried to far sounds like Stephen Hawking's computer if you put it right next to the lava for 15 minutes and then threw it in a bucket of water.

💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏

I could see where the house I had lived in used to be in this video 😳

I remember looking out my window and Watching llava bombs Being blown into the sky as fissure 8 showed us how quick our lives can change.

Unoccupied aerial vehicles?? Are they allergic to the word "drone"?

Sad though for people that live here!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

@4:55 mark look and you can see a baby tornado develop just to the right side of the fissure.

Same...the Paleolithic...times... 😮

If this videos were taken 3 years ago, they should have been released 3 years ago.

It was quite the event.. I use this event as an example when people talk about the homeless like they are just drug addicts and mental patients.. We had so many homeless basically over night because of this event.. granted a good percentage of those homes lost were vacation rentals.. A lot of actual residents were displaced . forever they had some of them sheltered at the park in pahoa.. Others tried to squat at the parks on the dry side of the island because the weather was bad.. And they all got that homeless treatment.. Move it along!.. You get the help and the hate.. And no door or window to shut that world out.. That's why my house is mobile.. It's all about the land not the home.. Its Hawai'i anyways.. I spend most of my time outside usually.. Unless the weather is trash.. But then again i bought land in lava zone 3 not 1 and 2.. I ran for mayor of Hawai'i county in 2012 because i wanted to be prepped for this eruption.. It's predictable.. It was obviously going to happen.. I mean the lava almost took out pahoa just before this eruption.. But they had to go and blast that lava tube which lead to this event.. Still predictable.. It would have been better if we let the lava flow out over the flatter lower parts.. Rather than build up Mauka getting top heavy on an unstable shelf.. Aka the east rift..

Subtitulado en español.. Es por estilo propio

I hope there isn't a eruption at keaau

My best thoughts go to the residents of these devastated neighborhoods, to their family members and their pets too✨This is only too disturbing to witness. My best thoughts for them.

A few thousand days late and; a few dollars short

Where are all the diamonds

The good news now several years after the lava flow is owners in Leilani Estates will sell you their home there for 400 thou or an acre of land for 45 thou !..such deals .....crazy world we live on....

👍

I'll never get why people want to live there... visit, yes. Any time, I'm down diggity with that. But I couldn't risk losing all my belongings like that.. I can only imagine how those who lose their msot precious things like pets, ashes of loved ones, or even family members..

Very dangerous 👍👍👍

Unfortunately what happens when you live on an island created by an active volcano 🌋 no brainer really 🤔

SAY IT RIGHT, KĪ + LAU + EA

Very sad.

poor people

A big f u to ige who thinks hes emperor of hawaii. I still think pgv had something to do with it.

I hope Pélé buries every geothermal plants along with the military bases.

The geothermal facility caused it!!!

This is why I wouldn't want to live in Hawaii.

TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION If I die today will I go to Heaven? Why would anyone put off the most important decision they could ever make in their lives, concerning eternal life? "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of god-not by works, so that none can boast." EPHESIANS 2:8-9 Moreover, Brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you believed in vain. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, and that he was buried, and the he rose again the third day according to the scriptures. 1 CORINTHIANS 15:1-4 The ABC's of Salvation: A: ADMIT THAT YOU'RE A SINNER. This is where that godly sorrow leads to genuine repentance for sinning against the righteous god and there is a change of heart, we change our mind and God changes our hearts and regenerates us from the inside out. B: BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR YOUR SINS, WAS BURIED, AND THAT GOD RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD. Believe in your heart that Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried, and that God raised Jesus from the dead. This is trusting with all of your heart that Jesus Christ is who he said he was. C: CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD. This is trusting with all of your heart that Jesus Christ is who he said he was. Every single person who ever lived since Adam will bend their knee and confess with their mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings.
