Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano - Behind the News

There have been some pretty amazing pictures from the island of Hawaii. A volcano there, named Kilauea, has been erupting and spewing out rivers of lava which have destroyed homes and cars. It's pretty scary stuff from a distance, so imagine what it's like for the people who live there. We caught up with some Hawaiian locals and found out more about their fiery mountain.

Don't worry, this is normal. It's gonna make the island bigger... It's how it was created to start with.

[@nicole4eva111]

Wow those kids speak better than some adults where I live.

[@supbro7689]

Two types of people in life which one are you 1. The type of person who is scared to death hurries and grabs all of their belongings and heads out the door to safety Or 2. The type of person who doesn’t give a crap and takes out their phone to video tape while they’re running out of time to pack

[@Marzyart]

This is the first time I see lava Its beautiful wow

[@triesha3278]

I remember this from last yr on the news *good old times*

[@stevieindigo4743]

Oh my god... this is so tragic..... ): my heart goes to Hawaii 💗

[@jmf8134]

When it comes to flowing lava, nature always wins! The whole island could blow up at any time, just like Krakatoa erupted in August 26,1883.

[@keithscudder7136]

Different type of Volcanoes made up, but they were all Shield Volcanoes. Shield Volcanoes don't erupt like Krakatoa did.

[@kimwilson3182]

I didn’t even know that volcanoes were still live, I thought they were all either dormant or extinct

[@jenniferowusuajoyjoy7174]

Oh my God so scary

[@lalalizama337]

[@sophiehoskins5642]

[@kodypierce3507]

[@KellyFoz]

[@alvareznivek2780]

[@TapuCocoa]

poor kids being forced to say "aloha btn"

[@onlythewise1]

oh nooooo the volcano god is mad

[@janicewilson9813]

If it is moving faster than a turtle can move then is there anyone moving to save the turtles and other animals?

[@kn9ioutom]

THIS IS MOTHER NATURE THROWING UP ???

[@morriganravenchild6613]

Awful if you live close by.

[@tobyhart9096]

I am sure the local fire department for the area could extinguish the fire by spraying the volcano with water but they will not do that because it costs too much money.

[@vtdl88]

Smart kids :)

[@marvinmanuel7433]

no kid, that is not cool

[@nonchalantelle]

God! Its like a pore and the oil in our face rhat will explode as a mountain or volcano like a PiMPLE!!!😁

[@carlton2361]

[@darkknightdelta2880]

Sebastian is beyond his years. A very mature young man.

[@FlyingWarChariot]

DarkKnightDelta Maturer then most liberals

[@hemantsharma8908]

DarkKnightDelta 👏🏽 M

[@jasonwheeler3238]

Flying War Chariot Its sad when you can't even watch a volcano video without mentioning politics.

[@ScottTheAngel]

It's so bizzare to just see magma oozing from the ground like that.

[@SunsetsAndLove]

Whoa be safe everyone! Also, that little guy sounds so wise, like a young teacher :) Take care!

[@FreedMind33]

That Lava is scary, it jumps on cars and pushes gates! Yikes!!!

[@inderpalsingh5426]

Mindful Awareness on your lif

[@VeggyZ]

Yeah, it does give you a reminder that lava is still stone - rock. More than enough power behind it even moving slowly like that to crush or move just about anything.

[@eatinbabiez]

Go to Guatemala and judge that lava moment

[@nootnoot959]

Sebastian is so adorable! C:

[@azistars]

Lava Moves down streets Steve: Hold my beer

[@Gojoyohoho]

Its not by a volcano its by te fiti!

[@MrInurbutt]

I was on top of that mountain a little over 2 years ago when I went to this island for my Make A Wish

[@ellapaki3718]

I was there

[@yowaddam2212]

When I was in Hawaii my dad and his friend and I were pig hunting and we’re were on a papaya field and the next day this volcano erupted and now its covered in lava

[@Thurston86]

I definetly feel for all the people losing their homes n property! Almost had to evacuate this past Spring and almost lost our home because of floods caused by Ice Dams.

[@_demonic__zombie_908]

When I went to hawaii after that everyone from the big island was in Oahu honalulu and it was packed we couldn't even go to pools and the ocean was packed we still had fun tho I hope nothing else happens mainly to Oahu because I love hawaii it's really fun

[@goodbyeisa333]

The little boy sounds so mature!

[@isaacchavez6714]

Technically speaking, according to my calculations, Lava is 2192 °F

[@Darkshadow-ll8ge]

Sebastian : ".... You don't see that everyday" Earth " "hold my beer"

[@christophermichaelclarence6003]

The true power of Akainu Sakazuki. Causing so much damage

[@shahzadaatiq5887]

I think it said to those people who are living near that volcano God help them I personally feel very sad I have only for them it is prayers.

[@reality6756]

Just wanted to say that boy in this video comes across as pretty sharp. Not sure how old he is but he talks like he's in his 20's. a lot more with the reality of things than numerous adults previously interviewed.

[@topofthegame5531]

I hope it goes good

[@aboxfullofmemes5306]

Cool!?!?!!?!!!? I would just cry and cry and cry and i would never stop i’m so scared of lava and if our house burned down i would scream so hard the my lungs would exploded!!!!!!!!

[@viehlee]
