Hawaii Volcano Eruption Update - Tuesday at Noon (June 5, 2018)

[@bluewaterpines8323]

Thank you for your honest reporting and updates.

[@misskittykatoo5060]

Thank you so much for your hard work.

[@f.larocque206]

I like that they are showing a wider scale of aerial coverage.

[@nanonano03]

Alas, an honest thumbnail and vid. Thanks. I hope everyone is safe.

[@ladykiri42]

Big Island Video News is almost always right on. You might want to make this and KHON2 your main place for lava news. I've seen a few others, and they simply are not to be trusted. This has led me to be even more leery of counting on them for real, honest news about anything else. No one has been killed by the lava, so that's a good thing.

[@slaychild1]

I'm sooooo sorry to everyone who lost their home. You are in my families prayers.

[@coad]

thank you for keeping everyone updated

[@MEDmohamedROUTINIYATE]

exactly God is everyone's judge

[@Metis1337]

stfu

[@MEDmohamedROUTINIYATE]

what is stfu ?please answer me

[@ladykiri42]

Med Boulghalegh - only reason I know it is because some have said it to me, at times. It means 'shut the f... up'. Not a very nice phrase, often used by those who can't think or spell. I'm wondering what a "metis" is...

[@MEDmohamedROUTINIYATE]

???

[@papabonedaddy4116]

This Eruption has claimed in 1 month, more homes and structures, than PuuOo ever did in 30 years....Unreal.

[@nancywhitmore3497]

Thank you for this video. I have been watching videos about this volcano for weeks now, and this is the first one I've seen where it's possible to see exactly where the fissures are in relation to the rest of the island! It puts everything in perspective! Thank you so much!

[@cpyle55]

oh how sad those images are. Thanks for the updates

[@joem5110]

It's not sad, it's nature doing what it does. That's how Hawaii was made in the first place, now we are witnessing the island changing and growing. I don't feel sorry for a house being lost that was built on a volcano.

[@smlacy]

Wow, I can really hear the sadness in his voice. So sad to see such a beautiful community wiped out.

[@TheUtuber999]

Steve Lacy Nah, that's just the laid back attitude of most Hawaiians.

[@sharonmarie236]

Steve Lacy I feel the same .. if you go on Zillow there were some truly bresthtsking homes and a beautiful bay wiped out by the flow

[@ladykiri42]

TheUtuber999 - How would you know?

[@TheUtuber999]

ladykiri42 Real-life experience of *actually* living there. What a concept, huh?

[@allenra530]

Thank you for the update from CD. This phase of the eruption has been very interesting to see. It is unfortunate that these communities were in the low ground where the lava had to flow. It is my understanding that Fissure 8 has been putting out a greater volume of lava than Pu'u O'o did during its most vigorous eruption. It was clear from the earthquake activity under the summit that there was magma coming up along the conduit from the hot spot, but rather than erupting up there, it was drained away along the tubes deep under the rift zone, with most of it coming up at Fissure 8.

[@woxineaucrows7355]

Thnx and Prayers from Canada ...the positive is if your Alive you can go on~

[@blackbirdpie217]

I think it's interesting that the lava is coming from far away at fissure 8, and it makes a right turn at Kapoho crater. This was the crater formed at the source of the 1960 eruption. So the old crater is cold but today's lava flowed over to it and went around it.

[@molehogadventures6615]

So beautiful and horrifying at the same time.

[@joebledsoe257]

Ya Know, This is going to mess up Google Maps. What a mess. Sympathies for all effected.

[@Indpendent01]

it's still messed up 2 years later lol... topographic not updated and kapoho area still shows vacationland/bay

[@crystalwarren1319]

my heart is sad for the residents of Hawaii

[@adampentz6011]

Wow! How often do we watch a bay become a peninsula?!

[@bradforrester3181]

And the birth of a new volcano too it looks like.

[@Vulcano7965]

What new volcano Brad? This is still part of the kilauea volcano.

[@teacfan1080]

This is a good example of how this island is building itself. That little bay has completely filled in and is extending outwards .7 miles from the shore.

[@ladykiri42]

TEAC Fan - we watched it from our back porch last night for awhile.

[@djcordes4352]

Is fissure 8 going to become the next Kīlauea?

[@Vulcano7965]

It is still part of the kilauea volcano. A new cone isn't a new volcano. It needs a seperate magma chamber to be classified as one.

[@janetairlines1351]

All of our maps of hawaii are now wrong

[@bobflendorg1064]

Janet: Google maps will sort it out shortly.

[@karenishness1]

Kapoho was so beautiful and serene. So sorry.

[@ayazsayyed8707]

WHICH PLACE'S ARE EFFECTED DUE TO VOLCANO

[@hawaiifiles]

Fissure 8 should be renamed "Pu'u Leilani"....

[@nanabanana6106]

I would like to wxtwm no my deep appreciation to Talmadge for his dedication to keep the public informed. I'm in CA and I follow wcwet news cast. My continued prayers for the people of Hawaii for their devastation. Enough, already Pele.

[@ladykiri42]

Nana Banana - does wcwet give honest accounts of this? Had to ask, since so many MSM either don't report on it, or sensationalize it. I cannot even begin to imagine moving from here to CA.. my sympathy, friend.

[@brendanh8978]

It's starting to look like it might be the next main vent, yeah.

[@plumeria8357]

Thank you for the great job you are doing.

[@AmericaWomannn]

So what happens if your wrong and something we have never seen happens? Is there a time when you leave?

[@gage4g]

This is beautiful as it is also tragic.

[@Weischeezy]

Hawaii is an amazing place. Love these natural events!

[@bonniemullen9820]

Our prayers continue to go out to you, please stay safe and be assured of our love to all of you who are going thru such a troubled times😘🙏🌄🌴🌴🌴

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

Fantastic Footage - Sad that nice Houses are burning down - but this is Mother Nature - it will Win every Time !

[@Katrinabuttles827]

is there a chance the lava will continue going to Honolulu?

[@Katrinabuttles827]

HaloLoreNerd thank you for the reply now i know.

[@dnomyarnostaw]

Good coverage. I am reminded of a problem lava flow in Iceland, where they pumped great amounts of seawater onto the edge of a lava flow to harden it into a dam wall. It saved the town. I wonder if some of the last remaining "pockets" of houses near the beach could use the same technique.

[@janettaschuch3591]

Ray Watson -- not with warm sea water. Iceland sea water is always some of the coldest.

[@jackstrada5263]

Ray Watson Yes they could have and should have done this starting back when Kalapana, 10x more amazing than Kapoho, got taken out. I guess it's ok to build fishponds and divert rivers to feed water to taro fields but it's forbidden to alter a lava flow to save the only accessible part of the coastline.

[@dnomyarnostaw]

Good point. Tropical water can be up to 30d C, but of course Arctic water is close to 1dC. Even so, when the Lava is about 1,200dC it doesn't seem that critical. Certainly, it solidifies when it hits the Ocean water as we can see.

[@dnomyarnostaw]

Jack - I can see some logic in not using fresh water, but there is plenty of sea water near the coast, as I mentioned.

[@cruman87]

Ray Watson It would take an enormous amount of money to get the equipment needed and with no guarantee it would work and no way of knowing how much longer the eruption will last, it’s not worth it.

[@leifharmsen]

The amount of energy is awesome.

[@dianelafreniere1362]

Thank you for the updates!! Very sad to see these homes and lands burned. 😰

[@overandout6422]

Glad its such a tiny portion of the island. There's only 100 homes in that area- look how many survived!

[@joem5110]

Looks like the maps will have to be updated when the volcano is finished making new land.

[@Ck-zk3we]

wow! the Hawaiians where right about Pele.

[@hnttakata713]

Is the road down to Uncle Roberts open to public to take donations, to Ke'lii'ho'o'malu ohana?

[@erictaylor5462]

You guys are getting some amazing pictures. But the cost.... Well, at least this kind of eruption doesn't lead to many deaths. Unlike in Guatemala.

[@1joyselyn]

Forget the pictures of pilot and camera man, and yes we appreciate their service. Personally would rather see fuller recording from Mauna Loa down thru killawea and home to ocean front.

[@mrlightsoutboy]

Big earthquake there and hilo has nothing. Is that area already not connected to the big island?

[@canteregonda746]

I would think they could have researched how to control lava flow by now...it's been weeks...maybe some sort of metal barrier that won't melt from the lava heat????

[@maddadd1]

Mother Nature is Awesome

[@munk_ken]

Impressive how fast that lava created a new peninsula out of a bay.

[@mattglumactheautisticgolfe1608]

The destruction is beyond anything imaginable. Residents probably won't bother to rebuild. The population of Puna probably half of what it was before the eruption.

[@nancypeteja6560]

This is incredible! Nature doing it's thing! Wow.😲🌋

[@bobhartwick]

Goodby, Kopoho Bay, Hello, Cape Kopoho! So now USGS has a LIVE STREAM of the summit maw of Kilauea - Halema'uma'u is whispy, quiet, peaceful - sleeping - like SMAUG! 800+ watching now. Pressure building? Who knows. Be nice to see the seismograph trace below the picture. Who will be watching when the collapse plug is blown into the stratosphere? The quiet before the storm.

[@ssPeto]

bobhartwick--I hope you are wrong but I have a feeling you're right...

[@bobhartwick]

City17.76 And they didn’t even provide a ROOSTER! Bogus, Dude.

[@bobhartwick]

City17.76 The Ruster has got every motile insect refugee from southeast Hawaii to eat. He’s probably too fat to catch the hens!

[@johnjacob1385]

I can’t believe Kapoho is gone.I use to learn how to swim their when I was 2.Im still hoping Hawaiian beaches won’t evacuate this time

[@dragonridley]

Looks like some beachfront property is no longer beachfront.

[@nightwaves3203]

Learn from mistakes. I don't know who went into coast region to warn and advise but seems practical to take names and check them off at roadblocks when leaving if wanting to make sure residents are safe. Hearing answers like not sure how many are in there I just wonder if it was police or CD that did the door to door. If so, what the heck guys.

[@JR-yq9qi]

NightWaves--There's a shit load of un-permitted homes down there and pretty sure those people don't have a physical address and probably don't want the popo to have their names.

[@nightwaves3203]

Yah and don't stand downwind of burning greenhouses due to the butter hazard.

[@christinahansen2023]

OMG! hawaii volcano is matching anger issues to mountian st helans volcano anger issues in 1980s

[@mugshotmarley]

.7 miles of new land out in Kapoho Bay. Not only getting rid of stubborn mainland gated community folk (not all, some are down to earth locals) but also new Ulua fishing grounds!

[@mightyfredster6813]

FREE TOMMY

[@MrFrdrcknorman]

These people have no lava insurance they have no homes, what is Hawaii going to do for long term homes for these people?

[@chesterfinecat7588]

Um, there's millions of homeless people nobody is doing nothing for. Sorry these lost their piece of paradise but, if handouts are on offer, I bet my net worth is way less than most of the lava-dispossessed.

[@bobflendorg1064]

Fred: How about these people get a job and rent a place to live.

[@Crowfolk]

That's heartbreaking to hear someone took their life. Makes me sad. God bless you all over there!!!!

[@ForestNinjaZero]

The United States Federal Government is obligated to compensate them for property loss until they can be relocated safely. The evacuees are not liable for the decisions of state and/or federal authorities who were fully aware of the high probability of natural disasters in those regions prior to zoning of land.

[@ladykiri42]

Fred Norman - I'm quite certain that those who lost their homes aren't sitting around waiting for the county or state to supply them with new homes. Perhaps you also don't realize that for the people here, if they have friends or relatives, they go there, and all the ohana live together for awhile.

[@catherineg.4720]

What other volcanos are around island?

[@catherineg.4720]

So sorry

[@shanemedlin9400]

Cathys Happy there are five. Kilauea is the active one, Mauna Loa is the biggest volcano on earth and is considered active as well. The others are either dormant or extinct.

[@carlosvillanueva8530]

Lo'ihi is a seamount off the coast of the Big Island which will be the next island in the Hawaii Chain. Hualalai, Kilauea, Mauna Loa , all are active on the Big Island, Haleakala on Maui is the 5th active volcano in the Hawaiian islands Chain.

[@catherineg.4720]

shane medlin are any showing any action within?

[@catherineg.4720]

Thanks Shane Appreciate Your Answer.

[@mariannlowe4404]

hope they got everyone out of there

[@eunicealmeida8712]

That's just so sad! May God protect you guys and keep you safe!

The last shot shows the fissure that has turned into an active cinder cone.

[@nicholaswitkowski]

Why do we need to see a guy in a helicopter taking pictures in thease videos ?

[@0weirdo253]

Why on my bff's birthday..? WHY

[@jennk7987]

Why are hotels not offering rooms? Why do people need to stay in shelters? All mandatory evacuees should have a voucher for a hotel in the area.

[@marionwilson8141]

Unicorn Queen no money

[@hawaiifiles]

Tourism is hurting on the Big Island. The last thing hotels can do is give away free rooms. County and state finances are wearing thin. Federal funds will be needed to help many of the people. I am sure government is working to get a FEMA declaration for emergency funding.

[@virgilslove6852]

Unicorn Queen I totally agree.

[@leifharmsen]

The Hawaii Files Channel: If tourism is hurting then there must be plenty of rooms free. It's when tourism is booming that I could understand hotels not being able to afford any space. I can't believe all Americans think like the toddler-in-chief; surely some hotels are run by adults who understand that it could as easily have been their hotel under lava and local people inviting into their homes the displaced guests.

[@davidkennedy3050]

Lief- I think you should buy a dozen hotels and give the rooms away for free. Then please video record the employees when they come to you mad as hell because you'r broke and can't pay them.

[@judieg.7945]

Where is engineer Tom who kept us informed about the geothermal plant, also the Ormat employee to discuss updates about the geothermal facility, aren't they an important part of the civil defense mission?

[@ladykiri42]

I think he stopped putting his input with the reports since the roads closed off any possibility of anyone getting to PGV.

[@JR-yq9qi]

As soon as lava covered their access road, they bailed back to the mainland.

[@laurabarber6697]

since the tourism business is gone will be using the hotels to house all the newly made homeless people!

Gracias Teresita Viera.

[@jasonkhan854]

Many of the areas that were destroyed by the lava were properties that were owned completey by people who had alot of money. I am not particularly saddened by rich people's losses, because many people who were poor their whole lives had nothing! Finally, there will be rich people who will experience what it is like to be homeless! God is good!!! Vengeance is his!!! The LOVE OF MONEY is the ROOT of ALL EVIL! 1 TIMOTHY 6:10.

Waa Waa Rd is near Nanawale Park to the north of the flow, not in the danger zone.

[@TheUtuber999]

I always thought that meant water.

[@ladykiri42]

TheUtuber999 Only to a mainland toddler. Many of our places, roads, towns etc. are Hawaiian names.

[@aiferapple1246]

Ahhh I see now. I thought it was some sort of fruit because he says about the roads being open for Waa Waa and Papaya Farms

[@lianita4701]

Lava just fall in to ocean that mean Hawaii become more bigger...?

[@sockpupppetextraordinaire7187]

Why would you build a home near an active volcano....you rolled the dice and came up with snake eyes. I bet you still have to pay the mortgage though.

[@Windreaver256]

Sockpupppet Extraordinaire pretty narrow minded of you, don't you think? Most of the world is prone to natural disasters, so it really doesn't matter where someone builds their home.

[@jeffbingaman2754]
