Kilauea eruption in Leilani Estates fissure 8 update from Luana 4:03 PM May 30, 2018

[@lookinq4truth389]

I love going exploring with you. You seemed quite chipper this afternoon. Cracked me up a couple times so thank you. I needed a good laugh. Looks like your having fun. Have a good nite. See ya tomorrow. 😊

[@alisonthomas47]

I’m with you on the good laugh thing Carrie I also needed a good laugh and got one, or two, or three as well

[@kaumingo]

Scott, Tour guide extraordinaire.......that was great. You poked around just like I would have while the folks chatted! Awed by tree molds....yes!!

[@bobholland9924]

I've been watching you on 999 didn't see you this morning all the video they showed was USGS and no voice thought you might have got in trouble the other night . I really dig exploring with you . Aloha

[@KerryLimpus1]

"Class, what do we have here?" Love that you want to show us everything you see. Thank you for the videos. I'm saddened by the destruction, but seeing this phenomena daily is fascinating. Of the ones posting, I have to say I like your commentary the best. Please don't change a thing!

[@janetdoten4489]

"What do we have here?" Singed eyebrows! Lol! When you were looking down the tree mold hole! Thanks for sharing!

[@mocat1]

😯 Woah Nellie. All those tree molds. Oh! Those needles look awesome. Thank you for pausing so we could look at them.

[@jasonmero2245]

Wow, absolutely AMAZING! Not just because of the views of the fountain but you’re also pointing out all those other little things. Thank you so much, thát’s what makes it feel like we’re there. The poking things with a stick, looking down holes and cracks, thát’s what makes it real. And I could listen to you talk about this all day. The running commentary is what I love so much about your vids. Because it’s not just the pretty pictures, it’s all of it that makes this so special.

[@johnderheim1091]

I really thought I would see a Ponytail in your shadow, maybe years prior for sure . You just seem like that type of Soul , love and prayers from Reno NV.

[@Chronic-Boom]

Thanks again for sharing more videos you're still doing great I really enjoy the longer daytime videos and hearing other people talk too. Friendly reminder to not forget your mask, gloves, umbrella, flashlight, walking stick, and hard hat. You make me laugh when you say the lava is hot haha.

[@kalimakahikina6975]

Bless you(automatic respond)🙃(Scott whispering) that's another txt message!🤣😂hahaha! Beautiful Day! Whoa! Tree mold, way COOL! AWESOME!! Thank you for that "pause". Thank you Scott! It's always fun to hang out with you! Have a great day, be safe please! I miss Goliath and Griffin. Mahalo nui loa mai Kakou, Malama Pono

[@burkewillis]

The way the lava is folded around the tree mold from 10:20 to 10:30 is fantastic!

[@alisonthomas47]

Bless you for the sneeze. And loved the honking big trees comment. Just imagine if those trees could actually honk 😂😂😂

[@jgingram]

I love the Aloha spirit even from the residents facing the loss of their home. True, devastation but good spirits nonetheless. ❤️

[@Cherriedsalmonbowl]

Interviews with your neighborhood residents add layers of useful info.

[@srazzie71]

Another great spectacular video! Keep up the great videography Scott.

[@CatLover-lk9gz]

Just a suggestion as you often seem lost for words or discussion topics for your early morning videos from your back yard, how about talking to us about some of the thoughts you have had in regards to the major change in landscape this is having. I assume that you have driven down many of the roads that are no longer there. I myself (as I'm sure many others have as well) have looked at satellite photos of what the estates area looked like and then compare it to the fly over pictures of today with just miles and miles of black scorched earth. What are your thoughts as an islander? Thank you again for all that you do to bring us along with you on this adventure.

[@CrazyBackwoods]

the longer videos are nice dont worry about it being 14 mins keep up the good work and informing us around the world. alot better coverage from you then any news station in the 48 states is showing

[@thebordenasylum7726]

More insightful than some documentaries dedicated to this kind of thing. Purely mind boggling

[@SSArt98]

Those tree molds are awesome, thanks for sharing!

[@jacd751]

My daughters(P-age 8, M-age 7) cracked up at "*whisper* that was another text message"😂 Thank you once again for these videos!! P & M can't wait to tell their friends at school tomorrow about the "lavascicles". I think they are probably about the most educated & up to date 1st & 2nd graders in Minnesota in regards to Kilauea, lava & volcanoes in general....aside from the generic overview they get in science class, volcanoes aren't something high up on the topic list around here. So thank you once again for the incredible education your commentary and videos provide! Stay safe!

[@tammiea8552]

You're so funny Scott, "one moment please". Haha

[@J.Cameron.Stuart.Adams.]

Tammie A It cracks me up every time he says it. I seriously LOL. Cheers from Seattle

[@tammiea8552]

Cameron Hollis he is funny!! Cheers from Columbus Ohio!! Aloha Scott

[@sharon94503]

Bless you. The positiveness that I keep hearing from homeowners is something to behold. I enjoyed hearing the folks talk about the destruction.

[@a.kenneth3521]

Thank you, again, for your amazing updates! 👏🏻🤟🏼

[@Honugirl]

Wow Scott! I can’t thank you enough for your videos and commentary. I feel like I’m right there with you! I’ve been watching with you since the beginning! 😉 I was there, in Hawi, when the 5.4 and 6.9 earthquakes hit on May 4th. 😳. My sons have an organic plant nursery and landscaping business in Hawi...Aikane Nursery, so they aren’t in eminent danger but I still have been very interested in keeping up with all of the updates. You are the best at posting several videos throughout the day and I can’t wait each day to wake up to see what’s in store! Sorry if I’m rambling but I so appreciate you and what you are doing for all of us that can’t be there. Thank you again for your positivity and down to earth commentary! You’re the best! Mahalo nui loa my friend!

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

Mahalo!

[@sherrypalmer782]

I love your fascination with tree molds NM

[@erintreez]

Wow!!! The fountains in Vegas have nothing on fissure 8. I could watch Pele's fierce beauty all day....Another captivated student in the class..... 😎 Btw I pray for the continued safety of you and your companions, furry and otherwise. Also, my heart goes out to those who have lost so much. It's heartening to see how much people look out for each other in the community. Mahalo 🍀

[@subiedoo7011]

Gotta love how thoughtful and concentrate you are of others! So awesome! Even that Fly! We need more of that in our world more than ever! Thanks for pausing to show us that at the end! Incredibly awesome looking! Great Video Scott keep'em coming and may the journey be a safe one my friend!

[@twubbl1]

Scott, I absolutely adore you. Thanks for the pause. 😉

[@marcielston3019]

Thanks again for the videos. Interesting talk w/ the neighbors.

[@joandavidson2996]

Awesome Scott. Your videos are amazing. So many interesting details. Tree molds especially.

[@calsteele9596]

Another great video. I loved the conversation in the background. Everyone seems to be in good spirits about the situation.

[@christinafallah1200]

That’s nice of you to give way to Charles haha always looking forward to your videos!!!

[@jayroller7054]

Much love brother! Thank you for all you are doing!

[@MW-gs8wz]

Be safe your awsome

[@J.Cameron.Stuart.Adams.]

Scott; Just pull the menu down and select "Flight mode". It should be an airplane icon. That pauses all incoming data and calls. Once you're done filming, click the icon again to retrieve everything that came in while you were filming. Cheers from Seattle!

[@88squirlz24]

Thanks for letting me vicariously explore Lava Land from all the way here in La La Land. Love the spontaneity 👍🐿

[@LardGreystoke]

You can see the organic material settling in the cracks in the pahoehoe. Add a little acidic water to break it down and you have the makings of little pockets of new soil almost instantaneously.

[@sharonkloster5832]

[@VictorianStudio]

You can sure tell that you are skilled as a tour guide. Your virtual tours are really so interesting and I love the longer videos. I may never get to Hawaii, but you taking us all along like this really gives at least a taste of what it's like to be there. Thank you so much. Be safe (oh and I passed your pop quiz!) ;)

[@martinf6448]

Love your tours,keep it up scott.

[@benec5816]

Take care looking for tree molds stay safe

[@listenlearn5445]

There is so much learning going on here. Just fantastic . I feel like I'm going on this incredible journey, a virtual classroom field trip and Scott, you even give pop up quizzes! If I had to guess, which I do, I would venture to observe that given that the lava cools relatively quick and when the flow loses the force driving it along, the voids made are something like the bread dough analogy you made a while ago, and it cools like baked bread. Maybe that's a poor analogy. Just one tiny example of the world of learning opportunities you are sharing .........it's a very exciting adventure. Thank you so much .

[@jimterryh1983]

At 12:27 you pointed out lava cycles. I also saw heat waves. You were standing on very hot lava. Please be careful. Hawaiians seem to have a calm attitude toward this eruption. Best not to get upset.

[@brndn2208]

Tterry Hyde I also seen the heat probably pockets of lava underneath.

[@wendiew.1464]

These sites are incredibly fascinating & devastating

[@JR-yq9qi]

Scott, thanks again for keeping all of who have no access up to date. I would hope that by now most everyone in Leilani is familiar with you and your work, but with the attempted shooting earlier today, stay safe brah.

[@suethomas6719]

Loved the view of the needles and the tree molds. Thanks Scott.

[@ArsRob]

Hey Scott, thanks for all the fantastic videos, you really do a great job....what are you doing for potable water at home? Does your drinking water only come from catchment tanks or do you have a well? I pray the Lord will keep you safe..

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

I have catchment...all good

[@richardbaker4019]

hiya scott, I got to visit Kilauea back in 1991. my wife and I visited Hilo in 2011 on our 1st anniversary. we never went to Kilauea on that visit cause she is a Pinatubo survivor. our hearts and prayers go out to you all. stay safe.

[@77noctiluca]

Great Job Scott! Wow that thing is blasting like crazy...

[@brownie4917]

it's unreal It's fun traveling with you

[@robburleson7439]

Scott, many thanks for the walkabouts. We get a perspective unlike any other. And yes we heard your neighbor accepting the going ons around him. So sad that this has to be. We are thinking of you all, not that that helps. Thanks again for keeping us in the loop like no other. Peace brother

[@vinesauceobscurities]

No advancement down the street since you checked. So far, so good.

[@ronhatcher7734]

Thank you Scott!

[@jasonpalacios1363]

You know I like your videos about the volcano situation in Hawaii than the media and the USGS because you're more accurate and it doesn't seems so bad know compare to last week and before.

[@brsrc759]

Are you able to get to the south end of Luana Street? My house was on the high ground where the road leveled out just curious if it's still there. On the east side of Luana

[@yvonnebest1823]

Very cool!! Thank you and stay safe. 😄

[@josephastier7421]

It would be very tempting to hike up to the rim of the lava pond...but I would not be brave enough. A cool breeze blowing across a hot lava lake would be lethal on the other side.

[@Honugirl]

By the way, love your logo! I’m a big Honu fan! 😉🐢

[@vickyhilligoss8008]

Thanks Scott! That was cool! Love your video's:)

[@joyleenpoortier7496]

Another great video

[@Laurajanehahn]

bless you

[@dfortini1056]

is 'lavacicles' a thing? Really enjoy your walks, Scott, thank you! Please be safe!

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

Yes, it really is a thing.

[@Stacey505]

God bless you when you sneezed

[@jobethk588]

Thank you for pausing on the cool closeup. Class? TREE MOLDS! Was that a greenhouse or barn to the right? Was there HOT lava under crust you were walking on? Cool seeing Big Number 8 from different place. Thank you.

[@johncoe6436]

Crikey! I was a little scared on that lava, when i was a child i fell into hot coals that were under cold ashes. My feet were badly burnt and they are feeling really uncomfortable right now but ty for the tour! :)

[@sewmeonekenobi639]

Love the shadow shot.

[@spiritualhouse2]

If you ever come to fl let us know. I'm sure there is alot of people here that would love to meet up with you

[@salado53]

Good job, keep at it.

[@wildmustangart1577]

I remember being there and people talking about removing the Albezia trees because they were invasive. I guess this is one way to do it. :O

[@Bethylee]

watching the playlist again. Love watching your videos Scott! :) Hard to believe it's been almost a year already

[@lesahanners5057]

How's it Scott, sounds like you got some good sleep. At least you sound more chipper this morning. Watching you test the lava was hilarious. Reminds me of when we found our yard full of pahoehoe after the hurricane blew all of our tree's down. You never know where the holes are or what may suddenly give way. Take a care cause I was wearing my flip flops out on ours one day while weeding and stepped into a crack and scraped my heel half off. It took some good 91% alcohol to cleanse it and boy did it sting. It left a nasty scat too, to remind me to not be such an idiot next time and wear proper shoes when out on the pahoehoe. LOL Mahalo

[@JulieBantin]

You do such a wonderful job. Question, where is all of the lava from this fountain going?

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

It's flowing down a lava river on its way to the ocean...we hope

[@JulieBantin]

Thank you. You do such a wonderful job with your videos.

[@thepaperdragon1951]

Still the best!

[@MikeHunt-li9gl]

Thank you for the video.

[@paranormaldolls]

very pretty pink lava so interesting

[@scottscouter1065]

HOW ABOUT seeing if you can cockaroach somebody's bucket truck for a day for a lifted view over the wall of the lava ramparts...that would be cool.

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

Yes, that sure would be!

[@lesahanners5057]

Yesterday I went out and raked oak leaves away from the fence, while watching out for ticks and rattlesnakes. Three things I didn't have to worry about in Hawaii. No ticks, no snakes, and no oak tree's. Plenty of very old lava flows tho. Mahalo

[@Michelle-jf7fy]

Tree mold!

[@MrMurphyParodies]

6:26 That notification tone sounds a lot like mine? Is that HTC?

[@tyrozone5]

Yes it is

[@lindabradley4154]

The news report said everyone is supposed to evacuate ? Hope you will be safe ! God bless

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

The news is wrong.

[@Chef-Really5365]

I feel like we are eves dropping

[@Angel-yl1ck]

Hi! That hole @12:05 seems to have something interesting in it. Looks like...well I don't know. Can you say? Mahalo

[@allthingsharbor]

Nice - tree molds, lava'cicles, heat waves rising off the hard lava...almost like being there.

[@ES4406]

House and shop on the corner is Isaac... been following him on FB

[@danachappell3861]

Hi Scott!! That lava "wall" has to be at least 20 ft tall, before you get to the top.. and very hot lol. Love the new terms: lavacicles... honking big trees, and a Bless You for your sneeze. Stay safe, as we would be lost without your visits and commentaries here. Are the rest of the fissures active, or mainly F8? I think you may want to take a peek at the newest one, if you can. Aloha from Canada.

[@Nita____]

My goodness, was that a loud and pesky fly you had to deal with in the beginning! I really enjoyed this video..so much to see. You are a really good teacher. I was so engrossed in all the stuff you were showing that when your ring tone started playing, made me jump! I watched it twice, especially since I wanted to hear you say "honkin" again. Haven't heard someone say that since I left Ohio.

[@umvhu]

Think about it Scott! There's heat coming out of a tree mould because lower down the lava is still hot. I you fell thru a weak surface you'd probably get burnt by the residual heat of the lava lower down. Consider what risks there could be to your actions. Thanks for your update.

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

I know when there is molten lava under my feet. There was none. Just still very hot.

[@morrisminor56]

Aloha :)

[@9educt]

get a bright LED torch Scott, then you can shine it in the tree moulds, good times

[@wendybanner7888]

Did you say you were walking down Luana from Malama?

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

Probably...I was walking from Kahukai

[@wendybanner7888]

Oh, ok, so coming from the other direction, from Kahukai way. Was trying to tell based on how far away the fissure 8 was.

[@kimberlydkulcsar2671]

She's setting up. It's not going to stop. Wow.

[@wildmustangart1577]

There is a park around there somewhere based on that tree mold situation .... I can't remember what it's called.

[@oceandrew]

Lava Tree State Monument?

[@wildmustangart1577]

oceandrew that sounds right!

[@margaretfowler506]

Lol.... I felt I should whisper back!! I had a laugh. Best you check that text message... Meg 😊

[@beckyshock3099]

ROFL, every time I hear your message chime, I check my phone.... because it sounds just like mine......

[@Chef-Really5365]

Did some one say squirrel

[@robburleson7439]

Omg yes. Gotta love it

[@subiedoo7011]

LMBO!!! Great comments! Gotta Love Scott's personality!

[@carlaott1146]

I can tell the difference between pahoehoe lava and a'a now!!!!!! This is Pahoehoe, right? 😀😀😀

[@subiedoo7011]

Carla Ott , Great observation and Question to Scott from ApauHawaiiTours! I can not say that you are correct or not because I am not an expert, but to help answer your question... "The pahoehoe flow has a comparatively smooth or "ropy" surface. The surface of the a'a flow consists of free chunks of very angular pieces of lava. This difference in form reflects flow dynamics. A'a forms when lava flows rapidly." Source: Lava Types - Pahoehoe and A'a www.geo.cornell.edu/geology/GalapagosWWW/LavaTypes.html I Hope this answers your question and for additional information about the Different Lava Types: Pahoehoe and A'a please click on the link above^^^ Thank you to everyone for your comments and and questions to Scott at ApauHawaiiTours by watching this video!
