Kilauea Eruption Update for Friday, September 20

[@tthappyrock368]

Great close ups! Thank you for the update! I hope there will be a break in the vog!

[@kplante7881]

Thanks for sharing…!

[@ChuckD59]

Great video, there. Thanks.

[@mariarohmer2374]

Awesome close-up.

[@BigIslandBuddy]

Excellent news. Maybe we will get a break from the bad VOG

[@punapeter]

Where you? Volcano or Kona side?

[@WartyFlute]

Maybe live somewhere without volcanoes?

[@punapeter]

@@WartyFlute Why they scare you? Good keep you away. LOL Safer than Hurricane Alley, Mississippi fly-over floodplain that covers many states, or a pine oil/needle forest fire forest. (Note; the lava didn't start a forest fire). How many people get killed by lava again?

[@lloydbellis7360]

Awesome 🙌

[@jeonggogue3914]

Always facinating

[@gersonhay984]

HPP thanks you.

[@punapeter]

why? It's not coming this way, ever. Like getting the roads paved. "Won't happen in your life time." GM HPPOA 2003

[@LindaChapman-u2c]

Good to know. Thx.👍

[@SongMom8]

These videos remind me a lot of the 2018 eruption.

[@kahealanikealakai555]

😮😮Exciting

[@ThomaskellySr.]

Praying for everyone who could be affected by this situation. Amen 🙏

[@Rammstein45]

lol, it's literally erupting in the middle of nowhere.

[@punapeter]

@J.DCU12 you live in ZONE 1-2? CHOICE

[@stonew1927]

@J.DCU12 You have nothing to worry about. This flow is on the wrong side of Pu'u'o'o for it to flow down Kalapana way.

[@punapeter]

@J.DCU12 Wow prices have gone up eh? One FULL acre in the middle of HPP was only $9500. I few years after I moved in. I passed on any waterside crack shacks. I have a 36 kine hardwood jewerly box for a house. Stained glass and parquet floors. A house on the water by the cliffs, it the same old boring horizonline. Water sky. I prefer jungle koi ponds orchid on three acres a mile and a hald from the ocean. For when the Cascadia Event Tsunami rolls up to 10th again. Lotta people bought in Zone 1-2 cuz it's "cheap" good if you need to run away. But not gonna live like a refugee. LOL Haul water twice a month? WHY? no roof, no gutters? Waste of gas to get co. treated water. Rain mo betta. Delivered

[@punapeter]

@J.DCU12 That was ZONE 1. I'm in Zone 3 NO worries.

[@dougp2534]

Dumb question, is getting near the top where it will overflow the crater soon?

[@WartyFlute]

Its what volcanoes do

[@ChristLedwithLeyah]

Is the Volcano national park closed then?

[@Landnsea651]

I imagine all this heat is as old as our planet and the energy that created this heat is as old as the universe? Wow!

[@WartyFlute]

Fake news

[@enix777]

Anyone else feel nauseous and achy when the Volcano is going off?

[@annaleeuglyduckling1825]

Sooo cool never new lava looked like that. Looks like as of jugular arteries been cut open if people were lined up and in one swipe sliced em

[@whoeveriam0iam14222]

why does all this hot lava not cause forest fires when it pops up in heavily forested areas? does the regular rain make that much of a difference

[@jmalexander131]

It does cause fires, eventually. The heat underground also boils the root systems, so trees in the area that do not burn will still whither and die. You'd be surprised how quickly plants and grasses spread back onto the lava once the eruption subsides.

[@punapeter]

Makes it's own weather this island. But yea on the WET side of the island isn't like Lahaina on the DRY side of Maui. We got Waikoloa, burns every year on our DRY side. You live in Volcano Village or Fern Forest, anywhere above 1000' and it's WET, MOLDY. Ferns are mold, BIG clue.

[@christiestewart5321]

Rating for everyone there

[@richardwarfordjr.5622]

Incredible I would like to see it from a safe distance

[@blackdog2994]

How long does it take for the new lava to be covered by the trees again. Years, decades or centuries?

[@ShawnoAnDerDonau]

Plants can start growing on cooled lava flows within a decade. Trees though, not sure, probably many decades.

[@punapeter]

@@ShawnoAnDerDonau immediately, if you drop a sprouted coconut on da lava

[@punapeter]

Shoots, was hoping it went all the way down to the ocean. Been what now 6 years no ocean flow? STILL haven't repaved Pohoiki Rd. Puna lavaland stay broken.

[@susiekramer3175]

I would love to see this and poke the lava,,,it looks fascinating

[@I_SuperHiro_I]

I didn’t see anything up north

[@goodwaterhikes]

😎✌

[@calebhorton4701]

Dang, I hate inflation

[@lhs761]

😂

[@peterfong2241]

Where in the world is this place ??. Watching from Jamaica west Indies !!.

[@kennethloki7011]

Hawaii

[@HiloBoiz808]

Middle of the Pacific Ocean.

[@jmalexander131]

The Big Island of Hawaii. It is the most southeastern of the 5 major islands and by far the largest. There are 2 active volcanoes on the island, Kiluea and Mauna Loa.

[@punapeter]

@@jmalexander131 Mauna Loa. Sleepy 'active'. lol
