Leilani Estates #8 fissure 8:32 AM June 2, 2018 during the Kilauea eruption

[@Havasumom]

Who needs CNN, Fox News, or MSNBC when you have the best coverage of fissures, lava flow, and the wonderful stories on structures and the people effected. Great job Scott and keep up the great work. Take care.

[@girl600podcast]

They use his clips, saw it twice yesterday, I get excited, like I know him. I sit and eat dinner watching and learning. I never had any interest in Hawaii (my Mom watched Hawaii 5-0) or knew of its origins until now. USGS I watch a bit as well but this is where I start.

[@bethelle9099]

From paradise to a war zone! Thanks again Scott for taking us along. I consider myself privileged to have discovered you here on the 'tube' Wish the circumstances were positive for all of you folks though!!! Mahalo-Aloha!

[@tyrozone5]

A hellhole more like

[@hannawaldify]

Thank you so much for all the coverage you are bringing us. Please be safe!!

[@debbieward9732]

First time I can hear exhaustion in your voice. Lots of hugs to you and your doggies. ✌️🦋 Hoping this all ends soon and sun shines again.

[@raygun1966]

I haven't missed a day. Thank you for these interesting reports. Great getting to know you along the way.

[@joyleenpoortier7496]

I can’t thank you enough for your coverage of this eruption. It’s so nice that you are keeping the home owners informed of the outcome of their homes.

[@lyndaperky4687]

This is so nice of you to film this for the residents

[@leanneharris3191]

Your coverage of the fissures is amazing and beautiful, thank you!

[@purgatoryofhope1414]

Thanks for what you do for the people in for updating of those of us who are stateside take care

[@JimSlaughterOC]

Scott, you should get some kind of award for the coverage you re doing. It is really outstanding. Thank you very much.

[@aajiv1748]

Never seen coverage of a natural disaster like this before.

[@dannygorham2726]

I look forward to your update videos more than any of the other coverage of this eruption lol

[@ssavia]

I watch your videos through the day. Thank you so much for continuing to video and provide information. Be safe.

[@martinf6448]

Great Scott. Keep on filming and we will keep on watching, stay safe.

[@Classsslady]

Fantastic looks like another planet

[@tyrozone5]

Perfect for a new Star Wars setting. Or maybe Doctor Who

[@TheLorimpage]

I am so sorry. You seem depressed, which is an entirely natural response. However, I am afraid that part if it is due to the reactions from this group of followers. You are part of this horrific, historic event. Most of us appreciate your honest, humble, and fearless coverage. You are phenomenal to keep on showing your neighbors and friends what they are unable to fathom. Please keep up your vlog (so to speak) to give us neighbors and voyuers something to see and for those of us who are now emotionally attached to you, some hint of how you are! Many blessings!!!

[@patmaher9429]

Good morning from Ireland your vids are just brill thanks keep them coming and do keep safe

[@heatherblack9491]

Oh boy, I'm over 2wks behind.... Gotta get viewing!

[@DizzyTurtle77]

It's mesmerizing to watch when you zoom in.

[@sherrypalmer782]

You are very thoughtful --thank you for watching out for your neighbors.

[@Nita____]

Still hard to watch two years later. I was initially mesmerized by the ferocious lava fountain against the pale blue sky. Then, as you started driving down the road, the magnitude of the devastation hit me. That and your voice. Hopefully, everyone was able to rebuild. You're an awesome human being and great neighbor to do what you did back then. Not many would have done that.

[@juneyshu6197]

You have become the first to go to for info For those of us who care. You are so easygoing and caring it is impossible to not support you and your neighbors at this point. I believe there is a bank accepting donations. Going to search. Blessings to you and all.

[@starbum6524]

You are the best friend to many, pictures amazing, be safe and make it out alive!

[@lesahanners5057]

The roar of that sounds simply deafening. I can't imagine what it must really sound and feel like in person?! You certainly are brave of heart and strong of spirit. Mahalo

[@davethompson6760]

Thanks Scott, stay safe

[@gee1118]

It’s so hard to comprehend the amount of lava that’s still spewing. Stay safe, Scott.

[@alexandreblanc2842]

Thank you for the update

[@cherthebull]

It's so amazing to watch.

[@DeborahLong7777]

Scott, you are a hero to so many . I know your humble. Thank you for what you do. Question. What are your containment tanks for ???

[@stevenputney8790]

They are catchment tanks, for catching rainwater. The whole area is built on volcanic rock and littered with cesspools, nobody has wells. It rains 100-150 in of rain a year, so they catch the rain water for use in the home.

[@swashfrogsailor]

I sure do appreciate your efforts, Scott. USGS and HCCD are doing a wonderful job too, but they’re focused on the big picture rather than street level. The best aerial video I’ve seen was an early illegal drone video that showed the perimeter of the flows. I appreciate that you’re doing much the same with boots on the ground. Kaleo’s or Ning’s on me as soon as I get back on island. 🤙🏼

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

I saw that too and it was amazing!

[@twubbl1]

Swashfrog Sailor do you have a link to that video?

[@being_electric]

Good morning from Oregon!

[@starbum6524]

Joe’s UFO’s Hey Joe, how's the water situation for you guys? Been hoping to ask a local there.

[@being_electric]

Ronna Wainwright the contamination was localized to salem and smaller communities that draw water from Detroit reservoir. I wasn’t affected where i am. They lifted the water advisory today, but there are other communities (forrest grove area) north of here waiting to see if they’re next.

[@bobholland9924]

That's a good thing you do there letting people know if they still got a place or not.

[@subiedoo7011]

Just amazing to hear that ROAR of Madam Pele! Just mind numbing to think she has been unleashing this power over four weeks and still counting! But also sad to see all the devastation she has caused all at the same time. My thoughts and prayers go out to those who have been effected by this historic volcanic event. Mahalo Scott!

[@2SuccessNow]

Its a sad drive for some viewing this and a relief for others to see their homes still there.🌴🌴 It's hard to share info when seeing the home of someone you know get claimed by the lava. What you're doing is greatly appreciated as you can or will see in your comments lol Biggest of hugs

[@swansquarter]

Best coverage anywhere, Scott. Many, many thanks. People are depending on you. Stay safe. Has the lava on Luana reached all the way to Kahukai?..my brother's house.

[@Blaauw220]

Look at this map www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1ZWnrwPSqtoOpdjj5QKaBZPQACQOzv5YD&hl=en&ll=19.474835441451773%2C-154.9067657569763&z=16 All the red dots are houses that are gone. If you click on the red dot it gives the address on the left of the page

[@ForrestMillerMusic]

You're gonna do this forever right? :) What you do is indescribably important

[@ForrestMillerMusic]

Love Baby hopefully his positive outlook keeps him safe

[@ForrestMillerMusic]

Totally Unacceptable that's very good to hear! I would be helping him if I could, I'm so appreciative of his work

[@shaungur]

He's a smart guy, he get's as close as possible safely and has quite a bit of experience now, unfortunately....

[@leveraction6917]

Scott, if I go to search on youtube for Apau Hawaii Tours, I get twenty links to the sirens leach and a dozen others before you get any credit. It is terrible piracy out there !! Really appreciate what you have done so faithfully and matter-of-factly .

[@CLMcIntyre]

Dinn Cosart, Scott has given them permission to show his videos. They also credit him, which is why they come up when doing your search. 😉

[@leveraction6917]

good to know; Scott was complaining about that situation not long ago.

[@jtalbot34]

Bunny McIntyre no only Sirens has Scott’s permission none of the others have it!

[@CLMcIntyre]

Jennifer Talbot, yes. Maybe I didn't read your commemt thoroughly enough. I apologize! 🙂

[@alancoker1459]

Good afternoon from Missouri

[@poutygorilla2698]

Amazing how some homes are spared.

[@funforjenny4446]

Thanks Scott for the amazing video!!!

[@Rolingmetal]

Finally a channel with original content that doesn't talk like Steven Hawking and isn't preaching the end of the world while wearing a tin foil hat. Thank you sir.

[@shaungur]

I timed how long the fountain in the video takes to go from peak height to the ground. 4 - 4 1/2 seconds, which is about 250 ft - 325 ft. Much bigger than the fountain at Rusty the Rooster's house. Insane. When Scott first started we were all hyped to see some action, now we are begging Pele to 'please make it stoooop!!'.

[@Sunshine-xv8gg]

Thanks for your coverage. Sharing at The Earth Master.

[@mindywiley1935]

Wow,so amazing but deadly. Thank you Scott

[@MW-gs8wz]

Thanks be safe

[@beecy3893]

Safety first...very ironic considering your surroundings.. 😉🍀

[@DebiSunset]

What was happening "up there" as you were getting in the car?

[@crazyeddy808]

I enjoy your video, thank you, hope this ends soon!

[@J.Cameron.Stuart.Adams.]

Good boy!

[@bethelle9099]

A mountain is forming!!!

[@josephastier7421]

A good volcano will do that.

[@bethelle9099]

Joseph Astier , There should be plenty topic graphical, before and afters of all of this! Amazing!!! Again, sad for the residents!

[@sunfield34]

It's all so interesting.👍

[@josephastier7421]

Bethe Elle you are watching Hawaiian geologic history being made. The USGS will most certainly publish studies on this eruption when it's all over, and other scientists will write papers as well.

[@bethelle9099]

Joseph Astier , So true. Do you think hat the USGS will find something 'significant'? Or just what already appears to be so?

[@stet1965]

Go on Googlemaps to the street-level view at Nohea Street and Leilani Avenue. If you move a little north of that intersection you'll see the Speed Limit 25 sign that this video shows at about 3:08. Pan around to see what this area use to look like and it really puts in perspective how the landscape has changed in a short time.

[@naominaera8685]

Mother nature really changing the whole landscape. Its really sad for all those that have lost their homes

[@ronhatcher7734]

Thanks Scott

[@thomthorne7306]

I'm watching your videos here in the backwoods of Alabama.

[@lookinq4truth389]

Wow...all the trees close to the lava are dead. As you drove away the area looked green and lush again. Such a drastic change. 😕

[@JenEssitBroughman]

OH OH! That realtor sign at 3:01, is that property still for sale? It appears to be a river-front property - lava river that is.

[@alancoker1459]

Sounds like subway cars never stoppping

[@Chris-tc6kt]

Amazing videos! Can anyone tell me if aloha farms at 13781 malama st has survived?

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

volcanoes.usgs.gov/observatories/hvo/maps_uploads/image-462.jpg

[@Chris-tc6kt]

🙏🏻It looks like it’s been spared, I think it’s 4 or 5 property’s from malama st dead end on the south side of the street

[@Chris-tc6kt]

I spent a couple of months in the area in 2015. I had possibly the best 10 silent days of my life at the vipassana center on pohoiki rd, unfortunately it has been reclaimed by the raw power of madame pele, also spent a few days at the hale hale hostel on hookupu st which has also been reclaimed.

[@Chris-tc6kt]

Did bill's house make it?

[@jtalbot34]

Chris no

[@rickyhildebrand114]

Are the "Catchment Tanks" water used for washing and bathing ?

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

everything

[@marsoups]

Thanks for the update Scott, my trusted news source! I was thinking that, what you are witnessing here is so incredibly amazing, history in the making if you will. It would be nice, with the public interest of such events, to allow operators to do tours to witness this event. It is difficult for most of us in the world to get the opportunity to see red hot lava, the likes of which you all see every day there. Why keep interested people away, if tourism can be done in such a way as to not endanger people’s lives, yet keep a segment of the economy going to help rebuild this community one day? An unrelated question: Fissure 8 still going strong I see... is it possible that, if this keeps continuing the whole year that this might begin to form a new volcanic peek.i guess that wouldn’t be a good thing for the residents though, if that happened.

[@marsoups]

Im also interested if there are any KZbin videos of fissure 8 in its baby stages...like the first time it came to life...

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gn7RoICZjZqdadU

[@carlalorch8650]

Fissure 8 has a plumbing problem; it reminds me of the time my toilet blew up. I was out of town and that thing ran for days and flooded the whole house. At least it wasn't lava, but what it was wasn't as fascinating.

[@carolstefan7662]

Carla Lorch LOL!!!! I’m sure it wasn’t funny then but your write up just made me burst out laughing!!! 🤣

[@girl600podcast]

Was it toilet water 🚽 💦 or worse ?

[@allynhansen7398]

Just heard from USGS that it is lower today by some metres,..... Alpal

[@winnieg100]

The TV stations and geo services should pay you to do what you do. They should give you a better camera.

[@jokerzwild106]

The fountain looks bigger today.

[@winnieg100]

What are catchment tanks used for?

[@aveaguilarlipke3444]

Greetings from San Diego!.

[@diegogal8462]

meli sol Manipulated. Mostly drought due to Chem Trails. In San Diego it’s time for May Gray and June Gloom where we have overcast in morning giving way to sunny days in afternoon with cool breeze. No C.T’s last 3 days, Elite are having mercy on us 😊

[@aveaguilarlipke3444]

meli sol .. it's 72° very nice and sunny. Just perfect!.😊

[@dreamwander9724]

Scott, are you feeling any earthquakes? All the other pages are saying how there's so many of them but would like to know from you first hand. Thanks as always!

[@coachcraft]

When is fissure #8 going to become a named volcano?

[@tyrozone5]

Volcanologists and scientists have no idea what to call it, but I suggest that it will be name *Mount Ewalu Keu*

[@jofish420]

AS amazing as it is...the whole landscape has changed. :(

[@bobhidley9037]

Scott, do your tires suffer from the ash debris?

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

no

[@Gypsytt]

May the stars carry your sadness away, May the flowers fill your heart with beauty, May hope forever wipe away your tears, And, above all, may silence make you strong. Chief Dan George

[@b-a4798]

Sometimes while videoing you say Oh man or Oh No or just Man and we wonder what you saw or what might have happened to you ! Anywhere you could go that's a little higher to see the river ?

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

believe me...I would love to but the old lava is still way too hot

[@b-a4798]

ApauHawaiiTours No no no , I didn't mean to stand on it !! I meant , I don't know what the landscape it there . Is there a hill some where you can see it or some kind of higher vantage point ???

[@allynhansen7398]

Fountain is lower today? Alpal

[@BonnaKelley]

8 does not seem as high today, or is the wall and cone getting higher?

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

It comes and goes. I can hear it change from my house.

[@tyrozone5]

ApauHawaiiTours wow

[@sumdumgirl2969]

When i was stationed on Oahu, i can remember the smell of pakalolo very prominent after a good rain. Is it the same there? Has the odor changed for you? Does it smell dif the closer you get? ..Thank You! Be Safe!

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

I only notice it when it's hot.

[@camohunter1983]

Don't forget the lava kiss if the lava is cool , don't want u to melt your phone

[@gauboamazonasdealmeidaamaz6341]

Legend????

[@beebeelicious]

Do you get more thunder storms near an erupting volcano anybody?

[@alysfreeman11]

I have read and seen images that the crater/caldera is shifting/collapsing? Is it getting ready to blow?

[@heidikinnunen7471]

alys Freeman nobody know yet.

[@alysfreeman11]

or not saying?

[@heidikinnunen7471]

alys Freeman it might be that too, but I believe we'll know soon enough.

[@josephastier7421]

A landslide filled in part of the Kilauea vent. If the magma decides to go that way again, it will be trivial to get through that debris.

[@grimtide100]

thought you could not go there anymore

[@IllumTheMessage]

GRIMTIDE He's a ninja. They can't stop him.

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

I needed that

[@tammiea8552]

Number 8 is the only active fissure correct?

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

[@tammiea8552]

ApauHawaiiTours thank you so much Scott! !

[@girl600podcast]

Sirens has the house video up that u took down

[@lauragibson3791]

"sirens' steals videos from original posters

[@jacd751]

Sirens IS allowed to repost Scott's videos.

[@heidikinnunen7471]

g1rl6oo at the Bill's house?

[@girl600podcast]

Heidi Kinnunen yes

[@girl600podcast]

Janet Dickenson Yes. He is allowed but what if it’s vid Scott no longer wants up and has deleted. I got the notification from Scott but then saw it was gone so I went to Sirens and watched it. I unsubbed from Sirens and tried to tell commenters to leave their compliments here. YT loves Sirens. He does put a link in the description, he also makes 💵 with ads so... Is that cool?

[@davidzins2495]

The first couple of times I watched the fissures fountain, it looked like it was in slow motion. But, it's an optical illusion because of how massive they really are. Unfortunately, there's nothing around to put it in perspective.

[@heidikinnunen7471]

David Zins I saw somewhere a video where a man was standing and fissure spitting behind. He couldn't be very close it, but still fissure was a giant. It was like a monster.

[@gregpovy]

Didn't expect you to film this after the mayor's order to skedaddle.

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

Yeah...whatever. :)

[@josephastier7421]

Shwing!!

[@sharons2664]

Larry N Isn't it Scadoodlelooo in Hawiann?

[@girl600podcast]

⛽️ Gas stations still getting gas?

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

yes, nothing has changed as far as supplies

[@girl600podcast]

Ok Great. Enjoying u daily from not to far from the White House.

[@navpreetlittleworld]

Why it's not stopping ? More than a month 🙏🙏. Mother earth ! Is this the only fissure active right now ?

[@drwangch]

Yes, fissure 8 is really pumping out, might not stop and be like Kilauea, on going from 1983

[@jacd751]

Because the lava is most likely coming from Earth's mantle. The lava temp is basically as hot as it gets.

[@jacd751]

I believe there are 2 other active fissures aside from Big Daddy #8

[@drwangch]

yes you right there is others active fissures, but not as awesome as 8

[@محمداحمد-ع8ث5خ]

why not use a photography with "Drone"?!

[@jazzcatt]

Probably feeding the river? It IS what's feeding the river.

[@timhalbach9105]

The other fissure to the left is #7 - the USGS said this morning that it’s showing increased intense outgassing so that would explain what we’re seeing here.

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

Mahalo

[@tinaclark6209]

What do you hear re PGV and 4 corners?

[@heidikinnunen7471]

@truthseekers have you heard anything about this?

[@ktilqrpk3481]

Green lake got hit, and it’s just crossed 132 south of four corners.

[@sharons2664]

They have been hush hush about the PGV plant for the last few days. They I mean Civil Defence messages and USGS.

[@dsatt57]

I posted this on Twitter so people can find out if their homes are ok

[@CedarHollowJRT]

LOL Property for Sale sign!

[@franklotion8]

The volcanic earthquakes have been getting stronger over the last few days..hence stronger eruptions...be aware scooter.

[@bethelle9099]

Those power lines look so out of place on e lava.........

[@girl600podcast]

Beth Elle I’m scared of power lines on the ground - no matter what

[@bethelle9099]

g1rl6oo , Yes. Another possibly deadly force. At least the power co. Has been cutting power where necessary. Rough time for Scott and his neighbors now...... Scott has made many new friends though, thanks to the internet!

[@timhalbach9105]

I think it’s interesting how in some places the power lines are on top of the lava, and in others it’s underneath it.

[@bethelle9099]

Tim Halbach , I guess those that are exposed haven't had new flows go over it yet. But that lava has moved a lot in the last few days!

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

Show off, Tim

[@sunfield34]

#8 is Angry !

[@tyrozone5]

It’s not happy about something. Probably Trump lol

[@vspinkboi]

Didn't get a notification. KZbin is freaking up

[@girl600podcast]

Tony D KZbin pushes Sirens Channel with the repost of these vids. I unsubbed but he’s always on my home page

[@vspinkboi]

g1rl6oo yeah same

[@DawnDawson]

Sirens as long as using the videos is so monetized will always be first in search on yt and everywhere. Just not a good idea from a marketing social media perspective. Plus no way to manage the comments being many don't really know who's station it is they just hear Scott talking and think they are commenting to him.

[@DashcamRiprock]

Hover over the video with your mouse, and three dots will appear on the right side. Click "not interested" and it''ll ask you why. One of the choices is, "I'm not interested in (whatever channel)." Choose that, and that should stop that guy's videos from being suggested.

[@------Blind-Bat-------]

Fissure 8 looking smaller everyday Soon it will end

[@josephastier7421]

Hawaiian eruptions come and go in cycles. It's normal for these eruptions to stop entirely and then start again a few days later. The fact that it has NOT yet done that is a bit ominous. Fissure 8 has good connections in the underworld.

[@Jan96106]

Very arbitrary destruction. One house stands. The house next to it destroyed.

[@hactavista_777_anonymous8]

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO ALL THE FAMILIES THAT HAS LOST THEIR HOMES? DO THEY HAVE AN INSURANCE? WHERE WILL THEY LIVE UNTIL THEIR HOMES HAS BEEN RE-ESTABLISHED?

[@happykittenmeow]

Some are staying with relatives and friends. Others are in shelters. Last I heard the number of people in shelters was pretty small, so the assumption is that most are staying with friends and family. I think the numbers I heard were before #8 went crazy, so that may have changed.
