Kilauea Eruption and Leilani Lava Flow of Hawai'i 2018

  • Lava erupted on May 3, 2018 in Leilani Estates on the Big Island of Hawaii. Twenty-five fissures opened up wreaking havoc in the small island community of Pahoa. It started by covering almost all of the eastern half of the subdivision. It covered homes and access roads. These roads were the thoroughfares that allowed residents and tourists alike to enjoy the beautiful coastlines of Puna. This event forever changed the way of living that we residents cherished.
    This video is a compilation of aerial footage of the event that lasted 3 1/2 months. I know it was a difficult time for our community, but we are now stronger. Many blessings to you all!

      One day, in a few hundred thousand years these eruptions will be no more. Hawaii is over a hotspot in the earth's mantle. The Pacific crustal plate is moving at a rate of about 9 centimetres per year over it. So one day the Big Island would have moved so far from it that the eruptions would stop. The underwater volcano Lo'ihi would become the new center of a new volcanic island.

    I was one of the lucky ones on Nohea St. And could see the flow from my front porch. To this day it still shakes me, you dont understand the magnitude of this unless you seen it first hand... it looked like literal HELL. Lava rocks falling from the sky, the underground rumble, the heat, the smoke, it was like a living being in itself. My heart goes out to all those peoples lives who have been changed forever. But Pele needed to do what was right for the time.

    I read a book a long time ago , it was based on the true story of the beginning of Hawaii, I have always remembered it. And this filming tells me now the book was as I what I imagined to have happened. The island growing from the volcanos erupting under the seas and oceans. And as the lava cooling down and growing over and over itself ,forming Islands. And watching the televion this afternoon saw a land map of the middle of Australia. Of thousands of years ago before the ice Age, And you look at it close enough you could see the outline of a huge ⭕️ like a volcano.Our world is totally amazing. A big bit scary but STILLAMAZING.

    I recall asking in mid 1970 a proud new Leilani Estates homeowner, "Do you realize that you bought a home on an active rift zone?" Generally, his answer centered on his home would be too old or he would be dead before the lava returned. He would be over a hundred years old if he still alive and his house would be about forty five years old. Basically, I was floored when I realized they had approved a subdivision over the Kilauea rift zone which had erupted twenty years prior. Well, all of the homes built on the slopes of Mauna Loa and the Kilauea Caldera are in lave flow threatened areas, that is about half of the homes on the big island.

    What's incredible and equally terrifying is that this isn't just mere lava flowing down from the top of the mountain. These are fissures opening up within your own backyard and lava coming out of it. This is insane.

    I just got home from a vacation to the Big Island and saw some of this area and even flew my own drone over some of the flows. This is spectacular footage! I remember reading at the time the state banned people from flying drones anywhere near the eruption. I thought that was a damn shame and a huge missed opportunity for drones to capture a historic event like this like nothing else could. Major kudos for flying anyway and somehow getting away with what must have been dozens of flights over several months. Don't know how you did it, though I'm sure being local and being able to fly from your own property helped. Thanks for capturing this incredible footage and all the risk that entailed!

    I was there in 2017 looking to buy a 1 acre lot in Leilani estates walked around...drove around...talked with people who lived there went to the Rec area office talked with the Managers there. A Man and woman they were very nice but were very demanding about the building restrictions in lower Leilani estates...he ran off a list of things they wanted done to the lot I think it was 3,000 square feet of concrete as a base for the home ...double garage...concrete sewer tank installed into and under the old lava...driveway apron to street...list goes on...I understand they wanted it to be nice but I think they forgot where they were.I was telling them that a nice shack or nice trailer that could be hooked up to a pickup and towed out when in danger was a better way to go...he said no way and that he had a Drone he flew over the Estates to check up on people and what they were doing to the lots....I had heard enough and thanked him and drove away..a year later I see what has happened to Leilani Estates and feel sorry for the people I met while walking and driving around there...some had just bought and had spent all kinds of money on Bulldozer work...and other requirements in there....I thank that drone flying manager for the hardline he gave me that day...saved me thousands and thousands of dollars and a big heartache....was such a beautiful area and Ocean access drive that seemed to be from the Garden of Eden.. one day it will be that again...

I was also amazed to learn that you could film the river by sending the drone up from your front yard. The chat was great as y'all told about what it was like for y'all and answered many questions. This was an experience to remember and you captured it so well! Wonderful anniversary compilation!

      Oh, my mind was also blown after watching some of your launches and landings with the drone later on in some of Gabe's videos that you didn't already have a lot of experience with the drone before this ever started. You have really learned how to use it well now but you seem to be instinctively good at it even from the first.

    Excellent and artistic compilation of your video of the 2018 Kilauea Lower East Rift Zone eruption in Leilani Estates and stretching down to Kapoho. You did amazing drone work over those 3 1/2 months to capture all of this, and this is a great edit into coverage of the whole event for the 1-year anniversary. Nice music also. You did not mention in the description here what the source of the music was, but I guess we can look at the previous videos to see the music credits. You kept the same music, I think.
    The scientist in me kept asking what was the date of each video segment. The compilation is all chronological, right? I guess we can guess the approximate time from where things are in this compilation. It is amazing to see how the eruption evolved from the first fissures with small lava flows in early May to the major high-volume flow of Fissure 8 in July.
