Venuszenith and 100% besides the point. Totally different situation. Go watch those videos. Ppls loss is ppls loss regardless of details. Don't be an ass
IT'S NOT 'MOTHER NATURE' IT'S FATHER GOD WHO IS CONTROL OF ALL THINGS THAT 'HE' CREATED, NOT PELE THE DEMON GODDESS...LESSONS TO BE LEARNT HERE>GOD DEMANDS OUR WORSHIP, HE WILL NOT SHARE HIS GLORY WITH ANOTHER...;)
Layna8 lol you should write comedy. If it's red and coming from down below it's probably satan. I'll stick with Mother Nature. She's real, not a myth. Everyone has to have something to believe in
Layna8 Amen...Its only the Mighty Hand of a Living God that controll all things..even the blind people Jesus die for them..nd there is no other God above Jesus..no other name on this earth that saved a human soul its only the name of Jesus..all things that form from the Hand of God Almighty, people are blind they are a slavery of the devil nd darkness..but those are in Jesus lives are a sons nd daughter of the Living God..His name is Jesus..
Chris, I agree. This is one of the most gentle disasters I've ever seen. I know it wouldn't seem that way if I was there, but just knowing that no one has died is a relief.
In 1955, Lava flowed over a large area just a couple hundred feet south of this bay. In 1960, Lava flowed over a huge area just a couple hundred feet north of this bay, actually *forming* this bay in the process. The very ground under that region was a slab of older lava, covered in a bit of soil. Now in 2018, lava has filled the gap between the previous flows and.....the residents are shocked at it happening! Yes, it is a tragic loss, but if you build a house on a riverbed, expect to get flooded. If you build a house on an old lava flow, between other more recent lava flows, expect to get lava'd.
So unnecessary of you to share your words of wisdom to those who lost their homes. Not very compassionate. Sometimes there are things better left unsaid.
Houses are things, these were very nice things. But the land is still there, and there is more of it. When this subsides, homes can be rebuilt, and new homes on new land. Who said they aren't makinf any new dirt?
George Rae it’s probably like soldiers back from war having to listen to people complain about their second home being destroyed. Everyone reacts differently and has a right to feel as they do. So many disasters. A loving Father is taking away the ‘stuff’ that ties us to the system before it costs us our soul. Sure, very sad. But done. No need for judgement calls on peoples feelings. Accept and go on.selah
Hard to feel any sympathy - many were vacation rentals owned by wealthy landowners - and it is an active volcano zone. Shouldn't have been allowed to build in the first place.
I say, they are lucky, they are alive to talk about, there is some place's that there was a volcano and it took lives. It's a lost sure, but be thankful for your alive, some folks wasn't so lucky in other parts of the world.
I was displaced from my home by a fire in the downstairs unit a while back. I got out with my cat just in time before the flames were over my front door. My neighbor was not so lucky and lost her two dogs. The fire sucked, and living with friends for a while was no fun. But I and my cat were alive, I still had a job, my car, and savings, and in my case insurance. Even without insurance, I would have been ok though, just things would have been a little tighter. The point being, I was never that upset. I was so thankful that I still had my little buddy l, and that I wasnt hurt, that everything else was just noise. Maybe because they didn't have to escape the lava, they just don't have that perspective seared in, but it is the truth. Life will go on. And life will return to the lava flows, and there will be new stories to be written.
Will Pack People still lost their homes. Does it matter where they live? This ought to serve as a sobering reminder that no matter how well off you are, life can still throw a curve ball at you and leave you with nothing.
Will Pack Excuse me? So someone being rendered homeless isn't a tragedy in your mind? Loss of life may be a greater tragedy than loss of a home where a life happened, but that doesn't mean the latter isn't also a tragedy. If I applied your logic to the Tuscaloosa EF4 tornado of 2011, I would say, "Oh, that twister wasn't a tragedy at all, and all those people who watched people die should just get over it. Because Joplin had an EF5 that killed more people, and their bigger tragedy invalidates the one in Alabama."
It will be “Paradise” again in 100 years. And a new generation of people will again inhabit the area ... for awhile, at least. Then Mother Nature will again reclaim it.
Is there any way you can show more than 2 seconds of footage that actually pertains to the title? I know hearing yourselves on the tv gets addicting, and listening to people repeatedly describe the fact that liquids flow down hill is a dream past time, but maybe you could get just a little bit more footage out for each flight of that expensive helicopter.
Yes its terrible...All that property damage...All those insurance claims. You know what's worse? All the lives lost due to the Fuego volcano in Guatemala.
Better to have a rich person fence off an area than to have tens of thousands of people trampling it yearly and ruining it. Hopefully, nobody will want to build there again and it will be a wildlife sanctuary. Pele is protecting in her own way. Grizzly Bears and wolves help keep tens of thousands of fools from ruining the back country of Yellowstone, for example. There is a very wealthy person in my friend's neighborhood in the foothills of Colorado who bought 8 plots and built one large house. Instead of having 8 houses with 8 driveways, 8 sprinkler systems, 8 or more dogs, etc, the land is basically untouched and serves as a private reserves for eagles and other wildlife. I think that worked out great.
Residents have lost homes, but not one life has been lost. How many lives are lost daily from war and mother Earth: Ask a survivor if they would rather have saved their home or their loved one.
This is what happens when individuals take Hawaii's paradise and try to claim it for themselves. Pele is just reclaiming what is rightfully hers and will make it into a newer, bigger, and better paradise.
So we are still talking superstitions lol Pele? Oh boy better throw salt over the shoulder.... strange it didn't do anything. Thats cute you Named All volcanos on Hawaii the same....smh.
I think its building to something much Bigger, not only is lava pouring out but the Earth is continuously pushing up, Cracks are opening all over the place, Lets hope the Lava Flow is releasing the Pressure, if I was there I would be getting as far away from that volcano as possible.
All the Richey rich need to rebuild now , what do you expect living on a volcano 🤔 any body that lives in Cali or any natural disaster area can die or lose everything in a heartbeat , so don't cry when it happens .
As a retired professional land surveyor (MD & PA) I can’t help but wonder what the property rights/land ownership implications are for these poor folks.
The morons who support this pele nonsense seem to be the ones most concerned with their loss of 'things' - they couldn't give a rats ass about people dying somewhere else in a similar but far worse disaster.
I'm sure it was so beautiful but I can't imagine, there are many beautiful places around to seek I'm yet to find in 57 yrs but got to say brigitine beach nj was my paradise memory then started charging so Atlantic city became my kids paradise. Mama earth is expanding she warns us be greatful n aware for the time we had/have. Blessings to us all!
Guatemalan volcano have more of 2 millions people's with no homes and much death's and that's real they are poors..but this lady here ritch before that..she say no more swimming or anything's..God Lord Jesus
Funny how they say this beauty was a loss for everyone. Nope, only the wealthy had access. Just try to step nearby and find your life threatened, even if done by accident you got too close to someone's land. For my people, Native Americans, no one owns the land. I got lucky, was mistaken for a Hawaiian.
Elaine Marie I feel for the people who had only one home and now it’s gone. I don’t feel for the mega rich who lost one of many homes. Sounds bad, sorry but most super rich people got there by the hard work of others.
Those woman also said "This magical kingdom, just gone" or something like that. Maybe it is for the good of all that it is gone. Who knows what happened there in the past. Shiny fassade is not allways what it seems to be.
I don't feel sorry for the rich who have second homes in places like Hawaii, when so many of the countries homeless are still hoping to have the privilege of a first home!
Heart breaks for everyone that has lost their home. While I welcome learning about this latest event, it doesn't offset my despair for you. Thankfully there wasn't loss of life. Prayers for you.
There is always a price! You live in a Paradise, BUT it is on top of a huge volcano that is 98% covered by water! Not only that but it is an active volcano, I hope you are intelligent enough to know, you gambled and lost! But you are alive and you still live in Paradise so be thankful! 🍺😎👍
What part of living on or below an active volcano is it that people can't understand. I'd hang some city fathers and real estate people If I was talked into building a house on a volcano lava flow path. 100 years, 1,000 or 10.000 years is not even a blink of an eye in a volcano's timeline. Even after saying that, and so to keep Kamer away, I am truly sorry yall lost your homes.
Praying for the people worldwide that are going through these types of disasters. This was the kind of video that I like to see - no matter what we're going through, we'll get through it together. May God bless you all.
People dont see it now, but once this stops, its going to be soo green and they’ll just rebuild and have a way bigger area of land. Sorry for those who lost everything though..
Everyone is so upset at these losses. None think about the fact this volcano created the natural beauty these people enjoyed so much, all it’s doing is creating new naturally beautiful areas to enjoy.
I can not feel overly bad about a hand full of wealthy folks loosing paradise ... it will make a nice memory ... one the vast majority never entertain ...
You realize some of the lava ravaged areas were from lower-class people who worked hard in minimum wage paying jobs, right? This is due to the very poor economy of this district (Puna). Source: Grew up here in lava-ravaged area, have been trying to make enough money to move off the island, there's no jobs here at all. Been getting plenty of shit from people making assumptions about Hawaii, assuming everyone "chose" to be there. Listen up, people, I'm glad you have a CHOICE on where you live, but in the real world, many of us aren't as lucky as you.
Its a pity these people lost their fishing harbour, can there be built another one on the safe side of the island ??? Say like in PNG they left Rabaul and went to Kokopo. They built a new harbour too.
There must be a few real estate sellers hiding under their beds at the moment...and the companies that fracked for gas in the area...surely their activities didn't help the situation.
Is it a coincidence that Kilauea started erupting in 1983 and hasn't stopped since? "Constructed on a site adjacent to failed experimental wells drilled and operated by the Hawaii Geothermal Project in the 1970s and 80s, construction on the generating facility began in 1989 and was completed in 1993."
Mayor Kim has been insprational. But, can you do more interviews with the common Hawaiian? One young man in a shelter spoke about how it was brining him closer to the ancestors and connecting him even more closely with his heritage-- because this was there experience for centuries. These are stories that all of America needs to hear.
My family and myself had the good fortune to visit Hawaii from NZ - We absolutely loved Kapoho Bay when we stayed their - just a few days before the flows started on Leilani Estates - yes many were holiday homes - but we very friendly locals just strolling around and when we walked to the tide pools. Yes these were expensive homes - but I felt that the place we stayed in was built with love & care - and figured it was going to be the owners retirement home . We had wished we had more time to stay - it was muy tranquilo - the tide pools , the hot pools & black sand beaches up road through and absolutely fantastic drive through a canopy of trees . Yes go Waikiki & Maui ( great for families ) - but Big Island & Kauai do have a lot to offer - Kia Ora , Kia Kaha & Aroha from Aotearoa
I'm sorry folks when you CHOOSE KNOWINGLY to buy and build in Zone 1 of the most active Volcano on earth you are assuming a Known RISK. To be surprised, and shocked and saddened over the fact that the most active Volcano on earth has consumed the land in the highest risk area is like being shocked and saddened that poking a Grizzly Bear will not go well for you. Every one of these people chose of their own free will to take a very high risk. For many years they got away with it. Now they act shocked and upset that their risk in the face of a Known Hazard has resulted in disaster. This is illogical in the extreme. Believe me people when I tell you very few feel sorry for you. Most are incredulous at your shock with the result of your ridiculous gamble. Reality can be a bitch. Welcome to the reality of your gamble. No offense intended. It's just the plain truth and reality of the situation.
I totally agree. Volcano has been erupting since what, 1983. I feel bad that people could make this poor a decision to try to live in its reach but that's where my sympathy ends. Shoulda thought of consequences, not that hard to figure out
Have a little compassion. There is no reason for this kind of comment. What does it accomplish? Even if people were aware of the risk and accepted it, it doesn't make this time any easier for them. And you are just adding to their hurt.
I'm glad you have a choice on where you live. How about people who live in common wildfire zones? (California/Colorado/New Mexico) How about people who live on flood plains or in tornado zones? (most of the US, actually) Tropical areas with common hurricanes? (Caribbean, particularly Puerto Rico) You're not safe from nature anywhere. Stop pretending like everyone in Hawaii had a choice on where they lived, especially considering a lot of people from this area are extremely poor. Again, absolute ignorance in UA-cam comments, what a surprise.
Praying for residents and visitors. Hope everyone and all of their pets are safe. God bless those who are now homeless. Wow, Howard Dashefsky really held it together. I know his heart was breaking too.
On every single video about the lava flow there are people saying, "yeah well, you were stupid to live there in the first place". I don't live there (I live in South Africa) but I'm sure that it is often worth the risk living in paradise, especially if you are retired and want to spend the rest of your days in peace and quiet or better yet, if you were born there. These people knew the risk involved, you don't have to tell them that. Unfortunately, even if disaster strikes one day, you are still struck with horror and a sense of loss. Because not only is your home gone, but the fantastic nature and beaches too and it will take multiple decades for things to return to normal. My point is, yes, there is risk living there and sometimes you pay dearly for that risk, but you have to wonder why people comment at all when the only things you can do is point fingers and say negative things to the people effected. Why rather not say anything at all?
Yes and no, it largely depends where you live. If you live on a farm it is extremely dangerous, there are 4 farm attacks per week on average and around one person to a whole family is killed per week on white owned farms (unfortunately with lots of torture and brutality). Furthermore, South Africa is basically like Brazil, lots of violent crime and corruption so everyone is effected by it. The white families on farms are unfortunately killed due to political motivations and not just crime. There is also social and political movement towards Communism by the black majority, especially in politics and unfortunately it is starting to make everyone else feel marginalised including Cape coloureds (KhoiSan and Malaysian mixed race), Indians and of course whites. In terms of safety at present, there are both very safe and clean areas and very dangerous areas in South Africa. If you are lucky enough to live in rich gated communities there is very little chance of being effected by crime.
@John Jelks who said: "Panick, you deserve to be a frighty whitey. You stole their land, and the natives now have the upper hand. Sleep with one eye open..." Thank you John Jelks, I appreciate your comment. I have pasted it above for the rest of the world to marvel at its breathtaking ignorance.

Sorry for the people who lost their homes to mother nature , I am with you in these difficult times which Mother Nature have decided to reclaim its ground
jeeesus, talk about melodramatic. When it's all cooled off you can reshape the area again. It's how nature made your pools to begin with. Saying you can't go swimming there again is ridiculous. Nature gives and takes it away, that's the cycle.
I stayed with a friend on the Big Island in 2006, just five miles from where all this is happening. Its terrible, its a massive loss for so many.....yet, all these people chose to live on a live, ever growing volcano because they knew the rewards of living in the most beautiful place on earth outweighed the risks. Its a part of life on the island, knowing that Mauna Loa and Kilauea call the shots, period. Its sad, and there are spots I'd like to see again someday, that I really, really hope aren't buried by the lava. And yet, this flow will stop one day, the lava will turn to stone, and plants will sprout from the cracks. And there will be new pools, and new beaches, and new houses...in time....
Those of us who live on Moku O Keawe know the dangers and we accept those dangers just like people who live in the Oklahoma Panhandle, Florida Coastline, Texas Coastline and other places affected by nature's ever changing presence. No one here is asking why me, when you suffer a loss you grieve and that is natural. We don't want or need your pity but instead some empathy and support. Many of us do not see this as mass destruction but instead the ongoing growth of an island. The only things that are being destroyed are man made. Everything else is the natural cycle of life and death.
The Guatemala volcano 200 missing and 75 dead much worse than this one.
Venuszenith yes that's true provably 2 millions humans losses everything...and they where poors but this lady is complaining but not more swimming..
Guata who? This is Hawaii...
steven hughes wherd Guatemala? you just know America and Hawai'i 😁
Venuszenith rich white people only care about...rich white people.
Venuszenith and 100% besides the point. Totally different situation. Go watch those videos. Ppls loss is ppls loss regardless of details. Don't be an ass
Never been to Hawaii. But the place that was destroyed looked so beautiful. I'm sorry you lost your home. Sorry. 💝
What's so dramatic about her comment? She's sorry people lost their homes.@@euphoricmonk
Mother Nature gives humans a lesson on who runs the show. Best thing is nobody has died
IT'S NOT 'MOTHER NATURE' IT'S FATHER GOD WHO IS CONTROL OF ALL THINGS THAT 'HE' CREATED, NOT PELE THE DEMON GODDESS...LESSONS TO BE LEARNT HERE>GOD DEMANDS OUR WORSHIP, HE WILL NOT SHARE HIS GLORY WITH ANOTHER...;)
Layna8 lol you should write comedy. If it's red and coming from down below it's probably satan. I'll stick with Mother Nature. She's real, not a myth. Everyone has to have something to believe in
Layna8 Amen...Its only the Mighty Hand of a Living God that controll all things..even the blind people Jesus die for them..nd there is no other God above Jesus..no other name on this earth that saved a human soul its only the name of Jesus..all things that form from the Hand of God Almighty, people are blind they are a slavery of the devil nd darkness..but those are in Jesus lives are a sons nd daughter of the Living God..His name is Jesus..
Demon goddess? Take your religious bullshit somewhere else
Chris, I agree. This is one of the most gentle disasters I've ever seen. I know it wouldn't seem that way if I was there, but just knowing that no one has died is a relief.
Just one of the drawbacks living next to Kilauea. Its been spewing lava for decades.
The name Kilauea means "spewing or much spreading". -Aloha🤙
She wants her purity back...to many random people in a sacred area..
In 1955, Lava flowed over a large area just a couple hundred feet south of this bay.
In 1960, Lava flowed over a huge area just a couple hundred feet north of this bay, actually *forming* this bay in the process.
The very ground under that region was a slab of older lava, covered in a bit of soil.
Now in 2018, lava has filled the gap between the previous flows and.....the residents are shocked at it happening!
Yes, it is a tragic loss, but if you build a house on a riverbed, expect to get flooded.

Marvin Kitfox true !

Hard to feel any sympathy - many were vacation rentals owned by wealthy landowners - and it is an active volcano zone. Shouldn't have been allowed to build in the first place.
I guess, "ArthurDent," that being a decent fucking human being is too much to ask of you.
I say, they are lucky, they are alive to talk about, there is some place's that there was a volcano and it took lives. It's a lost sure, but be thankful for your alive, some folks wasn't so lucky in other parts of the world.
show your right...more people are dying daily in Yemen, Syria and Palestine, and it's ok.
NO ONE died here due to lava, not one.
I was displaced from my home by a fire in the downstairs unit a while back. I got out with my cat just in time before the flames were over my front door. My neighbor was not so lucky and lost her two dogs.
The fire sucked, and living with friends for a while was no fun. But I and my cat were alive, I still had a job, my car, and savings, and in my case insurance. Even without insurance, I would have been ok though, just things would have been a little tighter.

Life will go on. And life will return to the lava flows, and there will be new stories to be written.
Kilauea can't kill anybody who isn't suicidal. It's not big enough. It only got "Mount" added to its name a decade or so ago.
Will Pack People still lost their homes. Does it matter where they live? This ought to serve as a sobering reminder that no matter how well off you are, life can still throw a curve ball at you and leave you with nothing.

Lord Byron it won’t take 100. People will find other spots. It a huge island.
Naw 100 year old lava flows look brand new like it happened yesterday 🤣
Thinking of you all from Western Australia.
chrispy_wa, thank you. Mahalo. Prayers are appreciated no matter where they come from.
May I also add my good wishes from Western Australia.
Well wishes from Tampa, FL!
Destruction and creation. Sad to see it go, but Earth is ever-changing. Time to find a new paradise and create new memories.
Don't offer an AirB&B rental in the path of a volcano. It's a losing investment.
It's a tragedy for sure but seriously that's the risk you take building a house on an active volcano.
Is there any way you can show more than 2 seconds of footage that actually pertains to the title?

The Mayor did not mention the community...just his family.
8 second blurb. His comment was no doubt answering a question from the reporter. Lighten up.
Praying for Hawaii 🙏✝
I think its building to something much Bigger, not only is lava pouring out but the Earth is continuously pushing up, Cracks are opening all over the place, Lets hope the Lava Flow is releasing the Pressure, if I was there I would be getting as far away from that volcano as possible.
All the Richey rich need to rebuild now , what do you expect living on a volcano 🤔 any body that lives in Cali or any natural disaster area can die or lose everything in a heartbeat , so don't cry when it happens .
Sad to say this is far from over, Crater collapsed and vent is moving.Guaranteed their paniced behind the scene.
As a retired professional land surveyor (MD & PA) I can’t help but wonder what the property rights/land ownership implications are for these poor folks.
I've lived here for five years, and only been there briefly due to it being a gated community. It was a shame others could not enjoy it as well.
Be glad Hawaii is on top of this. No deaths like the fuego volcano where 61 poor people lost their lives.
The morons who support this pele nonsense seem to be the ones most concerned with their loss of 'things' - they couldn't give a rats ass about people dying somewhere else in a similar but far worse disaster.
Did they feel sad when they were making money?payback time dude
I'm sure it was so beautiful but I can't imagine, there are many beautiful places around to seek I'm yet to find in 57 yrs but got to say brigitine beach nj was my paradise memory then started charging so Atlantic city became my kids paradise. Mama earth is expanding she warns us be greatful n aware for the time we had/have. Blessings to us all!
I’m so sorry that ppl have lost there homes
don't feel sorry for them, they have more money than you will ever make in a life time.
mother nature!! ...absolutely amazing!!!
The residents and home owners were already acting with hostility,maybe this would be a spiritual wake up call.
Guatemalan volcano have more of 2 millions people's with no homes and much death's and that's real they are poors..but this lady here ritch before that..she say no more swimming or anything's..God Lord Jesus
Carlosb Rubio go watch those videos then. This is totally different type and topic.
Hawaii full coverage. Guatemala no coverage. Very fair....
lmmffao WRONG !!!
Idiot.
Funny how they say this beauty was a loss for everyone.
Nope, only the wealthy had access.
Just try to step nearby and find your life threatened, even if done by accident you got too close to someone's land. For my people, Native Americans, no one owns the land. I got lucky, was mistaken for a Hawaiian.
Elaine Marie I feel for the people who had only one home and now it’s gone. I don’t feel for the mega rich who lost one of many homes. Sounds bad, sorry but most super rich people got there by the hard work of others.
agreed, not welcoming for all, parking way a way, walking into some kind of gated community, (probs not all that wealthy though)
Those woman also said "This magical kingdom, just gone" or something like that.
Maybe it is for the good of all that it is gone. Who knows what happened there in the past.
Shiny fassade is not allways what it seems to be.
I lived in Puna for 15 years. Vacation Land was amazing but full of selfish pricks who try to keep you out of "their" paradise.
No, anybody could go there.
Sad that so many have lost so much. Peace to all of you.
No one there is screaming 'why did this happen?' so I'm not sure where all these posts about choosing to live on a volcano are coming from ...
I don't feel sorry for the rich who have second homes in places like Hawaii, when so many of the countries homeless are still hoping to have the privilege of a first home!
to lose your home to the volcano is a hard thing im sure to lose the land and all it holds is devastating there will be peace one day
Heart breaks for everyone that has lost their home. While I welcome learning about this latest event, it doesn't offset my despair for you. Thankfully there wasn't loss of life. Prayers for you.
Don't despair, all these people are millionaires,
There is always a price! You live in a Paradise, BUT it is on top of a huge volcano that is 98% covered by water! Not only that but it is an active volcano, I hope you are intelligent enough to know, you gambled and lost! But you are alive and you still live in Paradise so be thankful! 🍺😎👍
When you live on a volcano.... You need to potentially expect this may happen.
It is sad these are gone, but the essence of life is change.
Very sad about Kapoho.. it looked like a beautiful, magical place. I'm sorry I never got to enjoy it. Aloha.
enough with the fricking fracking already
Its definitely sad for the locals but It happened for a reason, most folks knew this was a possibility all along.
Sinjinbin 64 How about the active flow and eruption for the past 30 years? There’s your reason...
It was not a possibility, it was a certainty.
So a lot of these people lost their second home? Well there's Native Hawaiians that don't even have one home so time to make some room. aloha 🤙
What part of living on or below an active volcano is it that people can't understand. I'd hang some city fathers and real estate people If I was talked into building a house on a volcano lava flow path. 100 years, 1,000 or 10.000 years is not even a blink of an eye in a volcano's timeline. Even after saying that, and so to keep Kamer away, I am truly sorry yall lost your homes.
Praying for the people worldwide that are going through these types of disasters. This was the kind of video that I like to see - no matter what we're going through, we'll get through it together. May God bless you all.
the last time I went to that beautiful paradise pond was four years ago
People dont see it now, but once this stops, its going to be soo green and they’ll just rebuild and have a way bigger area of land. Sorry for those who lost everything though..
Everyone is so upset at these losses. None think about the fact this volcano created the natural beauty these people enjoyed so much, all it’s doing is creating new naturally beautiful areas to enjoy.
Really, it's a shame, but it really can't come as a surprise given the recent history of the area.
Damn that would suck. Glad I live in Kentucky.
If they can build it once..they can rebuild it once this calms down..if it lasts even 5 years..its worth the cost.
How does "good evening" and "hundreds of homes have been destroyed" go into the same sentence? This is absolutely heartbreaking.
WOW..... Is there NO End to this continuing tragic Catastrophe?
REALLY Sinjinbin64??? How profound...... THANX!
I can not feel overly bad about a hand full of wealthy folks loosing paradise ... it will make a nice memory ... one the vast majority never entertain ...
You realize some of the lava ravaged areas were from lower-class people who worked hard in minimum wage paying jobs, right? This is due to the very poor economy of this district (Puna). Source: Grew up here in lava-ravaged area, have been trying to make enough money to move off the island, there's no jobs here at all. Been getting plenty of shit from people making assumptions about Hawaii, assuming everyone "chose" to be there. Listen up, people, I'm glad you have a CHOICE on where you live, but in the real world, many of us aren't as lucky as you.
Wow I was wondering when someone would find something to blame on the Jews....And here we are ,sigh.
It was good while it lasted.
Im waiting for these people to start demanding the Hawaiian government owes them property to rebuild...someone will sue for it...
O Well Life Happens When you live on a Volcano ......time to move forward
Its a pity these people lost their fishing harbour, can there be built another one on the safe side of the island ??? Say like in PNG they left Rabaul and went to Kokopo. They built a new harbour too.
There must be a few real estate sellers hiding under their beds at the moment...and the companies that fracked for gas in the area...surely their activities didn't help the situation.
That's not what I have been reading....
rose is stupid
Geothermal fracking IS a type of fracking.
Is it a coincidence that Kilauea started erupting in 1983 and hasn't stopped since?
"Constructed on a site adjacent to failed experimental wells drilled and operated by the Hawaii Geothermal Project in the 1970s and 80s, construction on the generating facility began in 1989 and was completed in 1993."
They act like they had no idea this could ever happen. How do they think that I want to got there in the first place?
That neighborhood was keeping the locals off of the shoreline to fish and dive....gated community, and wanted to build a resort.
I'm in disbelief at the disbelief!
The Lord giveth, the Lord taketh!
im the builder and the destroyer .. im the earth you are just a guests :)
Mayor Kim has been insprational. But, can you do more interviews with the common Hawaiian? One young man in a shelter spoke about how it was brining him closer to the ancestors and connecting him even more closely with his heritage-- because this was there experience for centuries. These are stories that all of America needs to hear.
My family and myself had the good fortune to visit Hawaii from NZ - We absolutely loved Kapoho Bay when we stayed their - just a few days before the flows started on Leilani Estates - yes many were holiday homes - but we very friendly locals just strolling around and when we walked to the tide pools. Yes these were expensive homes - but I felt that the place we stayed in was built with love & care - and figured it was going to be the owners retirement home . We had wished we had more time to stay - it was muy tranquilo - the tide pools , the hot pools & black sand beaches up road through and absolutely fantastic drive through a canopy of trees . Yes go Waikiki & Maui ( great for families ) - but Big Island & Kauai do have a lot to offer - Kia Ora , Kia Kaha & Aroha from Aotearoa
No, not disaster. The earth evolves. This event is epic and beautiful.
i guess madam pele doesnt like her island being used by vacationing foreigners
the islands were uninhabited so I'm assuming you're refering to all people
I'm sorry folks when you CHOOSE KNOWINGLY to buy and build in Zone 1 of the most active Volcano on earth you are assuming a Known RISK. To be surprised, and shocked and saddened over the fact that the most active Volcano on earth has consumed the land in the highest risk area is like being shocked and saddened that poking a Grizzly Bear will not go well for you. Every one of these people chose of their own free will to take a very high risk. For many years they got away with it. Now they act shocked and upset that their risk in the face of a Known Hazard has resulted in disaster. This is illogical in the extreme. Believe me people when I tell you very few feel sorry for you. Most are incredulous at your shock with the result of your ridiculous gamble. Reality can be a bitch. Welcome to the reality of your gamble. No offense intended. It's just the plain truth and reality of the situation.
Do you burst into other peoples' funerals yelling "we all die some day!"?
al8603cl, About time someone else who knows what they talking about...
I totally agree. Volcano has been erupting since what, 1983. I feel bad that people could make this poor a decision to try to live in its reach but that's where my sympathy ends. Shoulda thought of consequences, not that hard to figure out
Have a little compassion. There is no reason for this kind of comment. What does it accomplish? Even if people were aware of the risk and accepted it, it doesn't make this time any easier for them. And you are just adding to their hurt.
I'm glad you have a choice on where you live. How about people who live in common wildfire zones? (California/Colorado/New Mexico) How about people who live on flood plains or in tornado zones? (most of the US, actually) Tropical areas with common hurricanes? (Caribbean, particularly Puerto Rico) You're not safe from nature anywhere. Stop pretending like everyone in Hawaii had a choice on where they lived, especially considering a lot of people from this area are extremely poor. Again, absolute ignorance in UA-cam comments, what a surprise.
Poor rich people
They weren't rich people. They were mostly ordinary people who bought cheap in a hazardous zone and hoped they'd get away with it.
not a rich area jackass, its quite cheap because of the lava risk. mostly local farming families.
Just visited those ponds last year, how devastating to think it is all gone. Best snorkelling spot, so warm.
Volcanoes sure are bad for the environment.
Praying for residents and visitors. Hope everyone and all of their pets are safe. God bless those who are now homeless. Wow, Howard Dashefsky really held it together. I know his heart was breaking too.
On every single video about the lava flow there are people saying, "yeah well, you were stupid to live there in the first place". I don't live there (I live in South Africa) but I'm sure that it is often worth the risk living in paradise, especially if you are retired and want to spend the rest of your days in peace and quiet or better yet, if you were born there. These people knew the risk involved, you don't have to tell them that. Unfortunately, even if disaster strikes one day, you are still struck with horror and a sense of loss. Because not only is your home gone, but the fantastic nature and beaches too and it will take multiple decades for things to return to normal.
My point is, yes, there is risk living there and sometimes you pay dearly for that risk, but you have to wonder why people comment at all when the only things you can do is point fingers and say negative things to the people effected. Why rather not say anything at all?
Yes and no, it largely depends where you live. If you live on a farm it is extremely dangerous, there are 4 farm attacks per week on average and around one person to a whole family is killed per week on white owned farms (unfortunately with lots of torture and brutality). Furthermore, South Africa is basically like Brazil, lots of violent crime and corruption so everyone is effected by it. The white families on farms are unfortunately killed due to political motivations and not just crime.
There is also social and political movement towards Communism by the black majority, especially in politics and unfortunately it is starting to make everyone else feel marginalised including Cape coloureds (KhoiSan and Malaysian mixed race), Indians and of course whites.
In terms of safety at present, there are both very safe and clean areas and very dangerous areas in South Africa. If you are lucky enough to live in rich gated communities there is very little chance of being effected by crime.
Panick, you deserve to be a frighty whitey in S. Africa. You stole their land, and the natives now have the upper hand. Sleep with one eye open . . .
You choose to live in the murder capitol of the world
@John Jelks who said: "Panick, you deserve to be a frighty whitey. You stole their land, and the natives now have the upper hand. Sleep with one eye open..."
Thank you John Jelks, I appreciate your comment. I have pasted it above for the rest of the world to marvel at its breathtaking ignorance.
"Crazy Baldheads" - for Panicked
Them crazy, them crazy -
We gonna chase those crazy
Baldheads out of town;
Chase those crazy baldheads
Out of our town.
I'n'I build a cabin;
I'n'I plant the corn;
Didn't my people before me
Slave for this country?
Now you look me with that scorn,
Then you eat up all my corn.
We gonna chase those crazy -
Chase them crazy -
Chase those crazy baldheads out of town!
Build your penitentiary, we build your schools,
Brainwash education to make us the fools.
Hate is your reward for our love,
Telling us of your God above.
We gonna chase those crazy -
Chase those crazy bunkheads -
Chase those crazy baldheads out of the town!
We gonna chase those crazy -
Chase those crazy bunkheads -
Chase those crazy baldheads out of the town!
Here comes the conman
Coming with his con plan.
We won't take no bribe;
We've got (to) stay alive.
We gonna chase those crazy -
Chase those crazy baldheads -
Chase those crazy baldheads out of the town.

It's as if the Ring of Fire is losing it. This had been going on4 way2 long.
This is very sad, but as far as I know, no one has died, while at the same time a volcano in Guatemala killed at least 80 people.
Sorry for the people who lost their homes to mother nature , I am with you in these difficult times which Mother Nature have decided to reclaim its ground
They still own the house and land....just build on top of it and make it an attraction. I'd visit it.
i thought it seemed disrespectful to keep talking and reporting when it seemed they had started the meeting. js.
There are massive lava flows that have occurred relatively recently geologically all over the big island. Many are on the Kona side.
kapu has been lifted this is a perfect example that the kapu system never left the islands so please watch what you think say and do in Hawai-I nei
Much strength & love to all effected
take everything back mother nature! now if yosemite can do the same!
I knew some Dashefsky in Alaska. So sad to see so many great places destroyed.
Wow, it was really pretty there
That last shot from the air...looked like an amazing point break has formed now. Sorrows Point?
jeeesus, talk about melodramatic. When it's all cooled off you can reshape the area again. It's how nature made your pools to begin with. Saying you can't go swimming there again is ridiculous. Nature gives and takes it away, that's the cycle.
Da lava filled in a whole bay lol kapoho bay that's wat they was talking about
@@daarchdukefranzferdinand236 yeah I know what they were talking about, seems like you don’t know what I was saying.
WoW. OVER. 30. Day's. Of. Lava. 🔥🌋🔥. When. Will. It. Stop ????
That's what you get for living on top of a volcano
So sorry for your loss Howard!!
Houses lost is nothing to the 75 lives lost from El Fuego Volcano In Guatemala
The homes may be gone but the lava will leave behind a new paradise with new bays and wonders.
I stayed with a friend on the Big Island in 2006, just five miles from where all this is happening. Its terrible, its a massive loss for so many.....yet, all these people chose to live on a live, ever growing volcano because they knew the rewards of living in the most beautiful place on earth outweighed the risks. Its a part of life on the island, knowing that Mauna Loa and Kilauea call the shots, period. Its sad, and there are spots I'd like to see again someday, that I really, really hope aren't buried by the lava. And yet, this flow will stop one day, the lava will turn to stone, and plants will sprout from the cracks. And there will be new pools, and new beaches, and new houses...in time....
It's like living in Oklahoma, u know there's tornadoes. . Or Florida, u know there hurricanes, u have to deal with it
Those of us who live on Moku O Keawe know the dangers and we accept those dangers just like people who live in the Oklahoma Panhandle, Florida Coastline, Texas Coastline and other places affected by nature's ever changing presence. No one here is asking why me, when you suffer a loss you grieve and that is natural. We don't want or need your pity but instead some empathy and support. Many of us do not see this as mass destruction but instead the ongoing growth of an island. The only things that are being destroyed are man made. Everything else is the natural cycle of life and death.
There must be some real pressure building inside the Earth I wonder where that pressure is coming from ?
Yes poor people, but lucky watch pompei, never build a home near a volcano if you want a quiet life lol!
Francois Montesinos i live by mountains but not volcanos..too dangers
Focus on highlighting that nobody should build their lives on the boundaries of volcanic activity. Terrible reporting.
