The comments from non Hawaii residents are so ridiculous. All this lava eruption/activity is happening in a lava zone...which people (90% visitors who moved here) bought for pennies on the dollar because of its zoning. Since I was born, we've been dealing with smog/sulfur dioxide, lava erruptions, etc. Its a way of life and doesn't really impact anyone else outside the lava zone/south east ridge. People in Hilo (largest city) and Kona (2nd largest) and every town/small city in between are going on with their normal days. Matter of fact, there's more people trying to come in to sightsee. This aint new to us. Its new to you.
I'm a non Hawaii resident, in fact I live in Europe but have been spending time on the Big Island. You're answer is very much to the point!! (I had a very good friend living in the Kona surrounding (Kealakekua), he has been past away some 14 years ago but I still feel bitten by the way of life.) Mahalo to you.
Mugshot Marley it's not the eruption itself that scares me, look up Helina Slump, and then compare its position with the new fissures that are opening up, sort of like a dotted line, running along the fault that boarders Helina, if she slips... way more loss of life than a few possible suffocation victims from sulfur dioxide
Early in this eruption event the lava was very viscous. The most recent lava flow is obviously far less viscous. This means the lava from the most recent flows is much newer lava from deeper in the earth. For the layman the early lava flows were much thicker. The newest lava is much more fluid indicating new lava and capable of flowing farther and moving faster.
Sleepy, the lava in the volcano has been draining now for two weeks. The level in the crater has been dropping steadily to the point where they believe it has dropped near or below the water level. If lava is coming out of the summit it is NEW lava as their assertion that the existing lava has dropped/drained near or below the water level. Furthermore, the newest fissures lava is far less viscous that the lava from the initial eruptions. That alone tells you it is new lava from deeper in the earth.
The lava at the summit is the "fresh" lava, if I understand correctly. It comes directly up from the magma chamber to the crater. Whatever happened to drain the crater and divert the lava to the rift zone simply redirected it. Another USGS person in a previous video said the original, viscous lava was chemically the same as lava that had erupted in that area in a 1950s eruption. I'm a layman, but the picture I got was that there was "old" lava in the rift zone, and the diversion of the lava from the main crater into the rift zone first pushed out that old lava, and now the new stuff is coming out. Now why the magma decided to drain out of the crater and into the rift zone, that is a mystery to me. Maybe the original 6.something earthquake caused it?
Does anyone know that Mt. St. Helens actually erupted again in 2005? I was living in Portland, OR when this happened. If I remember correctly, it was at the end of May to early June. I was walking on the river walk in the downtown area when I witnessed this.
Not to mention her stating earthquake activity had diminished well since 1 Hawaii time there has been 11 earthquakes 2.5 magnitude and higher anywhere from 2km to 7km away at the surface.
Thats just measuring 2.5 or higher over 20 total in the same time frame just at Volcano. There has been a pattern. Yesterday had lower volume but today it shot back up especially in the last 4 hours. I'd hardly call that diminished.
Jacob Hammond, we don't even notice earthquakes of less than 3. They hardly even are felt until they reach at least 4. Yes, there are a lot of them happening at this time, but no significant ones, since the 6.9 a week ago or so.
Set the time frame to the last week. There was an uptick in earthquakes at the summit up until the phreatic eruptions, when they slowed down. They will probably ramp back up before the next phreatic eruption, which they are saying is likely. That was the eruption that spit out the ash and rock.
Just because they don't feel anything doesn't mean they aren't there. A 3.0 and lighter are light earthquakes yes but the amount is what I'm stressing. Just because you at not feel them means absolutely nothing. The meters feel them which means movement below the surface. I'd hope you wouldn't feel them because that would mean you were standing at the crater or very close to it
Lucky for you I live in Puna and we can hear the loud explosions making it hard to sleep at night. And yesterday the vog was everywhere, we had to seal every holes in our house
Meanwhile on the "safe" mainland we've had more kids killed by another kid than this volcano has hurt in the past 25 years. But everybody in Hawaii has to "get out now". Where they gonna go - Santa Fe, Texas? Parkland maybe? But let's get condescending about Hawaii.
LardGreystoke Hawaii has its killings too. People on the main land just don't hear about them. There is a lot of looting going on too. It's kept quiet to protect tourism. As far as where are they going to go? There's no safe place on this planet. They just have to try and find a decent place to go.
I am wondering, lava keep piles up on the ground, then what happen under the ground? is there somewhere empty space under the ground? I see a lot of cracks on the street , if, we make some kind holes side of the street ? haha
I have a question, what was the floor elevation inside the creator before the recent eruption and what is it now? also do you have an estimate of the volume that was lost?
DJ Deckard Cain lol seriously, these folks have ample time to leave. Any deaths should be outright stupidity. Things can be replaced, and if you can afford to live in Hawaii, your probably 100% insured.
Gaea i don't know who you are talking too, but I'm not trying to be rude or start an argument. I just want to send my thoughts and prayers to them. And I'm not Atheist.
Z Riley, your comment about being able to afford to live in Hawaii, therefore all here would be 100% insured, is just simply wrong. There are many who live in Hawaii who are most definitely NOT wealthy. Also, in the case of an entire home being lost to lava, NO insurance ever covers *everything*. If you've ever been through, or known someone who has been through something this serious and complete, you would know that to even receive any sort of recompense from an insurance company, the claimant must first list *every* thing they lost, give when it was purchased or received, what the item's value was initially, and after being used for a length of time.. all of this must be listed out in the manner specified by the insurance company. Almost always if a house is covered, not everything in it is listed specifically. In other words the person claiming must figure out depreciation for everything they claim to have lost. It's really a very rough thing to have to go through, especially since often there are items gotten from family members who are no longer alive. It can easily take 6 months before they receive significant money from the insurance company. Please remember that the insurance companies don't really want to part with any more money than they're forced to.
It's like any script from any disaster movie / mixed with a comedy that the only information is everything is open,nothing to see here ,come with your family,see the lava spatter ,see the boulders fly thru the air ,play what's that poisonous gas,and as a further bonus the phone conference fiasco with every question met with awkward silence then a answer of we don't have that information,we haven't been up there today , you can find the answer on our website.
Of interest is the sudden release of the Hilina slump, with a long line of vents transverse the slip face, and the possibility of explosion from the geo-power facility. What's the deep news?
You're looking for conspiracies from geologists? Science is about shedding light, not hiding facts. Please, give yourself the gift of embracing reason over confirmation bias en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias

Merely inviting notice of pertinent lines of inquiry. Where has the lava from the main tube gone? What conditions prompt the slow slip to a rapid slip? How much in trouble is the geo-thermal station? How helpful to safety is ignoring these questions? Perhaps a uniformitarian bias.
Thank you. It is May 2018. I am glad to have been led to this film. I see Pele dancing on the 19.5 latitude, the sacred geometry vortex of Mother Earth. I have asked about the dropping of the rocky skirt Hilina into the ocean. Though it has happened before, and the debris is seen under the waves, at the foot of the seamont, white man science does not listen to the long cycles of ages. I do not want the string of 21 fissures to part the skirt from the land. My Bebes live all around the ring of fire. I respect the Huna and love the Mother. I invite all to dance the hula of the sacred rays of archangels of the One infinite creator. I ask the star families to alleviate catastrophe as all human awaken to remember each who they are, today, in this shift of ages. Aloha! Welcome home, children of the One!
Under Hawaii , there is a Chamber that holds a very large Flume mass , And Hawaii is Moving Constantly , So The Fisher is the Line of least resistant , a Fisher is a Crack in the ground that Opens a New Path for the Lava to Flow , , So it Did release the Most Major Pressure At Lava Lake ( Miss Conception that the lake is Center of Valcano , and The Lake Is Just a Weak spot=Path of Least resistance =Fisher= New Flows of lava releasing pressure = Dropping the Core Thusly= No Major eruption at the Lake -?- YET
silverss onyoutube path of least resistance, but I do believe it is 100% connected to Yellow Stone, Follow The Yellow Brick Rd... It was where the moon blooped from... As the surface layers/plates/Organic magic carpets drifted back, (though do to varying viscosities/thicknesses/minerals/etc, sediment/clay/water/etc.) The point of origin continues to roll forward.... I would guess, it runs deeper than the Mariana Trench. ⭐️😽💋
They call it "The Rift Zone" for a reason... The channeling and eruption of lava from underground conduits is expected, and directions of flow are predictable.
Now here's my version of doomsaying. If all the energy that has up to now fed the lava lake at the summit now is funnelled downrift, we may look at a loooooong episode. And much more real estate covered by new lava.

Why not use drones to gather lava flow samples. With the remote observation that can be rigged onto a remote drone a user could safely retrieve samples while only risking a remote device rather than a human.
The fact is these "experts" don't know how active this eruption is going to be or how long it will last, all they have are previous eruptions in which they can compare their data with, however just because it is similar to the eruption in 1955 doesn't mean it will be exactly the same. As for catastrophic subsidence, again they are derelict in their duty to offhandedly dismiss this as never happening before because it has happened in the islands history. People may find it comforting to move into normalcy bias and say "well that was tens of thousands of years ago" but the fact is none of those experts know the longer eruption cycles of these volcanoes or that this eruption is part of a longer cycle of activity. Anybody living on this island should have the mentality "prepare for the worst and hope for the best" or you can just put your complete faith in government experts, personally I never leave my safety or the safety of my family to anybody but myself.
Hilna Slump is now being insinuated as fantasy. The Q&A round robin refers to the USGS web site. Lastly the considerations on Lava sampling just needs a Titanium shelled AI made such for activities. Boiler operators know exactly who big to expect explosions when Super Hot meets various lower level temps. This can easily create a locomotive effect, in calculating explosion versus force equals level of movement. Hilna Slump is a total reality. Underwater landslides should be monitored by buoyies right now if they can think that far ahead.
A rumour that the USGS HVO even wrote on in it February, has happened before, and could happen again. It was funny how they didn't give a straight answer so first. Keep in mind the government wasn't going to say anything to the people of Pripyat about Chernobyl either.
@13 minutes the rude lady asking questions seems rude as hell when she is told to ask one question and they will circle around to let her ask a second question...people need to understand these folks are doing what they can... they do not woe you anything so be thankful they are taking time to answer question at all
Prayers and love sending to everyone in Hawaii sending to God our Lord to stay safe 😇👼💞🙏💞💖💕💖💞💕💞🌺🏝🌺 People not going to Hawaii til this is over!!!! Only ones that will go is to help, studying and news.🌋🎥📽 Money shouldn't be important life should!!!!!!
USGS doesn't seem to have it together....most of speakers not even on site....oh but they sure want you know parts of this park is reopened.....ARE YOU KIDDING ME!! Gee how can I get a position with USGS!!!
It's like the "experts" in the Twin Towers telling people to stay in their offices...but those who listened to common sense had a window of time to escape and lived.. your choice..😣
at 12:30 those rocks look clean!? like they were put there, just saying it's just what it looks like. Little anger there from their end....The rest of the report is just weird....
Thank you for debunking the “biblical” hysteria because it’s not biblical, it’s just normal for Hawaii. We need to have a separation of church and volcano. A Yellowstone eruption though might qualify as biblical but not the Kilauea system. Good job everybody and USGS for reaching out to the people, this is what the internet is all about.
World Coming Down 5778 , the world is not coming down and earthquakes and volcanos happen every year, every where on the planet. The problem with American Christianity is that its end times theology emerged out of isolation from its own history and the outside world. There have been major eruptions in the past that dwarf what’s going on in Hawaii - Lakigar fissure in Iceland, Toba, Tambora, and Krakatoa in Indonesia, and Yellowstone in America. The Siberian traps and there are 6 known supervolcanos around the world. In order for volcanic or seismic activity to be a sign it would have to be unusual in some way, it would have to show some signs of abnormality where people said hey this isn’t natural. That’s not happening. Nothing going on elsewhere either. If your interested there is an app called ‘Quake Feed’ that will show you all earthquakes around the world from 1.0 to 9.0. And you can see what goes on everyday on a living planet. I’m not anti religion, I read the Bible, but there is a history of apocalyptic hysteria dating back 1900 years and rising and falling with various dates and natural disasters. Imagine living in England in the year 1666, people were losing their minds.
The truth will be revealed soon. If you think that this volcanic activity is what Christians are pointing out, you must live under a rock. These things are happening all over the world. This one just happens to be in our backyard. You mentioned Yellowstone, you know it's showing new signs of activity right?? By your own words, an eruption of biblical proportion can happen at any moment, and you choose now as a time to mock Christians?
There is no such thing as "end times", only people deciding to willingly saturate their brains with conspiracy theories. The same science that allows you to comment on this video is the same science these expert scientists use to provide accurate information on Kīlauea.
Bold Guardian , listen I hate to be the bearer of bad news but geological activity did not begin with the discovery of America or new scientific instruments. What’s new depends on how far back our records go. Yellowstone will blow within the next 10,000 years because that’s what we know by record. The New Madrid fault will pop in about 200 years. The JuanDeFuca fault will snap at anytime. The 9.0 that hit Japan actually occurs every 1,000 years. Its not the end of the world. If you want to convince people of the worlds end then you must provide real evidence of something unusual, something that is Para normal or Supra natural. Geological activity on a living planet is natural, its normal.
That was so sad... overall I looking to you not the drama news. But that was just wrong!. Where I am I not too worried but...... I think the news is not known what will be... o sorry I don't know so how can you, thank you for your work
Promoting visits to the park is like asking people to get on rides in an amusement park that's on fire. in the past - every 100k years - there have been tsunamis generated by volcanoes collapsing after eruptions that devastated most of the Hawaiian Islands and reached No. America. Hope it doesn't happen this time, but it could. Why isn't govt. sending ships to evacuate more people there? IMO nowhere on those islands is safe.
As I listen to this whole video this is just ridiculous. The cracks in the road are passable. Why in the hell would you cross a road that has cracks in it? At any given time they could collapse. Great idea. Just like the metal plates over cracks to patch the road. Metal plates over hot earth. People are smart.
Where I live we have what are called "potholes". I drove over one in the dark once and it broke my rim. And we have metal plates too. Not all roads are perfect. Not even in paradise.
LardGreystoke Yes I know what a pothole is, but when the earth is literally tearing the highway apart probably not the best idea to cross even with a metal plate as a "patch". Metal plates are used everywhere to cover potholes. Really shouldn't be used in an event where the road has been ripped apart by the earth moving. That can't possibly end well.
Most of the cracking has not developed into fissures. There are still people that need to get into and out of the area, emergency crews, media, residents recovering stuff from their homes. That is legitimate information for people in the area.
@BigIslandVideoNews , Might Wanna think about gettting Outta there , Dont ya think , What happens to a Supper Valcano when is Looses Mass in its core , and slowly returns , Hope "" Mother """ Isnt Angry , , , ?????
I guess the only danger, besides hurting tourism, from this “non event” is the “experts” boring us to death by answering these unimportant questions that are being ask. Either they don’t have a clue or they’re not telling us anything helpful.
Kathie gillaspie now if they outright came out and said the truth, that the helina slump could slide and cause a mega tsunami, no matter of fact they act as if its lunacy. When it's known fact( I mean look a Google for fucks sake) that it shifts every two years, and low and behold it's due to shift any day now, but it's just a mere coincidence that all this ramped up volcanic activity is happening around the time of a shift, weakening the earth around the site and the say its nothing to worry about, but I guess they downplay it to avoid panicking the local population
Stop playing around with electromagnetic frequencies and radio antennas... They are bringing out the desired effect they want right under the public's nose
Volcanoes are driven by the gas beneath them. The gas accumulates over time. Saint Helens spent 100 years dormant. There was 100 years worth of magma dissolved gas beneath the mountain. The eruption was very violent. Kilauea erupts often. So, The gas accumulation is small. With less gas dissolved in the magma, the explosive force is much smaller. Think of a pop can when it is shaken and opened. That is how volcanoes work. More time, more magma dissolved gas, more explosive power. It is very good that Kilauea erupts so often. It is then much less violent.
Just watched a Lava River while your helicopters flew overhead and one huge fissure going off for a long time! ua-cam.com/video/SEcLitBiGhY/v-deo.html He puts a watermark over the video part of the way in, just skip ahead. He took it off because so many people complained! Start up at the beginning. Towards the end, some people came by to visit and they kept stepping in front of the camera.
Hell is a human construct, but if we're to class magma, lava and sulfur dioxide as hell, than basically we live on the crust of cool rock on top of a sphere of hell. Hell (or heaven) is where the heart is ;)
Dee B A Hawaii resident who understands what our volcanoes are capable of, who and what is being effected, what is being done, what can be done and trust the scientists at HVO and the USGS to know what they are talking about more than naysayers on the internet.
Nick Holloway Any day now? Really? Nevermind that lava fissures are not anything new in Lower Puna. Long long ago lava fissures erupted in the same general area and yet no huge landslide. Nevermind that lava eruptions have been ongoing for over 30 years at Pu’u Oo, which is closer to Hilina Slump and yet nothing happened.
Man these people are vague. Can we please come to a consensus that this thing has a mind of its own. It's not like a cold front where you can predict to an extent. These people use real time data and compare them to past data. We are in 2018 and have no better way to measure this? The slump isn't explained very well just said go check the website kinda laughed off. Just because it hasn't happened before doesn't mean it won't happen. Crazier things have happened before and as far as I'm concerned playing chicken with this is not a good thing to do especially with people's lives at stake. People on the opposite side of the island have told me this is the worse air quality they have seen in well over 25 years. Very downplayed and very condescending attitudes from these people.
Jacob Hammond It has happened before and may be happening again. Look at how the vents or fissures are opening in a straight line - sort of like cutting on the dotted line. There are a lot of underground explosions and look at all the cracking going on. The cracks are getting wider and deeper. And what is going to happen when the ocean water meets up with the lava in the fissures or the volcano itself? I believe the water may be the trigger that starts or continues the separation of the Hilina Slump.
Sylvia Jean Adams I agree with you 100% They have no way of knowing but just assuming it won't isn't the right approach. Nobody taught them prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
Uluwehi Knecht the scientists don’t know all that is going on underground. If they did, they would have said not to build houses on top of a fissure zone.
Everyone please shut up about the Hilina Slump. Please shut up about "they knew the risks". Please shut the hell up about politics. What are you doing?
They test the lava for its composition to understand where in the ground it originated. Science requires data; seeing isn't always believing, especially when we're talking about things under the ground!
Shearing is a geological term that usually specifically refers to movement along fault lines. For efficiency and accuracy, scientist rely on precise terminology that doesn't usually equate with colloquial uses of the same words; this is why science journalists write articles to translate jargon into common parlance so everyone who aren't specialists can understand. The ground is splitting because of magma intrusion, nothing more.
It's been my experience folks that no matter how much we tell those ppl on that island how much danger they are in or how bad it really truly is, they will call us fear mongers and liars and tell us to mind our own business. They don't believe it's going to get much worse yet all of us KNOW IT'S JUST BEGINNING... ALL WE CAN DO FOR THEM IS PRAY FOR THEM SINCE THEY DON'T WANT ANYTHING ELSE FROM US EXCEPT MONEY AND SUPPLIES
Aries Might I understand that it's their home and all, but if I had to choose my life and the lives of my family over my home, I'd be gone in a heartbeat. You can replace a home and the material things in it, but you can't replace a life.. Especially a child's life... Give them a chance to live and be the next generation to carry on the stories and traditions of the family and ancestors
SKY WARRIOR That’s right, and yet you keep up the fear munger routine. No one has died because they are listening to the real experts, the volcanologists, and not some person on the internet like you.
SKY WARRIOR, you better get running, because no place on Earth is safe. When it's your time it's your time and no matter where you are it will get you. So run scared, and keep running.
jfsfrnd. He'll is the common grave of mankind. Jesus was in hell for parts of 3 days. Humans will be resurrected from hell, which again is the grave. Religions have used torment in hell fire to scare people. Rev 20: 13- 15 Some translations use the word hell and some use Hades. One and the same. Hades is the Greek word for hell. Hell will release those held captive. According to scripture the resurrection of the dead will take place on EARTH.
Krakatoa was a totally different volcano. The whole island was effected. The Hilina slump is only like an very small part of the island. It doesn't mean it would affect a lot of people should it happen. They know it's happened before. They claim they're keeping an eye on this movement, but it's nature and no one really knows why volcano's have a mind of their own. They don't want panic. People where warned to evacuate the Mt. St. Helen's areas. Some did heed the warning, some did not.
For the BILLIONTH time: Kīlauea volcano is a *shield volcano*, which is incredibly different and far, far less dangerous than a pyroclastic volcano such as Krakatoa.
------- Talking is not a standard routine of mine but let me tell you one more time Why have you not sent down some Lava Divers to scope out the pacific routes that this Lava is taking. Get with the program. Isn't there any lava divers anymore? I did say once that the entire area would have to be evacuated anyway but no one ever listens.
If these were scripted answers, they would have sounded far more polished and less awkward. Some scientists are awkward people, stop making unfair assumptions and projecting en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_projection
Its in relation to not telling the whole truth on the possible outcomes. Nothing more, nothing less. Of course business comes before tax payers! Money makes the wheels turn, we are mere beasts of burden.
What is it about working for USGS that requires you to be a condescending jerk, I think you’re taking yourselves a way to seriously, just answer all the questions. Disappointing people in charge all sound like a bunch of 18-year-old baby millennial’s. I’m sure they all probably think they should be running the entire USGS And wondering why their genius has been overlooked. Oh yeah please more up talk it makes you sound like you know what you’re talking about.
ok the guy talking at 7:00 is absolutely WRONG! wtf did he fail geology of the Hawaii islands? shit man, that is how the islands erode into what they are today, pieces of them break off from time to time and slide down the slope, well documented. not often but enough to shape the island chain. at some point in time that section will break off right on the fissure line, maybe not this event but be sure some time in the future it will break off, its what the geological record show. why the hell he is saying this i could not guess, political pressure maybe? anyone who can type into google or read a geological history book on Hawaii can learn the truth. Pieces do break off and slide down the slope of the volcano that rises from the ocean floor its well documented occurrence in the history of the Hawaii island. I am by NO means saying its going to during this event as i have stated but it will one day for sure. EDIT EDIT, ok i re-listened to him what he said is Kilauea has never broken off a chunk, this is TRUE, because its a NEW volcano (relatively) to the other islands age. Kilauea is young in the island chain. so maybe it has not aged enough to break off a chunk, it will though, but if you listen he is only talking about Kilauea, not the other island volcanos. My bad. IF this section does it will be the first time Kilauea has broken off a chunk of land. sorry.
Catastrophic landslides are indeed a part of the geological history of the Hawaiian islands (and many other volcanic islands) however, they happen on parts of the islands that are much older. Kīlauea is the newest section of the archipelago, and the scientist is just providing facts that there have not been any catastrophic landslides in the history of this particular volcano. Remember that the island of Hawai'i (aka BIg Island) is made of multiple volcanoes (all older than Kīlauea). Your misunderstanding here is understandable as the scientist who spoke did not proactively explain this, but in fairness, most scientists aren't the best communicators and this is why scientific journalism is so important. This audio is not polished journalism.
The entire island will explode. I can feel a major catastrophe afoot. We all screwed. Btw Hawaii is in the middle of the ring of fire and it’s the bullseye. Anything can happen.
Romans 10:9-11 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
The lava is definitely flowing faster and is more fluid and really looks cool😋
The comments from non Hawaii residents are so ridiculous. All this lava eruption/activity is happening in a lava zone...which people (90% visitors who moved here) bought for pennies on the dollar because of its zoning. Since I was born, we've been dealing with smog/sulfur dioxide, lava erruptions, etc. Its a way of life and doesn't really impact anyone else outside the lava zone/south east ridge. People in Hilo (largest city) and Kona (2nd largest) and every town/small city in between are going on with their normal days. Matter of fact, there's more people trying to come in to sightsee. This aint new to us. Its new to you.
Mugshot Marley -thanks for being a voice of reason amongst a lot of idiots masquerading as volcanologists or geologists.
I'm a non Hawaii resident, in fact I live in Europe but have been spending time on the Big Island.
You're answer is very much to the point!!
(I had a very good friend living in the Kona surrounding (Kealakekua), he has been past away some 14 years ago but I still feel bitten by the way of life.) Mahalo to you.
Mugshot Marley it's not the eruption itself that scares me, look up Helina Slump, and then compare its position with the new fissures that are opening up, sort of like a dotted line, running along the fault that boarders Helina, if she slips... way more loss of life than a few possible suffocation victims from sulfur dioxide
Early in this eruption event the lava was very viscous. The most recent lava flow is obviously far less viscous. This means the lava from the most recent flows is much newer lava from deeper in the earth. For the layman the early lava flows were much thicker. The newest lava is much more fluid indicating new lava and capable of flowing farther and moving faster.
So it's going to rock and roll for a while.
Listen to what she said 1:00 -- the new lava came down from the summit, not deeper in the earth.
Sleepy, the lava in the volcano has been draining now for two weeks. The level in the crater has been dropping steadily to the point where they believe it has dropped near or below the water level. If lava is coming out of the summit it is NEW lava as their assertion that the existing lava has dropped/drained near or below the water level. Furthermore, the newest fissures lava is far less viscous that the lava from the initial eruptions. That alone tells you it is new lava from deeper in the earth.
The lava at the summit is the "fresh" lava, if I understand correctly. It comes directly up from the magma chamber to the crater. Whatever happened to drain the crater and divert the lava to the rift zone simply redirected it.
Another USGS person in a previous video said the original, viscous lava was chemically the same as lava that had erupted in that area in a 1950s eruption. I'm a layman, but the picture I got was that there was "old" lava in the rift zone, and the diversion of the lava from the main crater into the rift zone first pushed out that old lava, and now the new stuff is coming out.
Now why the magma decided to drain out of the crater and into the rift zone, that is a mystery to me. Maybe the original 6.something earthquake caused it?
Thanks for the comments. I’d subscribe to your volcano channel. I don’t think I need to even watch this video now.
Be Safe on the Anniversary of Mt. St. Helens 38-years ago.
Does anyone know that Mt. St. Helens actually erupted again in 2005? I was living in Portland, OR when this happened. If I remember correctly, it was at the end of May to early June. I was walking on the river walk in the downtown area when I witnessed this.
Not to mention her stating earthquake activity had diminished well since 1 Hawaii time there has been 11 earthquakes 2.5 magnitude and higher anywhere from 2km to 7km away at the surface.
That is diminished activity.
Thats just measuring 2.5 or higher over 20 total in the same time frame just at Volcano. There has been a pattern. Yesterday had lower volume but today it shot back up especially in the last 4 hours. I'd hardly call that diminished.
Jacob Hammond, we don't even notice earthquakes of less than 3. They hardly even are felt until they reach at least 4. Yes, there are a lot of them happening at this time, but no significant ones, since the 6.9 a week ago or so.
Set the time frame to the last week. There was an uptick in earthquakes at the summit up until the phreatic eruptions, when they slowed down. They will probably ramp back up before the next phreatic eruption, which they are saying is likely. That was the eruption that spit out the ash and rock.
Just because they don't feel anything doesn't mean they aren't there. A 3.0 and lighter are light earthquakes yes but the amount is what I'm stressing. Just because you at not feel them means absolutely nothing. The meters feel them which means movement below the surface. I'd hope you wouldn't feel them because that would mean you were standing at the crater or very close to it
All good over here in Kona, a bit of shaking and vog though.
jerome fabian , named my poodle after Kona. love it there. we had a lab named Hana, but she passed. miss her so much and the good times in the island.
Lucky for you I live in Puna and we can hear the loud explosions making it hard to sleep at night. And yesterday the vog was everywhere, we had to seal every holes in our house
Sending prayers your way Hawaii
There is no end in sight looks like it keeps getting worse . prayers to the Hawaii ppl.
They do a tremendously good job explaining their assumptions, and the data they base their assumptions on. Thanks!
Meanwhile on the "safe" mainland we've had more kids killed by another kid than this volcano has hurt in the past 25 years. But everybody in Hawaii has to "get out now". Where they gonna go - Santa Fe, Texas? Parkland maybe? But let's get condescending about Hawaii.
LardGreystoke
Hawaii has its killings too. People on the main land just don't hear about them. There is a lot of looting going on too. It's kept quiet to protect tourism.
As far as where are they going to go? There's no safe place on this planet. They just have to try and find a decent place to go.
And please, LardGreystoke, let's not even mention Chicago lol
Thank you for not putting a name in the middle so we can actually watch it. So incredible.
I am wondering, lava keep piles up
on the ground, then what happen
under the ground? is there somewhere empty space under
the ground?
I see a lot of cracks on the street ,
if, we make some kind holes side
of the street ? haha
Excellent video.
I don't feel good about this at all. I feel like I'm waiting for the "big one". Can you make a plan?
jrae all gay men are waiting for the big one
All heterosexual women too! lol good luck with that! lol we did need to lighten up right?!
Nature takes protective measures balancing out profit gained by Trump"s last capers and thus not allowing USA to destroy the world.
Seriously, you bring Trump into this? lol
I have a question, what was the floor elevation inside the creator before the recent eruption and what is it now? also do you have an estimate of the volume that was lost?
What is the significance of the fissures opening in a straight line?
Hawaii, IS the TOP of a volcano.
Prayers for Hawaii.
LOL! seriously?! This entire ordeal just proves your little book wrong. Don't ever spit in the face of nature, this is what happens when you do.
DJ Deckard Cain lol seriously, these folks have ample time to leave. Any deaths should be outright stupidity. Things can be replaced, and if you can afford to live in Hawaii, your probably 100% insured.
Gaea i don't know who you are talking too, but I'm not trying to be rude or start an argument. I just want to send my thoughts and prayers to them. And I'm not Atheist.
DJ Deckard Cain I'm not Christian, and I'm not stating my religious views.
Z Riley, your comment about being able to afford to live in Hawaii, therefore all here would be 100% insured, is just simply wrong. There are many who live in Hawaii who are most definitely NOT wealthy. Also, in the case of an entire home being lost to lava, NO insurance ever covers *everything*. If you've ever been through, or known someone who has been through something this serious and complete, you would know that to even receive any sort of recompense from an insurance company, the claimant must first list *every* thing they lost, give when it was purchased or received, what the item's value was initially, and after being used for a length of time.. all of this must be listed out in the manner specified by the insurance company. Almost always if a house is covered, not everything in it is listed specifically. In other words the person claiming must figure out depreciation for everything they claim to have lost. It's really a very rough thing to have to go through, especially since often there are items gotten from family members who are no longer alive. It can easily take 6 months before they receive significant money from the insurance company. Please remember that the insurance companies don't really want to part with any more money than they're forced to.
LOL, "let me google that for you"
It's like any script from any disaster movie / mixed with a comedy that the only information is everything is open,nothing to see here ,come with your family,see the lava spatter ,see the boulders fly thru the air ,play what's that poisonous gas,and as a further bonus the phone conference fiasco with every question met with awkward silence then a answer of we don't have that information,we haven't been up there today , you can find the answer on our website.
Of interest is the sudden release of the Hilina slump, with a long line of vents transverse the slip face, and the possibility of explosion from the geo-power facility. What's the deep news?
You're looking for conspiracies from geologists? Science is about shedding light, not hiding facts. Please, give yourself the gift of embracing reason over confirmation bias en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias

Merely inviting notice of pertinent lines of inquiry. Where has the lava from the main tube gone? What conditions prompt the slow slip to a rapid slip? How much in trouble is the geo-thermal station? How helpful to safety is ignoring these questions? Perhaps a uniformitarian bias.
Thank you. It is May 2018. I am glad to have been led to this film. I see Pele dancing on the 19.5 latitude, the sacred geometry vortex of Mother Earth. I have asked about the dropping of the rocky skirt Hilina into the ocean. Though it has happened before, and the debris is seen under the waves, at the foot of the seamont, white man science does not listen to the long cycles of ages. I do not want the string of 21 fissures to part the skirt from the land. My Bebes live all around the ring of fire. I respect the Huna and love the Mother. I invite all to dance the hula of the sacred rays of archangels of the One infinite creator. I ask the star families to alleviate catastrophe as all human awaken to remember each who they are, today, in this shift of ages. Aloha! Welcome home, children of the One!
Praying
Why can't we have the tune"Sweet Leilani" played as background music while we are watching lava flows. It is very soothing and has pleasant lyrics.
I dunno whats worse. Dealing with the ash fall and heavy/thick vog this past week or reading some of these comments...
Why is it spewing lava from fissures instead of blowing up at the main volcano?
Lava Tubes.
Under Hawaii , there is a Chamber that holds a very large Flume mass , And Hawaii is Moving Constantly , So The Fisher is the Line of least resistant , a Fisher is a Crack in the ground that Opens a New Path for the Lava to Flow , , So it Did release the Most Major Pressure At Lava Lake ( Miss Conception that the lake is Center of Valcano , and The Lake Is Just a Weak spot=Path of Least resistance =Fisher= New Flows of lava releasing pressure = Dropping the Core Thusly= No Major eruption at the Lake -?- YET
silverss onyoutube path of least resistance,
but I do believe it is 100% connected to Yellow Stone,
Follow The Yellow Brick Rd...
It was where the moon blooped from... As the surface layers/plates/Organic magic
carpets drifted back, (though do to varying viscosities/thicknesses/minerals/etc, sediment/clay/water/etc.)
The point of origin continues to roll forward.... I would guess, it runs deeper than the Mariana Trench. ⭐️😽💋
They call it "The Rift Zone" for a reason... The channeling and eruption of lava from underground conduits is expected, and directions of flow are predictable.
Niceguy019 Thanks! Very clear comprehensive answer.
Now here's my version of doomsaying. If all the energy that has up to now fed the lava lake at the summit now is funnelled downrift, we may look at a loooooong episode.
And much more real estate covered by new lava.

Would anyone go to Indonesia after the tsunami? Well then!?
Reminds me of that quote from British investigative journalist John Pilger “don’t believe anything until your government denies it”
Almost looks like Fractals from the air!
wow, this is crazy
Why not use drones to gather lava flow samples. With the remote observation that can be rigged onto a remote drone a user could safely retrieve samples while only risking a remote device rather than a human.
Kenneth Munk I think they would melt before being able to collect a lava sample
The fact is these "experts" don't know how active this eruption is going to be or how long it will last, all they have are previous eruptions in which they can compare their data with, however just because it is similar to the eruption in 1955 doesn't mean it will be exactly the same. As for catastrophic subsidence, again they are derelict in their duty to offhandedly dismiss this as never happening before because it has happened in the islands history. People may find it comforting to move into normalcy bias and say "well that was tens of thousands of years ago" but the fact is none of those experts know the longer eruption cycles of these volcanoes or that this eruption is part of a longer cycle of activity. Anybody living on this island should have the mentality "prepare for the worst and hope for the best" or you can just put your complete faith in government experts, personally I never leave my safety or the safety of my family to anybody but myself.
Brace for wave
Hilna Slump is now being insinuated as fantasy. The Q&A round robin refers to the USGS web site. Lastly the considerations on Lava sampling just needs a Titanium shelled AI made such for activities. Boiler operators know exactly who big to expect explosions when Super Hot meets various lower level temps. This can easily create a locomotive effect, in calculating explosion versus force equals level of movement. Hilna Slump is a total reality. Underwater landslides should be monitored by buoyies right now if they can think that far ahead.
A rumour that the USGS HVO even wrote on in it February, has happened before, and could happen again. It was funny how they didn't give a straight answer so first.
Keep in mind the government wasn't going to say anything to the people of Pripyat about Chernobyl either.
lots of prayer and for their safty
I just hope the Hawaiian people own this new land and not the goverment. Sorry to all who lost their homes. Maybe someday they can have a farm.
That guy about the shearing is a bald faced lie! There are numerous examples on the sea bottom proven by sonar off the coast.
@13 minutes the rude lady asking questions seems rude as hell when she is told to ask one question and they will circle around to let her ask a second question...people need to understand these folks are doing what they can... they do not woe you anything so be thankful they are taking time to answer question at all
Prayers and love sending to everyone in Hawaii sending to God our Lord to stay safe 😇👼💞🙏💞💖💕💖💞💕💞🌺🏝🌺 People not going to Hawaii til this is over!!!! Only ones that will go is to help, studying and news.🌋🎥📽 Money shouldn't be important life should!!!!!!
Not likely.
USGS doesn't seem to have it together....most of speakers not even on site....oh but they sure want you know parts of this park is reopened.....ARE YOU KIDDING ME!! Gee how can I get a position with USGS!!!
Do you have a grade in idiocy? It could help you for a job application
People need to get out .your playing with your lives if you don't get out when you can
Jeraldine Lewis shaddup.
It's like the "experts" in the Twin Towers telling people to stay in their offices...but those who listened to common sense had a window of time to escape and lived.. your choice..😣
Karen Dixon this can’t be a serious comment
my question, ..what is the best beer to drink while watching lava videos?
Old Rasputin Beer.
The cold one.
slimeronio pilsner urquell - well chilled
Kona red or lava man ale! Drink up and stay thirsty my friends
Cold beer!
Good idea. Everyone hang around waving WMD gas meters and see what happens. Seen a lot of those types on youtube these days.
at 12:30 those rocks look clean!? like they were put there, just saying it's just what it looks like. Little anger there from their end....The rest of the report is just weird....
Thank you for debunking the “biblical” hysteria because it’s not biblical, it’s just normal for Hawaii. We need to have a separation of church and volcano. A Yellowstone eruption though might qualify as biblical but not the Kilauea system. Good job everybody and USGS for reaching out to the people, this is what the internet is all about.
World Coming Down 5778 , the world is not coming down and earthquakes and volcanos happen every year, every where on the planet. The problem with American Christianity is that its end times theology emerged out of isolation from its own history and the outside world. There have been major eruptions in the past that dwarf what’s going on in Hawaii - Lakigar fissure in Iceland, Toba, Tambora, and Krakatoa in Indonesia, and Yellowstone in America. The Siberian traps and there are 6 known supervolcanos around the world.
In order for volcanic or seismic activity to be a sign it would have to be unusual in some way, it would have to show some signs of abnormality where people said hey this isn’t natural. That’s not happening. Nothing going on elsewhere either. If your interested there is an app called ‘Quake Feed’ that will show you all earthquakes around the world from 1.0 to 9.0. And you can see what goes on everyday on a living planet.
I’m not anti religion, I read the Bible, but there is a history of apocalyptic hysteria dating back 1900 years and rising and falling with various dates and natural disasters. Imagine living in England in the year 1666, people were losing their minds.
The truth will be revealed soon. If you think that this volcanic activity is what Christians are pointing out, you must live under a rock. These things are happening all over the world. This one just happens to be in our backyard. You mentioned Yellowstone, you know it's showing new signs of activity right?? By your own words, an eruption of biblical proportion can happen at any moment, and you choose now as a time to mock Christians?
There is no such thing as "end times", only people deciding to willingly saturate their brains with conspiracy theories. The same science that allows you to comment on this video is the same science these expert scientists use to provide accurate information on Kīlauea.
Bold Guardian , listen I hate to be the bearer of bad news but geological activity did not begin with the discovery of America or new scientific instruments. What’s new depends on how far back our records go. Yellowstone will blow within the next 10,000 years because that’s what we know by record. The New Madrid fault will pop in about 200 years. The JuanDeFuca fault will snap at anytime. The 9.0 that hit Japan actually occurs every 1,000 years. Its not the end of the world.
If you want to convince people of the worlds end then you must provide real evidence of something unusual, something that is Para normal or Supra natural. Geological activity on a living planet is natural, its normal.
Please read up on confirmation bias: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias
Well holy shittles and bits
the ocean floor near the Hilina Slump is covered with debris for previous slumps in the past. So how can your so call expert say what he said?
Coors light
That was so sad... overall I looking to you not the drama news. But that was just wrong!. Where I am I not too worried but...... I think the news is not known what will be... o sorry I don't know so how can you, thank you for your work
Promoting visits to the park is like asking people to get on rides in an amusement park that's on fire. in the past - every 100k years - there have been tsunamis generated by volcanoes collapsing after eruptions that devastated most of the Hawaiian Islands and reached No. America. Hope it doesn't happen this time, but it could. Why isn't govt. sending ships to evacuate more people there? IMO nowhere on those islands is safe.
As I listen to this whole video this is just ridiculous. The cracks in the road are passable. Why in the hell would you cross a road that has cracks in it? At any given time they could collapse. Great idea. Just like the metal plates over cracks to patch the road. Metal plates over hot earth. People are smart.
Where I live we have what are called "potholes". I drove over one in the dark once and it broke my rim. And we have metal plates too. Not all roads are perfect. Not even in paradise.
LardGreystoke Yes I know what a pothole is, but when the earth is literally tearing the highway apart probably not the best idea to cross even with a metal plate as a "patch". Metal plates are used everywhere to cover potholes. Really shouldn't be used in an event where the road has been ripped apart by the earth moving. That can't possibly end well.
Most of the cracking has not developed into fissures. There are still people that need to get into and out of the area, emergency crews, media, residents recovering stuff from their homes. That is legitimate information for people in the area.
Devbo Slice Yeah that's constructive. Been married more years than women you've slept with.
@BigIslandVideoNews , Might Wanna think about gettting Outta there , Dont ya think , What happens to a Supper Valcano when is Looses Mass in its core , and slowly returns , Hope "" Mother """ Isnt Angry , , , ?????
I guess the only danger, besides hurting tourism, from this “non event” is the “experts” boring us to death by answering these unimportant questions that are being ask. Either they don’t have a clue or they’re not telling us anything helpful.
Arm chair volcanologists and UA-cam videos surely know better.
Kathie gillaspie now if they outright came out and said the truth, that the helina slump could slide and cause a mega tsunami, no matter of fact they act as if its lunacy. When it's known fact( I mean look a Google for fucks sake) that it shifts every two years, and low and behold it's due to shift any day now, but it's just a mere coincidence that all this ramped up volcanic activity is happening around the time of a shift, weakening the earth around the site and the say its nothing to worry about, but I guess they downplay it to avoid panicking the local population
BURN TIKI BURN!!! BURN TIKI BURN!!!
Stop playing around with electromagnetic frequencies and radio antennas... They are bringing out the desired effect they want right under the public's nose
Volcanoes are driven by the gas beneath them. The gas accumulates over time. Saint Helens spent 100 years dormant. There was 100 years worth of magma dissolved gas beneath the mountain. The eruption was very violent. Kilauea erupts often. So, The gas accumulation is small. With less gas dissolved in the magma, the explosive force is much smaller. Think of a pop can when it is shaken and opened. That is how volcanoes work. More time, more magma dissolved gas, more explosive power. It is very good that Kilauea erupts so often. It is then much less violent.
FUCK YES, SPEW MORE LAVA AND CONSUME MORE!!! YES!!!
sick
i know, isn't it fucking amazing?
Just watched a Lava River while your helicopters flew overhead and one huge fissure going off for a long time!
ua-cam.com/video/SEcLitBiGhY/v-deo.html
He puts a watermark over the video part of the way in, just skip ahead. He took it off because so many people complained! Start up at the beginning. Towards the end, some people came by to visit and they kept stepping in front of the camera.
It seems like hell come up on earth. Kilauea Volcano is a big gates of hell
Hell is a human construct, but if we're to class magma, lava and sulfur dioxide as hell, than basically we live on the crust of cool rock on top of a sphere of hell. Hell (or heaven) is where the heart is ;)
13:10 Lazy reporters are so annoying. She's fired.
They sure ask a bunch of just plain stupid questions..damn don't anyone use common sense anymore?
Hilarious reading the influx of keyboard geologist, fear mongers and religious nut jobs comments.
slsrifle. And what pray tell are you?
Dee B
A Hawaii resident who understands what our volcanoes are capable of, who and what is being effected, what is being done, what can be done and trust the scientists at HVO and the USGS to know what they are talking about more than naysayers on the internet.
Nick Holloway
Any day now? Really? Nevermind that lava fissures are not anything new in Lower Puna. Long long ago lava fissures erupted in the same general area and yet no huge landslide. Nevermind that lava eruptions have been ongoing for over 30 years at Pu’u Oo, which is closer to Hilina Slump and yet nothing happened.
Man these people are vague. Can we please come to a consensus that this thing has a mind of its own. It's not like a cold front where you can predict to an extent. These people use real time data and compare them to past data. We are in 2018 and have no better way to measure this? The slump isn't explained very well just said go check the website kinda laughed off. Just because it hasn't happened before doesn't mean it won't happen. Crazier things have happened before and as far as I'm concerned playing chicken with this is not a good thing to do especially with people's lives at stake. People on the opposite side of the island have told me this is the worse air quality they have seen in well over 25 years. Very downplayed and very condescending attitudes from these people.
Jacob Hammond
It has happened before and may be happening again. Look at how the vents or fissures are opening in a straight line - sort of like cutting on the dotted line. There are a lot of underground explosions and look at all the cracking going on. The cracks are getting wider and deeper. And what is going to happen when the ocean water meets up with the lava in the fissures or the volcano itself? I believe the water may be the trigger that starts or continues the separation of the Hilina Slump.
Sylvia Jean Adams I agree with you 100% They have no way of knowing but just assuming it won't isn't the right approach. Nobody taught them prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
Very accurate and calm people on the call. Gives me confidence. Hysteria I can get from the Web.
Jacob Hammond I totally agree!
Jacob Hammond - I met a retired guy the other day (mainland usa) who is moving... 10 miles from the volcano. 😨😨😨😨😨😨
How do they know the whole island wont blow.......like krakatau. ?
That first massive explotion
Looks like it is slipping into the sea more and more every day
You're projecting. The scientists would warn us if this were a danger.
g s--And you can say that for certainty because you're a geologist and have access to all the GPS and satellite data, right? Jackass.
Uluwehi Knecht the scientists don’t know all that is going on underground. If they did, they would have said not to build houses on top of a fissure zone.
Everyone please shut up about the Hilina Slump. Please shut up about "they knew the risks". Please shut the hell up about politics.
What are you doing?
Neither did Mt. Saint Helen's have a Catastrophic failure?
If you listen to the audio you will hear scientists explicitly warn AGAINST comparing the two volcanoes. Apples and oranges.
It's weird they have to rely on test before they can say anything..
When it's plain to see if you watch the live feeds the lava is different.
They test the lava for its composition to understand where in the ground it originated. Science requires data; seeing isn't always believing, especially when we're talking about things under the ground!
funny "no evidence that this is shearing away" , video shows a elevation shear of a road . . ...
Shearing is a geological term that usually specifically refers to movement along fault lines. For efficiency and accuracy, scientist rely on precise terminology that doesn't usually equate with colloquial uses of the same words; this is why science journalists write articles to translate jargon into common parlance so everyone who aren't specialists can understand. The ground is splitting because of magma intrusion, nothing more.
It's been my experience folks that no matter how much we tell those ppl on that island how much danger they are in or how bad it really truly is, they will call us fear mongers and liars and tell us to mind our own business. They don't believe it's going to get much worse yet all of us KNOW IT'S JUST BEGINNING... ALL WE CAN DO FOR THEM IS PRAY FOR THEM SINCE THEY DON'T WANT ANYTHING ELSE FROM US EXCEPT MONEY AND SUPPLIES
SKY WARRIOR. They are not worth any of the three! If all they want to do. Is behave like people who lay down and die!
Aries Might I understand that it's their home and all, but if I had to choose my life and the lives of my family over my home, I'd be gone in a heartbeat. You can replace a home and the material things in it, but you can't replace a life.. Especially a child's life... Give them a chance to live and be the next generation to carry on the stories and traditions of the family and ancestors
SKY WARRIOR
That’s right, and yet you keep up the fear munger routine.
No one has died because they are listening to the real experts, the volcanologists, and not some person on the internet like you.
SKY WARRIOR, you better get running, because no place on Earth is safe. When it's your time it's your time and no matter where you are it will get you. So run scared, and keep running.
Raymond Diaz nah, I'm disabled.. I'm SOL... All I can do is Adapt and Overcome... For the most part, I'm in a safe zone...
Let's not care who dies. Making $ from tourists is far more important...
God showing us hell something a lot of people going to be going to pretty soon scary
god...😦 more like pele.. You are obviously not an Hawaiian
jfsfrnd. He'll is the common grave of mankind. Jesus was in hell for parts of 3 days. Humans will be resurrected from hell, which again is the grave. Religions have used torment in hell fire to scare people. Rev 20: 13- 15 Some translations use the word hell and some use Hades. One and the same. Hades is the Greek word for hell. Hell will release those held captive. According to scripture the resurrection of the dead will take place on EARTH.
This is Krakatoa all over again. These people are in denial.
Krakatoa was a totally different volcano. The whole island was effected. The Hilina slump is only like an very small part of the island. It doesn't mean it would affect a lot of people should it happen. They know it's happened before. They claim they're keeping an eye on this movement, but it's nature and no one really knows why volcano's have a mind of their own. They don't want panic. People where warned to evacuate the Mt. St. Helen's areas. Some did heed the warning, some did not.
BS
For the BILLIONTH time: Kīlauea volcano is a *shield volcano*, which is incredibly different and far, far less dangerous than a pyroclastic volcano such as Krakatoa.
Yeah right. Because Lava flowing over a quite limited area is the same phenomenon as a whole island exploding.
Cameltoa?
------- Talking is not a standard routine of mine but let me tell you one more time Why have you not sent down some Lava Divers to scope out the pacific routes that this Lava is taking. Get with the program. Isn't there any lava divers anymore? I did say once that the entire area would have to be evacuated anyway but no one ever listens.
Get those ppl out if there for God's sake!!!!
Maybe they don't want to leave or be evacuated, no one wants to leave his or her home.
It's already been evacuated, weeks ago
Scripted questions with scripted answers.
Very scary!
If these were scripted answers, they would have sounded far more polished and less awkward. Some scientists are awkward people, stop making unfair assumptions and projecting en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_projection
Its all about the bottom dollar!!
What on earth does a volcanic eruption have to do with capitalism?
Its in relation to not telling the whole truth on the possible outcomes. Nothing more, nothing less. Of course business comes before tax payers! Money makes the wheels turn, we are mere beasts of burden.
bad attitude = USBS
What is it about working for USGS that requires you to be a condescending jerk, I think you’re taking yourselves a way to seriously, just answer all the questions. Disappointing people in charge all sound like a bunch of 18-year-old baby millennial’s. I’m sure they all probably think they should be running the entire USGS And wondering why their genius has been overlooked. Oh yeah please more up talk it makes you sound like you know what you’re talking about.
ok the guy talking at 7:00 is absolutely WRONG! wtf did he fail geology of the Hawaii islands? shit man, that is how the islands erode into what they are today, pieces of them break off from time to time and slide down the slope, well documented. not often but enough to shape the island chain. at some point in time that section will break off right on the fissure line, maybe not this event but be sure some time in the future it will break off, its what the geological record show. why the hell he is saying this i could not guess, political pressure maybe? anyone who can type into google or read a geological history book on Hawaii can learn the truth. Pieces do break off and slide down the slope of the volcano that rises from the ocean floor its well documented occurrence in the history of the Hawaii island. I am by NO means saying its going to during this event as i have stated but it will one day for sure.
EDIT EDIT, ok i re-listened to him what he said is Kilauea has never broken off a chunk, this is TRUE, because its a NEW volcano (relatively) to the other islands age. Kilauea is young in the island chain. so maybe it has not aged enough to break off a chunk, it will though, but if you listen he is only talking about Kilauea, not the other island volcanos. My bad. IF this section does it will be the first time Kilauea has broken off a chunk of land. sorry.
Catastrophic landslides are indeed a part of the geological history of the Hawaiian islands (and many other volcanic islands) however, they happen on parts of the islands that are much older. Kīlauea is the newest section of the archipelago, and the scientist is just providing facts that there have not been any catastrophic landslides in the history of this particular volcano. Remember that the island of Hawai'i (aka BIg Island) is made of multiple volcanoes (all older than Kīlauea). Your misunderstanding here is understandable as the scientist who spoke did not proactively explain this, but in fairness, most scientists aren't the best communicators and this is why scientific journalism is so important. This audio is not polished journalism.
The entire island will explode. I can feel a major catastrophe afoot. We all screwed. Btw Hawaii is in the middle of the ring of fire and it’s the bullseye. Anything can happen.
Romans 10:9-11
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
