Lava had crossed the end of Hwy 130 at 9:30pm the night before. Soon after this video 3 trucks came from the left through the smoke next to the lava. They were almost trapped by the flow. See those photos here.

  • Wow that was all lava

  • @MultiRyanpoole It was the beginning of a huge flow that covered miles of land and took out a house in a matter of days. Wiped out a forest and a remote black sand beach too. If you look at my other methane flame video, it was during the night back further on the flow. The flames were 10' high and maybe 6' in diameter. The best campfire ever. One of 2 shot that week.

  • do you study volcanoes?

  • @bandbgamesroom Never academically but, I do have 20 years field experience at Kilauea volcano. Its a pretty basic volcano so, there's only so much to know. Lots of waiting to see what happens next. Most geologists and volcanologist would love to have experienced the lava flow activity I've witnessed over the years. You just can't beat boots on the ground field experience. I've also spent years hiking and studying old lava flows.

  • @lavapix that's accualy very interesting, i am subscribing cos your videos are awesome :)

  • @bandbgamesroom Thanks. Wish I had better video equipment but, photos were always my thing. I have lots more video from this past fall but, I need a new pc to process it all. Maybe in a month or so.

  • get a bucket and use the lava to cook beacon...

  • lol, it wasn't so much that he was close to the lava but, that he stuck his head nearly into it. I thought his hair was going to catch fire.
