You are cataloguing one of the most momentous events in living memory and dodging Local Authorities to do it. Yet, locking yourself out of your house is an 'adventure'? Man! I wish I had your outlook on life. Keep up the good work, mate. You've got my vote for a Pulitzer Prize.
Someday, the children of Hawai'i will hear bedtime stories of the Legendary Leilani Ninja, his handy Go-Pro, Brave Goliath, and lntrepid Griffin- how he faced down the wrath of Big Daddy, spoke truth to power and spread beauty for all to see across the World! 🌎
I live around a lot of rivers, some larger then others and I have seen them gushing; like in winter, or in the mountains when they gush over rocks, or towards waterfalls. And spread out over gravel beds where the river separates, creating an island of gravel and coming back together again like this lava river is doing. It is so strange to watch a river made of molten rock just gushing along endlessly like a river of water. Absolutely awesome, amazing, and astounding!
I find myself thinking, “Run, Scott, run - don’t get caught!!”. It certainly adds to the excitement.... Great work getting up early and giving us your down to earth comments and great videos! I cannot believe how fast it’s moving. Big thanks from Canada!
Thanks for the laugh! climbing threw a window should be fun! oh! and that heat wave you receive, probably came from all of us sending you a Hug! namaste
Scott, I just have to check with your report regularly. To hear a human voice showing us as it happens makes the films so much more personal. I feel I'm almost there beside you. Please keep reporting, you'll be missed when it eventually stops. Thank You.
Thanks for the update. It's the height of bureaucratic stupidity that the locals are denied this viewpoint as long as they stay off private property. These videos could help stimulate future tourism to the island. People who are fascinated by natural phenomena are going to be drawn to these videos and later on to the Big Island. You offer a perspective that is lacking in the USA reports and the little snippets of the event that the short attention span news media provides.
KELLI2L2 I fully agree and anyone who's watched these daily volcanoe videos knows what a unique perspective that Scott and one or two others are providing. The local governmen staff should offer a limited number of permits for local youtubers to go into the restricted areas.
The red sky is when the lava has to flow over a rise underneath, as it makes a separation of the "skin" of lava. When the slower/deeper section allows cooling to develop a "skin". Thanks for the videos.
Hi Scott! Watching from Manassas, Virginia. Everything is sooo beautiful and surreal! Love the morning sky colors with the lava and red clouds! Just Wow!!! Thanks for all your videos Scott 😊- I love listening and watching and I really appreciate and enjoy your excitement when you discover new things!! Please be safe as you adventure out!
Meant to post this yesterday but the comment section appeared to be down. Coding error I assume. You are absolutely ridiculous, but we love it! ;P As for not being able to hear the fissure from your house, there is every possibility that the back side of the cinder cone is blocking the soundwaves and directing/reflecting them away from your home location. I live about 10-15 miles from Pittsburgh International Airport, and I can tell you from experience, that sound waves can do all sorts of weird stuff. We live directly under a landing pattern, and you can hear the planes quite well as they fly over. But when they turn and approach the runways, their engines can be pointed this way, and the sound directed up the river and creek valleys, and almost amplified. Over head you hear the buzzing as they go over, but as they land, sometimes this heavy, roaring booming can reverberate through the valleys, and the planes can be even louder 10 miles away, as opposed to when they were flying directly overhead. Another good example is the explosion of Mt. St. Helens in 1980. People within 50 miles of the mountain watched it blow itself apart in total silence, while people 50 miles or more away could hear it quite well. It all has to do with the direction of the sound waves and what may be in their way to refect or dampen them. My guess, again, is that the open part of the cinder cone of Big Daddy Number 8 is facing away from your house, therefor, the sound is directed and reflected away from your home.
The sound waves are traveling over your head to you house which is above lava dike. Where you were filming from is getting sound waves deflected down off clouds and air molecules. Your house gets the direct sound waves.
I LOVE closeups Scott! GREATJOB! Sorry bout locking urself out of ur house! :-( I locked myself out of my van last week at my doctor's office...costed me $85 for the guy to spend 5 minutes opening my door. Talk about HIGHWAY ROBBERY! I deeply appreciate your efforts in providing up to date reports on 8. I've been pretty upset with the USGS, Military Update, US Defense Forces, and other youtubers who clickbate us with words like "up to date," "update," and "Latest News," etc. then show old footage we've seen from weeks ago. STAY SAFE!
Apparently you got back into the house, since you uploaded (unless you went to a local Starbucks to do so!). Mahalo again for the update, Scott. My husband and daughter say there's some kind of metaphor in why I'm so 'obsessed' with this, but I think it's just sadness for a beautiful place I remember so well being destroyed. Pele is a harsh mistress.
Magnificent view. I hope you aren't subjected to law enforcement over this. Thanks for doing is for the world. I regret people have lost their homes due to this.
In my neck of the woods, that would sound like white water or being in close quarters with a smallish waterfalls--say 150'. Yikes. Thanks for seemingly not sleeping and capturing these moments for us!
Hi Scott! That river is so cool to watch! It's really flowing fast, and Big Daddy is spouting so high... still!! Just amazing! Thanks for venturing out there! Stay stealthy to those 'predators', so to say, coming by. We don't want that kind of adventure happening, if you know what I mean. But you're always cool about things. The river looks like it has sparkling diamonds along it. Wow, for something so intense and destructive, it sure has its awesome beauty. Oh, those poor people whom this stuff has ruined their homes. I feel so sad for them. I do pray they're doing ok, as far as ok can be in this situation. Scott, if you ever run into any of these people, please let them know that people far and wide, including our community here, are thinking of them and hoping they're doing ok despite their losses. Thanks again, friend, for sharing your world during all of this. Even though I'm not there physically, it still puts a lot of things into perspective. Your videos, chats, and overall company with us is deeply appreciated. Keep up your good works. Can't wait to go on another field trip with you! Take care! ~ Barb in PA :-)
Scott, don't worry about the focus, or who likes or dislikes zooming in or out. You're the one with your boots on the ground while the armchair critics sit in front of their screens suggesting how to become the next Speilberg. Putting up great videos so consistently every day can't be easy, so do them however you want! :) Mahalo!
Scott, the reason it's louder at your house vs. up close is because of how sound travels, and partly due to the doppler effect. When Mount St. Helens erupted in 1980, there was a 35-mile-radius "cone of silence" around the peak in which nobody heard a thing - not even the survivors who were plucked away from the devastation. However, in areas of Washington state like Tacoma, Seattle, (most of the Puget Sound region) and places further north up into Canada and as far south as central Oregon and northern California, people were hearing sonic booms all day long.
Absolutely incredible...makes you wonder if this will ever end. Mahalo for your continued spectacular videos. I truly believed the flow was slowing down....but we’ll keep watching Scott..
That's some raging river,mesmerizing and terrifying too,this thing could go on for years,could someday turn into the most spectacular tourist destination if deemed safe enough,thanks Scott for taking us along,stay safe
Your videos are simply amazing. Selfishly, I am still enthralled with your updates of this ongoing seismic event. Blessings and good will for all of you who are recovering from this eruption. Personally, I can't even imagine. Trusting that all is working out the way it needs to. Namaste p.s. hope you didn't get 'stopped' trying to get back into your home.
it's scary that your that close to fissure 8. Also be careful not to get into trouble trying to get videos. That lava is just racing, it's crazy. Thank you for the chances that your taking. Much appreciation and respect.
locking yourself out is worth a point! Good to hear your voice. marvelous filming and always is. l can't get over how much viewing you are providing. ((TC))
Scott, Good morning. Just watched this mornings vid. It is all still so amazing to me. I hope you are taking good care of yourself. Being under constant stress can take a tole on one physically, spiritually, mentally and socially. I know, so please take some time for yourself. Nobody knows how long this will last or what will happen so time your race.
In theory he technically doesn't need them. In fact, in all 50 states a press pass really isn't needed. A couple SCOTUS decisions in the last two decades have affirmed citizen journalism is a protected right under the 1st Amendment. I own a photography business and one of my pieces of gear is a Sony broadcast ENG camera (the big giant types carried by television camera operators). Since I'm not employed by a TV station, I don't carry around a press pass, only business cards stating my name and the name of my business.
Thanks for the post! Saw the lava fountain yesterday evening landing in Hilo, this was very very impressive. I mean, seeing it from that far. Will work today to get the permit to get in and review our Pomaikai land and visit family. Hopefully we'll have a chance to meet you at some point. Will email you, if ever you have time ;) Aloha, and mahalo for the video again.
Thanks Scott for the updates. The pressure on the levee increases with the flow pressure. I hope the outbreaks on the stream stay small. It was funny but those sounds I thought where birds. But you said they were Frogs. The lava river support system (levees) must be a good heat insulator to keep that steam flowing for 8 miles. Here in the states in Louisiana on the southern coast it's like the Hurricane that will not go away. Dang 7 weeks now. But the Hurricane is not like this.
Mahalo for the lava river update today. I can't believe how much lava is coming out of there still. I hope when you had to leave really quick that you weren't getting in trouble. Look forward to your next update. Aloha for now.
Thank you Scott! Beautiful! Love the view of the lava river! Love the shots of the cloud breaks of the sunrise! Your passion and respect for this nature occurrence is reflected in your voice!
It's amazing to think that since the erruption the erruption started it has been a continuous flow. Truly amazing Mother Nature could keep it forever if she wants. Thanks for your efforts and commitment to the filming.
Omg. I was so worried the entire time!! It was like being there! If this video is up it means that everything went well. You are a NINJA❣️❣️❣️💕💖💕Thank you for this 😭🙏🏼💕💖💖💖
I like the zoom. I think the sound bounces off the cloud cover and makes it sound louder at your house. When we lived near Fort Knox the booming sound of the Tanks Live fire training was much louder at our house than it was on Post. I was told the sound bounced off the clouds and it seemed like they were right, because the booming was much louder on very cloudy days.
Yes, on occasion our windows did rattle. Oddly enough you got used to the booms and paid no attention to it until a particularly loud one shook the windows.
You say it's the same old thing but it's really different every moment. The colors are constantly changing, white, yellow orange, red and blending. Love it when you caught the plant in the frame of the fountain.
Why do I have a picture of you in my mind, crouching in the dark, then crawling through a window like a cat burglar?! I hope the window you used was adequate in size. It brings to mind an incident that happened to me when our kids were little. We were renting an old farmhouse at the time. Unbeknownst to us the bathroom door could be locked from the outside. My husband and I were both in the bathroom. He was shaving and I was getting dressed. We heard this loud click and when we tried the door we couldn't get out. Our four year old daughter had pushed a little button then she and her brother went laughing to the other end of the house. We yelled to no avail. We had an appointment we absolutely couldn't miss, but the only way out of the bathroom was a tiny little window over the claw-foot tub... Well you guessed it I was voted the one most likely to go out of it without getting stuck. We decided I should shed my dress and just wear my slip as I would have a better chance of making it. You should have seen me, not only did I get stuck part way through, when I got halfway out the window I found there was a drop off over six feet to the ground, because of the curve of the yard away from the back of the house. Once I got partly out of the window I found the only thing I could find to grab a hold of was an old blackened clay pipe that ran up the outside wall right next to the window. I grabbed it and pulled myself out the rest of the way, but because of the way the window had me pinned, I had to hang upside-down to do it. I dare say you get the picture! Well if that wasn't humiliating enough, the house sat in the middle of my father in-laws orchard. The window was in full view of his orchard worker's house, where a couple of them were out stacking firewood. They saw me coming out the window and just gaped! I decided the best thing to do was to put a brave face on it, so I just hopped down from the pipe, like I did it every day, nodded to them politely, and walked around the side of the house and into the front door. You should have seen their faces...It was priceless! LOL I always wondered what they said to their friends about seeing the bosses daughter in-law climbing out a window, in her slip, in the early morning hours, and then walking back into the house?! By the way that pipe turned me black from head to toe and I was bruised down my thighs for a week. I had to toss the slip. I did not spank my daughter either, (tho I may have felt like it), but my husband disassembled that button on the door as soon as he got out. Mahalo
Priceless! Thanks. I had the opposite experience. My 2 year-old daughter figured out how to lock the bathroom door, but could not unlock it. Panic was setting in, and I had to help her. The only access was via a narrow top section of the window, about 6 feet off the ground, and I became stuck trying to get in. The step ladder which I was standing on toppled, whilst I was trying to extricate myself, and I was left with my hips and legs dangling out of the window, head downwards into a washbasin, with a highly amused daughter laughing uproariously at her father, who was firmly wedged. I did escape somehow, and eventually barged the door to break the mercifully fragile lock. I had an impressive selection of bruises around my abdomen which caused my family great amusement for days, as the various colours of the rainbow developed. Needless to say, no lock was fitted to the bathroom door for several years after that incident.
Hi Scott! Big Daddy and The River is so impressive to see early morning. Hopefully you were able to get in your house without causing too much damage.... lol. Take care Scott!
Scott, I locked myself out of my old house once, but I did have my purse. So I pulled out a credit card and was able to slide it in and open the door! I never left the house without locking the deadbolt after that! Thanks for the great footage and enjoyable talk!
Here I thought the lava river was slowing down finally because the surface was looking darker, like it was cooling down. But the USGS said not at all, in fact they estimate it was doing 35 to 40 mph over the weekend. Back down to 14 or 15 mph this week.
You are cataloguing one of the most momentous events in living memory and dodging Local Authorities to do it. Yet, locking yourself out of your house is an 'adventure'?
Man! I wish I had your outlook on life.
Keep up the good work, mate. You've got my vote for a Pulitzer Prize.
That lava river is amazing. Never get tired of looking at it.
Someday, the children of Hawai'i will hear bedtime stories of the Legendary Leilani Ninja, his handy Go-Pro, Brave Goliath, and lntrepid Griffin- how he faced down the wrath of Big Daddy, spoke truth to power and spread beauty for all to see across the World! 🌎
Wildly beautiful! Never seen anything like this. Outstanding. Thank you!
I live around a lot of rivers, some larger then others and I have seen them gushing; like in winter, or in the mountains when they gush over rocks, or towards waterfalls. And spread out over gravel beds where the river separates, creating an island of gravel and coming back together again like this lava river is doing. It is so strange to watch a river made of molten rock just gushing along endlessly like a river of water. Absolutely awesome, amazing, and astounding!
I find myself thinking, “Run, Scott, run - don’t get caught!!”. It certainly adds to the excitement.... Great work getting up early and giving us your down to earth comments and great videos! I cannot believe how fast it’s moving. Big thanks from Canada!
Thanks for the laugh! climbing threw a window should be fun! oh! and that heat wave you receive, probably came from all of us sending you a Hug! namaste
I like the way you said "Media".. made me smile. You are the real news media to me. This is real. That's why I watch you and not them.
jack smack well said!
Scott, I just have to check with your report regularly. To hear a human voice showing us as it happens makes the films so much more personal. I feel I'm almost there beside you. Please keep reporting, you'll be missed when it eventually stops. Thank You.
Dave Wilson Hoping he keeps on sharing his unique view of Hawaii.
Thanks for the update.
It's the height of bureaucratic stupidity that the locals are denied this viewpoint as long as they stay off private property. These videos could help stimulate future tourism to the island. People who are fascinated by natural phenomena are going to be drawn to these videos and later on to the Big Island.

KELLI2L2 I fully agree and anyone who's watched these daily volcanoe videos knows what a unique perspective that Scott and one or two others are providing.
The local governmen staff should offer a limited number of permits for local youtubers to go into the restricted areas.
The red sky is when the lava has to flow over a rise underneath, as it makes a separation of the "skin" of lava. When the slower/deeper section allows cooling to develop a "skin".
Thanks for the videos.
It's tragic how many people have lost their homes. But, it's so beautifully mesmerizing.
The lava fish are jumping! Thanks for the zoom! Love the mix of blue sky and red clouds!
Hi Scott! Watching from Manassas, Virginia. Everything is sooo beautiful and surreal! Love the morning sky colors with the lava and red clouds! Just Wow!!!

Thank you Scott for your wonderful humanistic updates on an awesome natural event. Please keep filming and commenting daily.
The sound waves are traveling over your head to you house which is above lava dike. Where you were filming from is getting sound waves deflected down off clouds and air molecules. Your house gets the direct sound waves.
Rushing river, jumping lava fish, leaping with joy. Mad river hurrying, lit up as if with ten thousand taillights, all speeding together.
Another awesome video, Scott. Thanks for keeping us mainlanders up to date with the Big Island. No one else is reporting as well as you.
I LOVE closeups Scott! GREATJOB!

Oh I like the zoom also!!! It will eventually focus.
Magnificent view. I hope you aren't subjected to law enforcement over this. Thanks for doing is for the world. I regret people have lost their homes due to this.
It just amazes me that something so beautiful is so destructive
It is simply incredible at how fast and how much that cone has changed at Fissure 8. I am blown away by that.
In my neck of the woods, that would sound like white water or being in close quarters with a smallish waterfalls--say 150'. Yikes. Thanks for seemingly not sleeping and capturing these moments for us!
Nice video to see the lavaflow. Thank You Scott. Your Sunrisevids are also cool. You are my eveningentertaiment ;-)
I like the zoom. It's amazing how fast the lava moves.
Thanks for the update Scott. Always a pleasure to see your updates.
Hi Scott! That river is so cool to watch! It's really flowing fast, and Big Daddy is spouting so high... still!! Just amazing! Thanks for venturing out there!

Truly hope Nat'l Geographic and/or other operations buy use of your videos. You a real treasure with your persistent reporting. Thank You so much.
OMG Scott that is so beautiful but scary beyond belief. Love listening to you. Stay safe and no more close calls.
Thank you for this; awesome and terrific seen, but still beautiful!
The river is just rushing!!! Terrifying and beautiful!!!!
Pretty amazing....specially the speed of the lava flow. Like your video's stay safe. Shalom
Nice work, Scott! Thank you for keeping us all informed.
Just be thankful that it's moving into the ocean!
Great job Scott. Much appreciated as always!
Happy 6th Anniversary of your first tour with Tours by Locals Scott. Great videos...still watching.
Scott, don't worry about the focus, or who likes or dislikes zooming in or out. You're the one with your boots on the ground while the armchair critics sit in front of their screens suggesting how to become the next Speilberg. Putting up great videos so consistently every day can't be easy, so do them however you want! :) Mahalo!
Hey Scott! I actually enjoy the zooms, even when not perfectly zoomed, because we can see how fast it is moving!
Scott, the reason it's louder at your house vs. up close is because of how sound travels, and partly due to the doppler effect.
When Mount St. Helens erupted in 1980, there was a 35-mile-radius "cone of silence" around the peak in which nobody heard a thing - not even the survivors who were plucked away from the devastation.
However, in areas of Washington state like Tacoma, Seattle, (most of the Puget Sound region) and places further north up into Canada and as far south as central Oregon and northern California, people were hearing sonic booms all day long.
Time to put a plug in that thing. LOL Awesome videos Scott. The beauty and force of nature. Hope you were able to get inside your house.
Close up or normal, it is still awesome. Thank you for sharing with us.
Scott - you are unique 😀
Nobody reports on these events your way
Christine Dor I agree!
Christine Dor I have to have my lava fix by Scott every day🤪
Just incredible. Thanks Scott. Dave and I talked today and he’s following you as well 😊
Cool! Mahalo
Absolutely incredible...makes you wonder if this will ever end. Mahalo for your continued spectacular videos. I truly believed the flow was slowing down....but we’ll keep watching Scott..
That's some raging river,mesmerizing and terrifying too,this thing could go on for years,could someday turn into the most spectacular tourist destination if deemed safe enough,thanks Scott for taking us along,stay safe

Gotta love Scott and the sound of those frogs :) I am loving it! I wanted to come out... stealthy style. Oh well....
Thank Scott..stay safe...prayers up for all of you in HAWAII.
Pretty cool thanks for update can't believe it's still flowing so fast!! Aloha👍💛
Scott, Good morning. Just watched this mornings vid. It is all still so amazing to me. I hope you are taking good care of yourself. Being under constant stress can take a tole on one physically, spiritually, mentally and socially. I know, so please take some time for yourself. Nobody knows how long this will last or what will happen so time your race.
Why don't you apply for official media credentials? You have a big enough audience now.
In theory he technically doesn't need them. In fact, in all 50 states a press pass really isn't needed. A couple SCOTUS decisions in the last two decades have affirmed citizen journalism is a protected right under the 1st Amendment.

This is the first time I could actually hear the roar. Other locations are muted and I haven't been sure. Incredible.
Thanks for the post! Saw the lava fountain yesterday evening landing in Hilo, this was very very impressive. I mean, seeing it from that far. Will work today to get the permit to get in and review our Pomaikai land and visit family. Hopefully we'll have a chance to meet you at some point. Will email you, if ever you have time ;)
Aloha, and mahalo for the video again.
Fantastic video! Thanks for taking the time to update us. Personally, I like the zooms. The lava river is fascinating. Have a good day Scott!
we have all done that locked ourselves out lol and great video so intense to see that river of lave flowing madly.
Wow. I saw the fissure for the first time from 15 miles away the other night. Paani Ranch in Mountainview. That was close enough for me!
Another amazing video! Thank you so much for what you’re doing. Be careful out there!
This is truly memorizing. Could stare at it all day
Wow! Amazing footage Scott! It’s still mind blowing to see this still going off like it is.
Thanks Scott for the updates. The pressure on the levee increases with the flow pressure. I hope the outbreaks on the stream stay small. It was funny but those sounds I thought where birds. But you said they were Frogs. The lava river support system (levees) must be a good heat insulator to keep that steam flowing for 8 miles. Here in the states in Louisiana on the southern coast it's like the Hurricane that will not go away. Dang 7 weeks now. But the Hurricane is not like this.
I love how you know when we are complaining about focus issues. :D
Mahalo for the lava river update today. I can't believe how much lava is coming out of there still. I hope when you had to leave really quick that you weren't getting in trouble. Look forward to your next update. Aloha for now.
Are we now official lava chasers? Or at least lava viewers. Waiting for my bags and t. Mahalo for the beauty.
Please do not get in trouble for these images, as much as we appreciate them, we appreciate you not getting fined a lot more. Stay safe.
Is this the new GoPro you are using? Thank you to that viewer for such a helpful gift! We will all enjoy it :)
Beautiful, thanks Scott!
Incredible videos! Thank you.
Thank you Scott! Beautiful! Love the view of the lava river! Love the shots of the cloud breaks of the sunrise! Your passion and respect for this nature occurrence is reflected in your voice!
I like the zoom.
Wow amazing video history in the making
It's amazing to think that since the erruption the erruption started it has been a continuous flow. Truly amazing Mother Nature could keep it forever if she wants. Thanks for your efforts and commitment to the filming.
Please be careful bud, I don't want to see you in trouble. I appreciate everything your doing. Just dont want to see you with a huge fine ...
I gotta go! I'm back lol. Indeed a cat and mouse game. Great video. I definitely want to hear how getting in the house goes,and good luck with that.
Omg. I was so worried the entire time!! It was like being there! If this video is up it means that everything went well. You are a NINJA❣️❣️❣️💕💖💕Thank you for this 😭🙏🏼💕💖💖💖
Incidentally, I've heard in some of Charles' videos an "Aaa-loha" in a voice I've heard before. Trying to place it... ;-)
I like the zoom.
I think the sound bounces off the cloud cover and makes it sound louder at your house.
When we lived near Fort Knox the booming sound of the Tanks Live fire training was much louder at our house than it was on Post. I was told the sound bounced off the clouds and it seemed like they were right, because the booming was much louder on very cloudy days.
LadyInKY the Windows would even rattle.
Yes, on occasion our windows did rattle. Oddly enough you got used to the booms and paid no attention to it until a particularly loud one shook the windows.
Thank you for showing us the truth about what is happening there. Prayers sent from Tulsa, Oklahoma.
I really enjoy your site.
Wow! The go pro camera quality of the image is amazing. Now, I can see, all the billowing and colors your kept talking about. Holy cow.
Love your videos! Be safe!
Thanks Scott love love your amazing videos. 😍😍😍
Keep on zoomin'! It's very cool.
You say it's the same old thing but it's really different every moment. The colors are constantly changing, white, yellow orange, red and blending. Love it when you caught the plant in the frame of the fountain.
the speed of the lava is a never-ending amazing phenomenon.
Why do I have a picture of you in my mind, crouching in the dark, then crawling through a window like a cat burglar?! I hope the window you used was adequate in size. It brings to mind an incident that happened to me when our kids were little. We were renting an old farmhouse at the time. Unbeknownst to us the bathroom door could be locked from the outside. My husband and I were both in the bathroom. He was shaving and I was getting dressed. We heard this loud click and when we tried the door we couldn't get out. Our four year old daughter had pushed a little button then she and her brother went laughing to the other end of the house. We yelled to no avail. We had an appointment we absolutely couldn't miss, but the only way out of the bathroom was a tiny little window over the claw-foot tub... Well you guessed it I was voted the one most likely to go out of it without getting stuck. We decided I should shed my dress and just wear my slip as I would have a better chance of making it. You should have seen me, not only did I get stuck part way through, when I got halfway out the window I found there was a drop off over six feet to the ground, because of the curve of the yard away from the back of the house. Once I got partly out of the window I found the only thing I could find to grab a hold of was an old blackened clay pipe that ran up the outside wall right next to the window. I grabbed it and pulled myself out the rest of the way, but because of the way the window had me pinned, I had to hang upside-down to do it. I dare say you get the picture! Well if that wasn't humiliating enough, the house sat in the middle of my father in-laws orchard. The window was in full view of his orchard worker's house, where a couple of them were out stacking firewood. They saw me coming out the window and just gaped! I decided the best thing to do was to put a brave face on it, so I just hopped down from the pipe, like I did it every day, nodded to them politely, and walked around the side of the house and into the front door. You should have seen their faces...It was priceless! LOL I always wondered what they said to their friends about seeing the bosses daughter in-law climbing out a window, in her slip, in the early morning hours, and then walking back into the house?! By the way that pipe turned me black from head to toe and I was bruised down my thighs for a week. I had to toss the slip. I did not spank my daughter either, (tho I may have felt like it), but my husband disassembled that button on the door as soon as he got out. Mahalo
Priceless! Thanks. I had the opposite experience. My 2 year-old daughter figured out how to lock the bathroom door, but could not unlock it. Panic was setting in, and I had to help her. The only access was via a narrow top section of the window, about 6 feet off the ground, and I became stuck trying to get in. The step ladder which I was standing on toppled, whilst I was trying to extricate myself, and I was left with my hips and legs dangling out of the window, head downwards into a washbasin, with a highly amused daughter laughing uproariously at her father, who was firmly wedged. I did escape somehow, and eventually barged the door to break the mercifully fragile lock. I had an impressive selection of bruises around my abdomen which caused my family great amusement for days, as the various colours of the rainbow developed. Needless to say, no lock was fitted to the bathroom door for several years after that incident.
Hi Scott! Big Daddy and The River is so impressive to see early morning. Hopefully you were able to get in your house without causing too much damage.... lol. Take care Scott!
Deadly BUT Beautiful..... love the vids.. keep up the good work.. from nj
Scott, I locked myself out of my old house once, but I did have my purse. So I pulled out a credit card and was able to slide it in and open the door! I never left the house without locking the deadbolt after that! Thanks for the great footage and enjoyable talk!
Scott, you rebel you!🌋
Thanks Scott for more amazing video.
I am considering coming for holidays, these things fascinate me!!
Here I thought the lava river was slowing down finally because the surface was looking darker, like it was cooling down. But the USGS said not at all, in fact they estimate it was doing 35 to 40 mph over the weekend. Back down to 14 or 15 mph this week.
Thank you what a site to see!
The reason you hear the noise louder is because the cone protects you from the noise up close
