Info from Licensor: "While in Leilani viewing the eruption, a kind man offered for us to use his backyard to 'get closer' to this fissure. After shooting for a few minutes, he mentioned that he had to leave and pick up his kid. He said he'd 'be back soon'. He said we could stay, and to just close the gate if we leave. Just a few short minutes after he left, these 3 weakly splattering cones started to get move active. A minute later there was lava shooting into the air and pumping out so fast. This is the last of the video. I turned and ran back to the car, where we raced off as the house we were at was close to being buried. The whole event went so fast, it still feels like it was all part of a dream. It seemed to us that that man would not be able to even see the house again, as it and the woods surrounding it, had fire spreading through them so quickly that we were worried about even being able to drive away."
