Best El Hierro Thread On GLP - Canary Islands - ACTIVITY HAS RETURNED - AGAIN!

IGN down again?

working for me. quiet at the moment, but there was some action between 5-6am

New pattern on #ElHierro ? Today 3 minior earthquakes M2+ closer to the island. Quite in this moment (08:30 UTC).

The Spanish island of El Hierro has begun to move to the east and part of it have risen 11 centimeters in height as a result of the recent seismic activity it has experienced, a local media report said on Saturday.

The quake, which took place off the west of the island with a population of just over 10,000 inhabitants, measured 4.7 on Richter scale and has had the effect of moving the island slightly to the east as a result of the pressure of magma building up under the earth's crust.

The marine geology commented yesterday that there does lurk the possibility of a landslide causing a Tsunami.


..La actividad sísmica continua en las inmediaciones de la isla, amenazando con posibles episodios volcánicos, a pesar de que la incertidumbre del evento es muy alta y no sabemos ni cuando ni donde podría presentarse. Mientras escribo estas lineas se comenta en los noticieros el terremoto de magnitud 4.9 que ha sucedido este medio dia y que ha sido sentido claramente por la población. Se produjo un importante desprendimiento de ladera con caida de bloques y material disgregado en las cercanías de Pozo Perejil. Uno de los efectos inmediatos de los terremotos son precisamente los deslizamientos de tierra tan abundantes en la isla de El Hierro. No se nos oculta el riesgo tsunamigénico que afecta a la isla, en caso de producirse un importante deslizamiento en las vertientes acantiladas que dan al mar y sobre los cuales ya hay modelos matemáticos avanzados..

..Continuous seismic activity in the vicinity of the island, threatening possible volcanic episodes, while the uncertainty of the event is very high and we don't even know when or where could arise. As I write these lines discussed in the news the earthquake of magnitude 4.9 that has occurred this noon and has been clearly felt by the population. There was an important detachment of slope with falling blocks and material disintegrated in the vicinity of Parsley well. One of the immediate effects of earthquakes are landslides so abundant in El Hierro island. Not hidden us risk tsunamigenico affecting the island, in the event of a major landslide in the steep slopes that already give the sea and about which there are advanced mathematical models...

that's worth a thread of it's own. start one, or do you want me to?

nice find btw

started one and credited you..

Thread: Tsunami threat at El Hierro confirmed by Spanish marine geology site

Thanks since this started from the beginning my fear has always been that a small Tsunami could be caused because of the volcanic activity in El Hierro and I have been ridiculed called a fearmonger and in a way called stupid and that it could never happen.

Well to date we have had a 4.9 and this thing is still getting stronger .

Surely its better to be forewarned because nobody even the scientist really know where this is all going to end !!!

Quite a cluster of 3's overnight and in the past few hours.
Very interesting to watch and read about this.
It would be interesting if they brought the cameras back again. I am assuming there is no 'stain' with the latest eruptions like there was last time.

You are right to be concerned. What path do you think it would follow if that did happen?
At least we are aware that it could happen. Can you imagine the panic if anything did go wrong. This has received very little publicity. There was a breaking news item the other evening on Sky on a smaller earthquake 100 miles off California but nothing on El Hierro. Must be for tourism reasons or maybe something else.

This is a simulation of what could happen (please note I am not saying it will).

It doesn't require a thread on it's own, everyone knows there is a tsunami risk for the Islands - which it says by the way, "tsunami risk for the island". Nothing about a mega tsunami, nothing about America, so the need for a thread on it's own would be?

That is a possible tsunami from La Palma, it has a different amount of material on it's island than El Hierro does so using that scenario is mindless. (not saying you are mindless btw unless it was you who made the video)

and apparently the water above Bob has heated up some 3 degrees since last december, and the pH is slightly more acidic

vitual standstill on tremors today?

one M2.5 quake SW FRONTERA only 2Km deep [link to www.ign.es]

That is quite close in distance to the 2.2 at 11km earlier today at 13:34 perhaps it has found an upward path. Probably wishfull thinking though. It would be handy for the El Hierrans to have a subaquatic eruption in that area.

Oh how funny you think you are, you know exactly what the post meant. A few of you (or perhaps one on a pxy) keep pushing the mega tsunami theory, you know damn well that is what the 'tsunami' quoted post was aiming at.
I see the thread set up to fearmonger with was a big hit, you don't realise what fools you look.

looks like the bimbo from yesterday who didnt like the thread- and who promised us she\'d leave- is back under a new AC #.

folks, just ignore her noise pollution and express what you want to say.

Bimbo? actually I'm just agreeing with that poster, must be hard to get your head around more than one person disagreeing with you. She obviously made an impact on you. As for me, you may call me Mr bimbo. Are you on school vacation? you should be revising your spelling and grammar rather than fearmongering.

ATLANTIC AND MONTENEGRO

can any Hierrans or Spaniards explain what exactly this distinction means, since its off shore? the coordinates are very close to Fronterra, seem to overlap?

I see you chose to skip my post.
Anyway, there are around 10k residents on El Hierro. How many of them do you think are here?
They go to resources that they can rely on, not one of them are here thinking there is a mega tsunami conspiracy.
So, that thread that was made earlier, the one that would warn El Hierro of a tsunami on their island. Who was that directed at?
Oh and El Hierro is off the West African Coast, any 'Spaniards' will not know what is going on at the Island.

I am quite aware this showed the Tsunami from La Palma but as El Hierro is right next door la Palma then suely the wave pattern would be the same.

Remember a small amount of debris in the sea could cause a small Tsunami but even at 1-2 feet a wave by the time it reached the other Canary islands it could cause some damage.

Its the power behind the wave that we need to be worried about not the size of the wave.

Typing errors should say El Hierro is right next door to La Palma and spelling should say then surely .
