Canary Islands Somewhere over the next stretch of time, New Yorkers will have to deal with a HUGE tidal wave of a Tsunami The mega- tidal wave.

i'm feeling sick..

LMAO!! bless... xx

Canarias Anthena 3 recognizes that the eruption is imminent, before tonight. Follow the most rigorous information in A3 Canaries in 15 minutes.

I am not a vulcanologist but my dad is a Sr. Geologist for the State of California, and a buddy is with USGS, and I slept very well last night.

Opinion, El Hierro is plenty of entertainment for us and geologists, and most likely will create some amount of disaster for the Canaries, but the odds are against a mega tsunami. La Palma is the real threat, is on the course, but that might wait till 2012, or later.

In the meantime, enjoy.

Doom is not depressing.
Only depression is depressing.

RTVC just showed some of the dead fish from south of EL Hierro being brought ashore.

Looked like a tuna type species. Definitely badly “burned. Whether by heat or chemical action I could not guess.

Didn't they have a show on the Discovery channel a year or 2 back saying they were worried about this same thing happening if the Canaries slipped or blew?

“We have no experience in eruptions under the sea”, “do not know the exact location of the area now has migrated to where the magma”. .[..] just said a geologist at the IGN press conference with the president of the [El Hierro] council and the director general of Emergency.

ITS HAPPENING!!!

what???????

there is a guy speaking who has no teeth

the guy is sayinG "if there is an inrcement of the level of sea there can be a tsunami"

Anyone here who can tell us what he is saying? They ARE showing a volcano erupting. But no way to know if this is something realtime or some stock video.

they are saying something like "if a big eruption happens underwater they will have a hard time knowing it until it starts affecting beccause of the visual contact, for it is too deep"
Spanish is not my first language so i would like some one to help me translate better.

They keep showing a volcano erupting.

i hope not. i have such a bad feeling about this, i hope it is just me.

LMAO that made me laugh too loud!!!

"there is a good chance of another Eruptive Focus inland (dunno if there is a better more scientific translation), which will cause another eruption but not submarine..."

this shit is promising... get some popcorn

thanks for the translation

she's hot

dont blame others for being the dark about this or any subject, if you were meant to know, you'd know by now. like herman cain said, dont blame others if youre poor.

GLP for GOP!

and also they dont know WHERE the second eruption will happen if it happens. it can be random.
and also they said that this is a fissure vulcano and suposely it has various phases , and it is just the begning

Thanks to all who can give us some translation.

qstion then is where is the weakest spot

this is another volcano from pacific, just a example from a undersea eruption


but el hierro is much more deep

“No tenemos experiencia en volcanes submarinos”

Por su parte, la científica del Instituto Geográfico Nacional (IGN), Carmen López, afirmó que desde los signos de tremor aparecidos la madrugada del lunes, ha desaparecido la sismicidad.

Así mismo, ha afirmado que “el aumento del tremor durante esta mañana, que ha sido sentido por los vecinos, hace pensar que se ha producido un segundo foco eruptivo”, aunque el IGN no sabe dónde está ubicado. “Por el momento, barajamos que saldrá en el mar, pero si sigue así podría ocurrir un paisaje más peligroso”, afirmó.

“Si la migración (del foco) se acercara a la costa, sería otro tipo de volcanismo con afectación en tierra, posiblemente entre 500 y 1.000 metros”, prosiguió Carmen López. “El volcanismo en El Hierro es de tipo fisural. Es decir, primero sale material magmático y después se va fragmentando y haciendo pequeños conitos a lo largo del suelo oceánico. Por ésto no descartamos que se acerque a la costa”.

Sin embargo, cuestionada por cuánto duraría una posible erupción, Carmen López afirmó que no lo saben porque no tienen experiencia en volcanes submarinos.

Translation;

"We have no experience in underwater volcanoes"

For its part, the scientific National Geographic Institute (IGN), Carmen Lopez, said that since the signs of tremor appeared early Monday, the seismicity has disappeared.

It has also stated that "the increase in tremor this morning, which has been felt by residents, suggests that there has been a second focus eruption," but the IGN does not know where it is located. "At the moment, which will shuffle into the sea, but if it continues like this could happen more dangerous landscape," he said.

"If the migration (the focus) is closer to the coast, is another type of volcanism on land affected, probably between 500 and 1,000 meters," continued Carmen Lopez. "Volcanism in El Hierro is fissure type. That is, first magmatic material out and then becomes fragmented and making small cones along the ocean floor. By this we do not rule that comes close to the coast. "

However, challenged by long would a possible eruption, Carmen Lopez said he did not know because they have no experience in underwater volcanoes.

they are doing an awesome security and evacuation job.

They are showing the time in the lower left corner.

Apparently live....

11/10/2011 19:47 – Carmen Lopez from IGN (National Geographic Institute) has said that a new eruption closer to the coast would be ‘more explosive’. The El Roquillo tunnel will remain closed. The president of the Council of El Hierro has said that it is unknown how long the evacuation from La Restinga will last.

11/10/2011 18:49 – The president of the Government is currently meeting with experts and ministers in La Moncloa to discuss the El Hierro situation.

11/10/2011 18:10 – As a precaution, all maritime transport has been prohibited in the danger zone around the epicentre of the eruption off the south coast of El Hierro.

11/10/2011 18:02 – The military arrive at the sports venue where the residents of La Restinga have been evacuated to. The total population of La Restinga has now been evacuated.

11/10/2011 16:32 – The epicenter of recent seismic activity seems to be shifting toward the center of El Hierro. The National Geographic Institute expects higher intensity earthquakes, between 4 and 5 degrees, as the pressure of the lava underground searches for a point to escape.
