VOLCANOES ABOUT TO ERUPT

Quote

VOLCANOES -
RUSSIA - The Klyuchevskoy volcano on Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula is showing signs of coming to life, throwing out red-hot rocks, seismologists say. The volcano, located 220 miles north of the city Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky in Russia's Far East, erupts about once every two years. "At present, the Klyuchevskoy spews out magma to a height of (330 feet) with 1- to 6-minute intervals. This eruption, (which started on Oct. 3), unlike many others, started slow, but its intensity is rapidly growing." While only tourists who venture too close to the volcano are threatened at this point, if the eruptions continue to build, high altitude ash emissions may affect air travel in the region.

MONTSERRAT - New ash spewed twice from the Montserrat volcano Monday morning, leaving parts of the island covered in dust. The volcano on the Caribbean island shot a plume of ash more than two miles (three kilometers) into the sky.

VANUATU - A volcano in Vanuatu is showing signs of increased activity. A team of volcanic experts have arrived at the Gaua volcano and are collecting data to determine whether it will erupt. The local population has not yet been advised to evacuate until the alert level reaches level three. It is currently at level one, however locals say they are experiencing increased ash fall and minor earth quakes.

Possible volcanic eruptions in Sumatra - Earthquakes and volcanic eruption go hand-in-hand in the Indonesian island of Sumatra, so it is wise to keep a close watch on the recurrance of quakes and following developments in the region, says a senior volcanologist. There are more than 200 volcano lines along the Sumatra fault running parallel to the subduction zone. During March 2007 earthquake, the Talang volcano showed increased volcanic activity throwing ash plumes. The current series of seismic activities are lined over the active Sumatra fault close to three active volcanoes -- Marapi, Talang and Tandikat.

Yeah sure. Normal... in a catastrophic planet wide life changing/ending even sort of way.

Panic isn't a good thing, but a healthy dose of concern is absolutely called for.

"God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787
