What a terrible way to go. Prayers for those dealing with this disaster and their losses. If the solar hibernation theory is correct, these scenes will likely become more common over the coming months and years.

It was jo

I was just trying to find some info on pyroclastic flows specifically to share. : )

ikr! And the benny hill music just made it perfect!

CAPS MAN on the Kate Spade thread.

A very sad matter, but I had to crack up at his comment.

oops...missed your comment Kickin. Flippin funny shit! And yes on the Benny Hill tunes!

Emphasis on slow.

I see one quake at 1:40 pm and another at 3:20 pm on my app and that’s it for Hawaii.

Yes, but that is typical after the eruptions.

310 total earthquakes so far just today (all magnitudes).

16 earthquakes since the 5.5 'volcanic eruption'. So yes, quite a slow down, but definitely more than just 2 since the eruption. And again, this has been the trend following these 5+ magnitude earthquakes/volcanic eruptions.

To add to this..

I have 2 EQ apps. One of them is USGS-based and doesn't show half the quakes for a given day. Much like the website. So if you were going off an app, maybe that's why you only saw a couple of Hawaii quakes.

Mexico is awfully busy today. I noticed A LOT of pop ups, plus the ones we're getting in real time.

Here is some more info..... (btw my major 40 years ago in college was geology but I think that I have said that before.)

Klauea Volcano Erupts in Explosive and Effusive Cycles

Caldera collapse 2,200 years ago ushered in 1,200 years of explosive eruptions
Since Klauea's surface is dominantly covered by young deposits, only the eruption record of the past 2,500 years is suitably well-known. Effusive lava flows were the norm until about 2,200 years ago, when the Powers caldera formed—the precursor to the present-day summit caldera. The caldera collapsed to a depth of at least 620 m (2030 ft), where magma and external water interacted to trigger powerful phreatomagmatic (water plus magma) eruptions.

Caldera formation marks transition from effusive to explosive phase
The present-day Klauea caldera formed by collapse just after the ‘Ail‘au eruption ended (about 1470 CE) and before the Keanak;ko‘i eruptions began (about 1510 CE). The caldera floor dropped to a depth of about 600 m (1970 ft), with diameters of 3.5 km (2.2 mi) by 3 km (1.9 mi), which is estimated to be a collapse volume of 4 to 6 km3 (1 to 1.4 mi3).

Klauea's most recent explosive period lasted 300 years
Towering lava fountains, likely more than 600 m (2,000 ft) high, roared from Klauea caldera just after it formed and began 300 years of explosive eruptions that ended in the early 19th century. During that time, at least four strong explosive eruptions sent tephra high into the jet stream,

Current effusive period has lasted about 200 years, but it will switch back again
Only a few lava flows were erupted during the 300 years of explosive activity, but that changed in 1823, when the volcano reverted to an effusive interval that continues to this day.
snip:
The first explosive eruption on the volcano since the early 19th century took place in 1924 within Halema‘uma‘u Crater on the floor of Klauea's summit caldera. The eruption occurred days after the active lava lake drained away, with the magma probably intruding into the volcano's East Rift Zone. For 17 days, rocks, ash, and dust erupted in dramatic clouds rising from the crater. Rocks weighing many tons were hurled as far as a kilometer (0.6 mi) from the crater. There was some subsidence within Halema‘uma‘u, but the caldera did not deepen appreciably.

Having pieced together the recent geologic past of Klauea, scientists conclude that the volcano will eventually return to a long period of mostly explosive activity, just as it did around 1500 CE.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Remember that the ash that a volcano pushed up into the air has mass or weight. What goes up will come down. And if it is still hot the ash that comes down in a pyroclastic flow it can be be as hot as lava. Most of the time when it falls back down it follows the valleys on the sides of the volcano.

Run don't walk to the nearest exit.

You have mentioned that before, but I totally forgot. Thanks for the info!

Journalists Had A Surprise Close Encounter With An RQ-170 Sentinel

Well, tonight in PT I did one-legged on-my-toes leg raises on my surgery leg for the first time in 1 yr 10 mos.

YEOWZA. Not in pain. I haven't felt pain since my surgery and after it healed. But the fact of how much muscle and strength I still need to re-build in order to be able to walk normally again.

Pride and ego status: swallowed. Not there yet.

Challenge: accepted.

Thanks, KickinIt! Looks like I need to update my app. Boooooo that sucks. I liked this one.

Is there a real time app available?
