Cumbre Vieja volcano post eruption phase! Time to say goodbye for volcano-thank you for all support :)

Is 30 miles approx from the coast too close? Elevation 170 ft...

I think you'll be ok

Roughly 7 to 9 hours.

They say about 6 hours going at 450 mph!

havent seen any updates on the ign site in over a half hour is that normal?

Just saw a YT vidro from La Palma. The speakers sounded really scared in spite of the fact they were telling people to calm down.

Remember that dude who attached balloons to his lawn chair & floated away?

What a great escape from a tsunami.

I can't say I blame em too..If I was standing on top of an island that literally half can just fall away in just moments...I'd be a bit nervous myself

Yes, it did this twelve hours ago too.

It's just settling in.

The swarms are getting tighter and tighter. I was honestly thinking it would quiet down during my night, but it got super active.

Give it an hour or so, and the next swarm will probably start.

Bugout planning food for thought:

The somewhat unexpected...then...suddenly expedited evacuation chaos/snafus that accompanied the recent La Soufrière stratovolcano eruption on St. Vincent offers a stern warning to the slothful.
By comparison, a large La Palma eruption is like La Soufrière on Krack...as in, Krakatoa.


I visited the Canary islands of La Palma and Fuerteventura in the mid eighties for windsurfing demo tour.
I have to say, La Palma gave me the heebie jeebies like no other island or mainland among the multi-plethra that I have set a foot on in my six decades of earth travels to date.

I knew nothing at all about La Playa's earthquake, landslide, megatsunami potential at that time.
But I definitely felt a foreboding, an unexplained uneasiness there that seemed to emanate from the dry dusty ground itself, and not from local culture there, or anything in the world of men.

La Playa's vibe was otherworldly or primeval, antediluvian worldly, as if its tumultuous creation time wasn't quite done.
Once we moved on to Fuerteventura, my foreboding subsided, but even there felt like being in the shadow of something bad.

Or the movies where the protagonist(s) builds a hot-air balloon out of quilts and narrowly escapes.

or if you had a parachute you could use hydrogen [buoyant gas] generated from just water electrolysis.

Yeah activity is again ramping up on graph

I noticed that every cycle of calm and activity causes depth of quakes to be lesser every day

I wonder if this event could be related to that navy map of America in the future where most of the stuff is split up.

that's interesting I wonder what that means, magma settles and pressure builds and pushes it upwards again or something else entirely?

Recent quake

Magnitude 2.3 at depth of 10 km

I thought it would be helpful to post this NOAA tsunami awareness page here. It has some solid facts:

There's a video but here's the jist:

"When you’re in a coastal area, it’s important to keep alert for messages from local officials, such as lifeguards, police, The US Tsunami Warning Centers and NOAA All Hazards Radio.

If you find yourself in a location of a tsunami strike, here’s what you need to do to stay safe: keep calm; walk or run to higher ground, 100 feet above sea level or 1 mile inland;
do not drive – keep roads open for emergency vehicles; if you cannot move to higher ground, use the stairs to get to the third floor or higher in a sturdy building; follow all instructions from local officials, and stay out of coastal areas until authorities issue an “all clear.”"

Edit: never mind...this is not for a mega tsnuami. But good to know anyway.

I think so .But it may change anytime

Israeli news live just weighed in on the situation… China and Russia working to blow it up ??? This might be real Doom!!!

Um I think it just went to 3 in depth. Isn't that really close to the surface?

No, that map is based on the New Madrid Fault blowing its wad, totally different scenario.

3km would be about a 1.8 miles...that's very very shallow

Wow that’s some nice long term stress, if it happens. Could forage for some wood and bark and build a raft in that time.

The 16th or 17th is my guess.. NASA is not saying much about that CME heading this way. Along with the lunar and planetary geometry… this really might actually happen. Doom on

You would want to use big heavy trees...your raft would be getting slammed by cars and houses from every direction.

Thanks for clearing that up haven’t seen that map in forever. Hopefully we’re long gone before that thing blows

Meanwhile...Google news search in last 24 hrs for La Palma yields 4 results.

Also a search on Cumbre Vieja yields these two news articles:

[link to www.mirror.co.uk (secure)]

plus a bunch of stuff from Volcano Discovery and a few foreign articles. A few of them erroneously identify the threat level as yellow when it is actually orange.

was actually gonna bring that up...what is the actual threat level and where can I see that?
