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

I was just looking up the seismic precursors leading up the Mt. Helen eruption in 1980 and found this article....

Speaking on a 5.1 magnitude quake 2km below the surface:

"The bulge began to collapse and slip down the mountain, thereby producing the largest historically recorded landslide-debris avalanche. Almost one cubic mile of rocks raced down the flank with speeds of up to 150 miles per hour, devastating everything in a 24 square mile area north of the volcano.

But it got even worse. Until the bulge began to slide, its weight had kept the magma under Mount St. Helens at bay. However, once this lid was off, the pressurized magma violently made its way to the surface, thereby blowing away the summit of Mount St. Helens. The rest is history:"

In summary, the quakes become more shallow as the primary precursor to an eruption. In 2017 La Palma had some 450 quakes at a depth of 20-30 km. We have quakes at less than 2 km depth at La Palma happening today!

So in the event of a large tsunami, what can the states in the Gulf of Mexico from Texas to Florida expect?

Thank you for the insight!!! I'm on the East Coast Savannah Georgia, I have a feeling tonight is going to be a long night....

^ Imagine of the thousands of quakes over fast few days in La Palma.


These quakes have been so shallow, and progressivly moving closer to the surface, till just today we're only 1-2 KM away... interesting in a 80 million people might die sort of way...

Worried about family that live near the coast in Maryland.

oh brother hope this is not big one massive slide into atlantic makin huge tsunami that hit us east coast im on west coast of fla.

"REV 8:8 - And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;"


Sounds legit

The recent flooding in China serves as a reminder as how much of a death trap high-density tunnels are. That was horrific to hear miles of cars and everyone drowning. I don't think we ever got an offical number being it's China and they hide everything.

Florida is as flat as Holland it would barrel straight through from East to West with no resistance the highest elevation is 340 feet I heard earlier, no chance for you even on the West coast...I'm wreckon we are fucked in Ireland where I'm at 380 feet and 35 miles inland..

I don't think people truly understand exactly how many people will be on the same roadways, all at the same time and with only a couple of hours to get out. It won't be like rush hour traffic with 3-4 different shifts going in different directions trying to get home for dinner. Add the threat of death to the mix and all common sense goes out the window. Road rage will be off the charts as self preservation runs rampant.

I'm in Hudson,NH with no car or bug out bag, and I am alone? Am I screwed???

I'm in Nova Scotia. 100 foot wave will break up very quickly. It will do damage and death, buts it's not a world ender. Water always takes the easy way out. It would damage the coast but actually do more flooding inland via the valleys and rivers. I'm in the SW so my perspective may differ from others.

I have no map or compass either.

Someone give me some advice...
