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

Brilliant! Thank you so much!

Dutch says no tsunami threat from this eruption. Does he say that to stay on YouTube or he really truly believes it?

Use Tangy's clip for reference. The scale is massive btw, and I can visibly see it running down the cone.



Not a video-tard, but I wouldn't be surprised if that stuff is moving at thirty or forty miles an hour. With bursts that are much faster.

If Adam Savage was here, I think he could give an accurate number.

FAST.

Is all I can say.

He is compromised or misguided, if that’s true.

NO ONE can truly tell us with any certainty that we’re not going to experience a serious problem from this crisis.

Very irresponsible thing to say.

And I make these statements as a long time fan/follower of Dutch.

Yep, and also he is not an expert on volcanoes anyway, he's said as much recently.

If this intensity continues from that middle vent and the one above it which is mostly out of view because of the action from the one below, it seems almost inevitable more crumbling and tumbling will occur.

Whether enough landslide to generate a mega-tsunami or even a plain ole tsunami is another matter.

We could be monitoring this one for the long haul, as she doesn't look like she's letting up anytime soon to me.

Middle vent looks absolutely spectacular now, like two halves of a coconut shell.

He does jump around and he says so much
It really is hard to summarize.
But I will try.
He spent the majority of the video talking about the North American Pacific coast EQ zones and how the energy comes across the Pacific to Alaska, then goes south down into california.
He showed a map of the US EQs and how it relates to the craton, in the center of the country (very stable area).
He talks about standing waves and then gets to La Palma at approximatelythe 1 hour 10 minute mark.
Then he talks about having an emergency kit ready.

Numbers to compare?

I don't know if that person is actually quoting Dutch, misquoting him, or poorly paraphrasing Dutch.

I have very expensive thermal scope, but I am not about to go hang out on a ticking time bomb...

the earth is splitting
it just may get down right scary.

Agreed, that lava was moving!!!

Common, go find Bushcraft bear. Be epic.

Agree. What about a nuke? What about CERN? There are other threats than natural progress.

Numbers of what to compare what?

Quite a show tonight.

The GOOD news, I think, is that the inflation numbers are holding steady ie: NOT increasing.

For now the eruption is emptying out the magma as fast as it is coming up from below after initially inflating that part of the island very quickly by about 24-28 cm.

Of course if MORE magma starts coming up than is being emptied the inflation will resume, much like happened with Mt. St. Helens.

Like many I am watching the EQ depth quite closely ... and if it starts getting up to the 5km or LESS range THAT is when I think the risk of a partial slide of the island becomes more real. It is NOT there YET.

As I have previously noted I also think that that entire ridge area needs to be HEATED UP so as to add the dynamic of super heated water pressurizing the rocks and pushing them away from each other (ie: helping to break the bonds holding that part of the island from the rest). In my layman analysis that is part of the reason for the Mt. St. Helen's slide, the bond holding that side of the mountain to the rest of the mountain had been considerably weakened by super heated water inside the mountain pushing the entire mountain OUT so it blew out sideways versus UP.

In regards to HEAING UP the critical rock area ... that TAKES TIME!!

There are at least hundreds of cubic kilometers of rock that has to be brought up to temperature (or more), so to speak, which is why I am still holding to my personal analysis that the island will NOT even start to be prepped for a slide until we reach November. The rock bonds holding it together will NOT be weakened enough until then (remember it took Mt. St. Helens TWO months to reach that dynamic of a weakened mountain, Tambora took 6 to 12 weeks, ditto with Krakatoa - only Mt. Pinatubo went into a full scale eruption very quickly, but it blew UP not OUT).

Thanks to everyone for all their work on this thread!! Like everyone else here I am mesmerized by what is happening .
