Post by kestrel9 »

Images filmed on Saturday in La Palma show Spanish UME (Military Emergency Unit) troops operating drones to obtain live images of the evolution of eruption situation at the Cumbre Vieja volcano.

Here's a before pic posted in February (don't know the date of the pic itself)

https://theblogginghounds.com/2021/02/0 ... c-tsunami/
FEB 1: In the last few years, the Cumbre Vieja volcano in La Palma / Canary Islands was hit by several earthquake swarms. The first major series occurred in October 2017. It was followed by another seismic event in February 2018 and five in 2020, the latest end of December 2020.

Meanwhile, a new seismic unrest has started beneath the volcanic peak since January 31, 2021. The magnitudes of the earthquakes are between 1,2 and 2,5 (MbLg) and their depths range between 10 and 29 km right under the western slope of the Cumbre Vieja volcano.
The article has cool earthquake graphics and info...

Also a twist regarding worst case scenario :o
There are concerns that if Cumbre Vieja blows, the massive slab of rock could smash into the Atlantic Ocean causing a killer tidal wave.

This gigantic tsunami could travel thousands of miles and wash out coastal areas of Britain and even parts of the eastern seaboard of America.

I've been watching the live feed (like a volcano fag), it's been really ramping up in the last twenty min. Hope it's better to release the energy? I would hate to be on that island. Airport is closed.

EDIT: Amazing

EDIT: About that house standing surrounded by lava yesterday (don't know about today as the volcano is going strong atm)

Owners bought it for the view.
The home is owned by Inge and Rainer Cocq, a retired Danish couple who have not been to the island since the COVID-19 pandemic began, according to a translated report in El Mundo.

"They came several times a year, until the virus arrived," said Ada Monnikendam, who built the home with her husband.

Monnikendam recognized the home while scrolling through images of the eruption on social media.

:roll: So they have failed to destroy the ring? Better try again in the next 30 years.
