This video is of El Hierro.
La Palma is right next to it and is the one that could cause a mega tsunami that would impact the east coast of the USA.

I follow the activities there. It has been totally quiet for a full day now.

Neither here nor there.
a couple of years back it was decided that la palma and el hierro were in fact part of a super volcano complex, this complex also includes all of the volcanoes in the canary island region.

I did read somewhere that El Hierro could cause La Palma to go off.

The epicenter was several miles out at sea away from the Island. One road had plenty of boulders on it. At this time they do not know if it was an earthquake or volcanic. Quite before the storm.

This is what I was wondering when viewing the video, lots of dust and as they panned outward towards the ocean what also looked to be steam.

We are about 2+ hours from the coast of Maine and at an elevation of 1556 ft above sea level. Don't know how much higher or farther away we should get. PLUS this is something that God has control of, not me. He put me and dh here and I have to have faith it's going to be safe. Maybe seafront property tho.......
not sure if that was steam or splashes from rocks tumbling into the sea.. wish he would have slowed down and stopped at any point.

2 Earthquakes (1.4 EQ & 1.2 EQ) listed at IGN, but merely aftershocks of the M5.1 mainshock and far out in the sea.
Just a short note to tell our readers that Etna volcano in Sicily is currently erupting. You can follow the eruption in this webcam: http://www.lave-volcans.eu/webcams_etna.php?numero=2

No more earthquakes since our morning update and no abnormal tremor on the seismograph(s).
No new GPS reading so far of the Uni of Nagoya/Involcan deformation measurement at El Pinar.
The Modis Terra satellite image was clear today and showed no abnormalities.

An earthquake free night at El Hierro.
No increased tremor after an initial increase yesterday evening.
New IGN GPS deformation data are in, and are showing a first notable increase in the North of the island of about 1 cm (HI01, HI00 and FRON), areas which had almost no lifting so far.
The South-eastern part (La Restinga and El Pinar HI08 and HI09) are showing slight increases (Please note that HI10 or El Julan did not get new data today).
The only part of the island where a small subsidence has been noted is the HI03 (Sabinosa) and HI04 (Lighthouse) or generally speaking the western edge of the island.
Horizontal deformations : strongest change is a 1 cm North-East push at HI01.
Locations of the GPS stations : see location map below.
With a new increase in the north, the magma below the island hasn’t decided yet to go away.

Should be more than sufficient. Wouldn't want to be anywhere near the coast though.

I believe Tonga had a big one too- 5.9. Always wonder if there is some sort of weird relationship

considering that they are essentailly all long the ring of fire yes they would be connected.

Tonga is as flat as a tack just about. I spent some time on the main island.
As far as I know, the "Ring of Fire" nickname is purely the Pacific Ocean, whereas La Palma is in the Atlantic Ocean. Now the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Atlantic_Ridge) may very well have something to do with it, and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is very definitely active. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is the driving force (literally) behind the widening Atlantic Ocean and the force behind the Iceland series of volcanoes (one of the, if not THE, most active volcanic regions on the entire planet).

Not sure if it is 30 feet or 30 meters (which would be nearly 100 feet). I saw a table somewhere yesterday- either in comments at Volcano Cafe, Eruptions, or Earthquake-Report (not as likely). If I can find it, I'll post. It had the whole east coast, including Florida (which, I think, might have had the GOM side, too)

If you look at the fault lines you will see that the MAR goes down around South America and straight over into the largest fault line of the RoF on the far western side of the Pacific. Also don't ignore the fact that quakes have been known to ring straight through the planet, granted this quake wasn't a super quake but a major push on the atlantic side might cause a push over on the pacific side if the pacific side no longer has room to push.
Lots to do today, more later.
The area we all need to be focusing on right now is Oklahoma!

Never found the referring comment, but did find the website.
MORE than 100 feet, according to them. (Another site says it is complete bunk- second link)http://modernsurvivalblog.com/natur...ould-a-300-foot-tsunami-go-on-the-east-coast/

Packy,
What going on in Oklahoma? I know you mentioned earlier of a ancient volcano in central OK. Is that what you are worried about?

Yes, it actually made the world news last night, the quakes not the ancient volcano. Obviously some are blaming this on fracking but if you can find the thread a few years back ok so sometime around 2008, Cappy made a comment about Native Americans refused to go to certian places in the OKC area, that are now heavily populated, because the area was "evil". The US Army had other ideas.
Me thinks the evil was due to the gas fissures, etc., that were pretty common in the area back in the 1800's, why and when they stopped is beyond me, there were well known hotsprings documented in army journals in the area as well. It's debatable as to which faultline is causing the most issues here the Mid Continental Rift (I know there are arguments as to whether it goes as far south as OKC or not, or the other one whose name escapes me at the moement that goes in a south easterly track towards Dallas, TX.
I do know that more of those thingys that measure quake activity have been popping up in my area recently, and the town I live in sits atop the MCR!

Atlantic was named after Atlantis. Or maybe it was the other way around. Atlantis was part of the Atlantic and it was earthquakes that brought it down. People were warned this was coming but no one paid any attention. Just like now. And it sunk. With all aboard. Millions died in one fell swoop.
One of the surviving races was the red race. (Indians)

3 cm = 1+ inch, approximately---I know if the ground under my house lifted one inch plus in 24 hrs, I'd be having some serious destabilization problems with the foundation.
I wish I knew by how much the first area mentioned is "subsiding".
Sounds like the island itself is undulating---half moving upwards and half downwards, like an ocean wave...
hoo boy....

Here is the Elvi Zapata video, who I think is the guy who came out some time ago with a prophecy of the tsunami coming the US. Not sure when he first predicted this but it came out a while back I believe.
It's a little eerie how many folks in the comments section under the video have also had "tsunami dreams" for the east coast US--and this BEFORE they saw this video, heard Elvi Zapata's prophecy, or heard of Las Palmas...

this makes sense since the fault line goes straight through the island! Half of it will be sinking the other half rising.
