I searched and didn't see anyone posting on this. Admin: if this belongs in Earth Changes, sry and please move.

There are several news links, you can search them on the net. Here is one I pulled quickly.

For those of you who aren't familiar with this volcano, it is a bad situation. Its called CUMBRE VIEJA and from what I remember there is a 10-20 mile long crack across the top and supposedly if the volcano erupts, it will send the entire side of the volcano into the Atlantic ocean. This in return will create a massive tsunami effecting ALL coastal lands on the Atlantic. Anywhere from 350' to 50' wave is to be expected. This will even backup the Hudson river hundreds of miles inland because as water tries to go out to sea water is coming in.

To make things worse, I can't remember this as well because the last time i studied this was back in 2003 or so, but there are 15 nuclear reactors that could potentially melt down in the USA alone. THIS WILL DESTROY ALL BEACHES IN THE USA EAST COAST MUCH LIKE FUKUSHIMA! Fukushima wave I belive was 30' at its highest point.

Last week evacuation meetings were taking place in several places in Europe. Its maddening thinking the governments would just leave the people they are paid to protect without warning. THIS IS MURDER IN MY BOOK. Today the alert level was raised to yellow. Could this be why Obama and crew went to Colorado? The two most destructive volcanoes, CUMBRE VIEJA and KATLA are both currently swarming. Katla, could darken the sun for a long time and also has the capability of creating a 5-10 year long winter.

ETA on east coast impact is around 5 hours. Maybe even sooner.

I don't really know much more, except for those that match events up with scripture, this very much so matches Revelations 8:8 and 8:9 - check it out.

8:8 "The second angel sounded, and something like a great burning mountain was thrown into the sea. One third of the sea became blood (red)"

8:9 "and one third of the living creatures which were in the sea died. One third of the ships were destroyed".


If you have friends on the East coast, warn them.

I need to do some chores, Ill check back later. say some prayers. They really do work.

Rex: Thanks for the heads-up.

I've been watching out for 'signs' that Cumbra Vieja is springing back to a level of volcanic activity that would warrant close inspection. If she blows it is 'game over' here in the western hemisphere. I would be willing to say that there isn't one person in 100K that has a clue as to the potential destruction that would eventuate should the western flank of this island separate and fall into the Atlantic Ocean.

Take care.

Oh goody.........

Let's see, we have a sunspot group that is throwing X-class flares, mulitiple comets running around up there to excite it even more.
Possible warnings on earthquakes because of the above and NOW, we can have a tsunami blasting the whole east coast if this thing lets go......

OH, forgot all the big shots will be gone all this next week for conferences in the mile high city, far away from the east coast and that includes Obama.........

What did I forget? Anyone?

LOL..........it's going to be a doomer week for sure.

OH yeah, forgot the stock market and world economies about to swirl the porcelain commode........

Lovely. Just plain lovely.
I am so happy we live up in the Appalachian on the north end at 1556 ft with a 4000 ft mt between us and the Atlantic....

Makes me want to pull out the movie 2012 tonight or maybe "Knowing" or just have a filmathon and throw Deep Impact into the schedule......LOL.....

I did get that first batch of tomato sauce in the jars today......

I will be over here doing this now..... :popcorn1:

So much is happening all at once these days that it's hard to keep up with every potential doom scenario. I've known about this volcano for quite a while, but had put it into the back of my mind until recently. Rex, Thanks for the updates on this one, it is appreciated.

From the Rense article:

Dr. Day claims that the Mega Tsunami will generate a wave that will be inconceivably catastrophic. He says: "It will surge across the Atlantic at 500 miles per hour in less than seven hours, engulfing the whole US east coast with a wave almost two hundred feet high " higher than Nelson,s Column " sweeping away everything in its path up to 20 miles inland. Boston would be hit first, followed by New York, then all the way down the coast to Miami, the Caribbean and Brazil." Millions would be killed, and as Dr. Day explains: "It's not a question of "if" Cumbre Vieja collapses, it's simply a question of "when".

Can you imagine a 200-ft wall of water coming at you? :shkr:

We'd have about 6 hours' notice, but I don't think everyone could evacuate that quickly to 20 miles inland.

This is not the La Palma volcano that is under alert, this is the volcanic island just south of it. It could still produce a tsunami but not as large as La Palma.

The Canary Islands are an undersea volcanic mountain chain like the Hawaiian Islands, at least that is what I have found online about this subject. El Hierro is about 50 miles south of La Palma.

Just wondering, where did you get the 20 mile inland figure? I ask because I am about 45 - 50 miles inland. ;)

Ok, so we can scratch this one off the list for at least this week?

Getting a crick in my neck from watching in so many directions........

On a side note, looks like clear skies tonight for a change. I was given a spotting scope last weekend and I intend on taking it out tonight to see what I can see "up there" with it. Not like a real telescope but it's better than binocs......we have a regular tripod and everything. I am syked.....

Cumbre Vieja (Spanish: Old Summit) is an active volcanic ridge on the volcanic ocean island of Isla de La Palma in the Canary Islands.
This ridge trends in an approximate north-south direction and covers the southern third of the island. It is lined by several volcanic craters.
Click to expand...

Also,
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC 2 Channel) transmitted “Mega-tsunami; Wave of Destruction”,[5] which suggested that a future failure of the western flank of the Cumbre Vieja would cause a "mega-tsunami."

Day et al. (1999)[6] and Ward and Day (2001)[7] hypothesize that during a future unascertained eruption, the western half of the Cumbre Vieja – approximately 500 km3 (5 x 1011 m3) with an estimated mass 1.5 x 1015 kg – will catastrophically fail in a massive gravitational landslide and enter the Atlantic Ocean generating a so called "mega-tsunami." The debris will continue to travel, as a debris flow, along the ocean floor. Computer modelling indicates that the resulting initial wave may attain a local amplitude (height) in excess of 600 metres (1,969 ft) and an initial peak to peak height that approximates to 2 kilometres (1 mi), and travel at about 1,000 kilometres per hour (621 mph) (approximately the speed of a jet aircraft), inundating the African coast in about 1 hour, the southern coast of England in about 3.5 hours, and the eastern seaboard of North America in about 6 hours, by which time the initial wave would have subsided into a succession of smaller ones each about 30 metres (98 ft) to 60 metres (197 ft) high. These may surge to several hundred metres in height and be several kilometres apart but retaining their original speed. The models of Day et al.[6] and Ward and Day[7] suggest that it could inundate up to 25 kilometres (16 mi) inland. This would greatly damage or destroy cities along the entire North American eastern seaboard, and tens of millions would be killed as Boston, New York City, Miami, and many other cities that are located near the Atlantic coast are leveled.

IT WOULD BE THE BIG ONE!

All depends upon elevation and slope and all that. I would assume if the coast is very flat for a long way inland even 20 miles wouldn't be enough if the water was 200 feet high.

I watched a program on this volcano maybe 15 years ago by a British Geologist and then his prediction had water going up the foothills of the Appalachians, so I don't know if 20 miles is fare enough inland for this event...

I will study this tomorrow, post what I learn.


Meanwhile, watch this video. This is the effect of Sendai dropping 8' while a 30' tsunami comes in. I watched 100 Japanese tsunami videos. None taught me as much as this. I watched it 20 times, and continue to visit it regularly for more study:

The interesting thing here in California for the trivia lovers is not that it has the highest Mountain in the lower 48, nor the lowest point, the odd thing is the two locations are only about 100 miles apart!

Rex, glad to see you posting. While it's true that there is only about 50 miles between the spot having the earthquakes and the rock wall on La Palma that is of concern, there is no guarantee that any volcanic activity will cause the famous rock slide that hasn't happened yet.

Here are a couple of links to youtube videos of old news shots of past La Palma volcanic eruptions, in 1949 and 1971. The wall didn't slide then, and it is unsure that it will slide now. There are some Dutch scientists who have studied the rock wall and say that the feared event won't happen because the underlying rock is too porous and the required steam/heat build up just won't happen. Thus, even if the wall comes down, it won't be a single "boom" whole rock event, but more likely a crumbling. Sorry for no link now on that. It's late and it was weeks ago I checked this out and read that. Still, anyone interested should know and do a serious search.

synopsis: lots of smoke and lava, people watching. News report in Spanish.

This isn't merely an uninterested look at this volcano. Most of my living family is in the area that would be effected should the La Palma-tsunami theory be correct.

Rex, just watched that video of the tsunami and sat there like an idiot with my jaw dropped. Breathtaking doesn't describe it. We need new language, ours has been corrupted by adverts describing trivial toys with our hottest words.

Now I'm loading the HD version of it. It's so exquisite, seems almost slow, like a parade. Just picking up everything and hauling it down the way.

Gives a whole new meaning to "Well, there goes the neighborhood".

Island of El Hierro prepares for potential volcanic eruption
Posted on September 26, 2011 by The Extinction Protocol
September 26, 2011 – CANARY ISLANDS – The island of El Hierro in the Spanish Canary Islands is bracing itself for a possible volcanic eruption. Situated in the Atlantic Ocean off the west coast of Africa, the Canary Islands are all volcanic, but there has been no volcanic activity on El Hierro since 1793. However, a series of small earthquakes have been registered by sensors in the past two months and a quake of grade 3 on the Richter Scale registered last Thursday have caused the threat of volcanic activity to be raised from green to yellow for the first time in recent history. Saturday produced another stronger tremor of 3.4 on the Richter scale which was felt all over the island. Speaking to the El Pais newspaper, volcanologist, Juan Carlos Carracedo admitted an eruption on El Hierro would not be a major surprise. “It is the youngest of the Canary Islands,” he explained. “There is a ball of magma which is rising to the surface and it is stationed at the limit of the earth’s crust. At the moment we do not know if that ball of magna will break the crust and cause an eruption.” Rather than having one large crater, the volcano on el Hierro consists of around 250 small craters. “Any eruption would form cones on the high zones of the island and lava flows which would flow to the sea, although they would do so at a speed that would be slow enough for the population to be evacuated. It is something that could happen in days, weeks or months,” said Carracedo. El Hierro currently has a population of around 10,000 and regional government officials have begun informing them of evacuation protocols in case the worst should happen. The last volcanic eruption in the Canary Islands took place on the island of La Palma in 1971, while the mainland town of Lorca was devastated by an earthquake of 5.2 on the Richter scale in May this year. –CRI English
