The 'week of hell' leaves the palmeros worried about the violent drift of the volcano
A "huge pouring" is formed from the fusion of the main chimney with two mouths that were opened on Friday; late yesterday, the Pevolca Scientific Committee assured that the lava had slowed its advance speed

The situation can change radically in a matter of hours; it is a non-linear and therefore dynamic event. The hell that the island of La Palma has been living since last Sunday when the Cumbre Vieja volcano erupted at around 3:00 p.m., has washed away 212 hectares of land, including at least 461 built infrastructures. A data compiled by the Geological and Mining Institute of Spain (IGME), which continues to use the Sentinel satellite of the European Union, within the framework of the Copernicus program, to observe the deformation of the land produced by the movements of magma from the interior rooms of the Earth, in the same way as to measure other parameters.

For the first time since this natural phenomenon began, on Friday the experts of the National Geographic Institute (IGN) expressed their doubts about the evolution of the event due to the "violence" demonstrated, with an important seismic signal, that is, vibrations produced by the shock wave of each explosion. The possibility that a main fireplace skirt might crumble was put on the table. And so it was (in part): the main broadcast center, throughout the night from Friday to Saturday, merged with two other mouths that had been opened in the middle of the afternoon, constituting what the IGME described as "a huge wash ”. But a major collapse of the structure did not take place, although the mountain did begin to throw hot rocks larger than the initial ones and faster, between 250 and 300 meters per hour,


"Moral authority raises its voice so that it is heard ...

The Isla Bonita has moved away from what the director of the IGN in the Canary Islands, María José Blanco, called “the worst scenario”. Although the truce that the volcano seemed to have granted yesterday throughout the day ended late at night. As of 22.00, the roars frightened the Aridane Valley, because, according to the Scientific Committee provided for in the Pevolca (Civil Protection Plan and Emergency Assistance of the Canary Islands for Volcanic Risk), there was evidence of a minimum from three emission centers, from which matter emanates simultaneously. And the explosiveness was evident late at night, with strong shaking that made the doors and windows shake, apart from a higher and higher jet of lava.

Miguel Ángel Morcuende, technical director of Pevolca, pointed out in an appearance at 2:00 p.m. at the Salazar Palace in Santa Cruz de La Palma that the volcanic, fissural and strombolian nature of the Cumbre Vieja implied “that the different emission centers that are happening, they do it along a fissure in a southeastern direction ”. And those mouths "can be turned off or closed, or can reappear", depending on many factors. On the other hand, he acknowledged that "although yesterday [Friday for the reader] we had a phenomenon of irritability, that is, an increase in energy", at that time of noon the assessment of the technicians was that "it follows the usual standards", having consider the truce then.

Regarding the latest evacuations, in the neighborhoods of Tacande de Arriba, Tacande de Abajo and Tajuya, Morcuende said that finally only 16 residents had to be rehoused in the Fuencaliente hotel; the rest found a "friendly shelter" in the homes of relatives. The eviction of these citizens, he said, is contingent on the advance of Events, and marked an approximate period of 24 hours: "If tomorrow [today] we see that evolution is definitely not going to produce any kind of peak", residents could return to their homes. But if on the contrary "it does not give us guarantees, we must continue with the evacuated people."

'NOVELERS'
The presence of a significant number of people from other islands on La Palma generated unease yesterday among certain sectors of the population, to the extent that professionals who tried to travel to collaborate in the logistical tasks of receiving donations could not do so due to the shortage of places. This, despite the fact that the Fred Olsen company increased a frequency between Tenerife and the Isla Bonita. Of course, beyond the novelty of some curious, it should be remembered that air traffic continues to be closed.

EVERYTHING
As had been happening with other areas that had been evacuated, the Cabildo announced yesterday that it was allowing residents in the Todoque neighborhood (Los Llanos de Aridane) to enter their homes, within the margins they estimated to guarantee safety, in order to to collect everything that was left behind in the first eviction. Likewise, the possibility of banana trees cutting the banana pineapples in the coastal enclaves of El Remo, Puerto Naos and Las Hoyas was resumed.

ASH
Miguel Ángel Morcuende warned about the need to scrupulously follow the indications that have been made by official media about the removal of volcanic ash. A very basic guideline is that it should not be removed with water, because it produces a chemical reaction that emits harmful gases.

IMO I think they have got this wrong and should not be giving the islanders a false sense of security (but hope it is the truth)

The graphs are still showing Max tremor from midnight so how can they be so sure ??????

Statement from the Facebook page of the Cabildo La Palma posted 59 minutes ago.


Update ℹ️: The night has passed without significant incidents in La Palma. Lava is slowly moving forward and the following roads continue to be affected ⬇️:


They really are taking the mickey.

I have been up most of the night watching the eruption it has been very violent and loud I doubt very much if the villages close by have slept.

I have jumped three times because of the loud eruptions its been spewing out lava bombs most of the time violet eruptions with fountains so high all three vents were seen to be erupting. The lava has been very fast flowing down the side vent and that has been so active.

There have been more earthquakes during the night in the south where there was talk yesterday of the possibility of new mouth opening,

All can be viewed on the link below.

I am not being rude or detrimental to the islanders on what I have written below I am just stating facts. In other countries as example Japan Iceland etc children are taught in school the dangers of living on a Volcanic island and have full knowledge of evacuation routes etc.

I read a statement from an islander yesterday who was adamant Cumbre Viaje was not a volcano he stated he should know he lives on La Palma he said the only volcano on the island was Caldera de Taburiente National Park is a national park on the island of La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain. It contains the Caldera de Taburiente, ....

He did not know that Taburiente was not even a Volcano it was a Caldera formed by the action of the Volcanoes on the island .

This is the main issue and worry as all the islanders from the Canary islands do not understand or were never taught that they all live on Volcanic Islands it is such a worry .

The main vent and side vent are erupting now .

Black white and grey smoke showing wish I understood why the same magma is feeding the vents but different coloured smoke coming from each vent.
