They confine neighborhoods of Tazacorte before the advance of the lava towards the sea
The neighborhoods of San Borondón, Marina Alta, Marina Baja and La Condesa. Given the possibility that the lava reaches the sea in the next few hours, since it is already 1,600 meters from the sea, in the coastal area of Tazacorte and in anticipation of possible emanations of gases that are harmful to health, Pevolca orders the confinement of the neighborhoods of San Borondón, Marina Alta, Marina Baja and La Condesa. The population must follow the instructions of the authorities and remain in their homes, with doors and windows closed, until the situation is evaluated tomorrow, according to the Government of the Canary Islands. The Technical Director of the Plan indicates that the lava follows the path of the main stream and its average speed is about 100 m / h because it is hotter because it emanates from a greater depth of the volcano -about 10 kilometers-, which increases your fluency. In this regard, he details that the front of the tongue is being pushed by new lava that, although the front of the wash is cooling, its interior is still very hot, around 1,200 degrees, which makes it more fluid. The average height of the pouring is located, in front of it, between about four and six meters, and the maximum width of the tongue is about 600 meters, he points out. https://www.canarias7.es/canarias/la-pal...orte&vli=_

The wash exceeds Todoque and is already 1,600 meters from the sea
People who are within a radius of 5 kilometers from the emission center are recommended to take extreme precautions against the possibility of moments of greater explosiveness that can cause glass breakage. The Technical Director of the Special Plan for Civil Protection and Attention to Emergencies due to Volcanic Risk of the Canary Islands (PEVOLCA), Miguel Ángel Morcuende, reports that this afternoon the central area of the Todoque nucleus, in the municipality of Los llanos de Aridane , evacuated days ago, has been overtaken by the lava flow of the volcano, after 7:00 p.m., crossing the LP-213 highway at the height of the town, and it runs approximately 150 meters to the west of the center of said population center . Morcuende explains that the front of the wash was at about 8:15 p.m. at about 1,600 meters in a straight line from the coast, in a NE direction, bordering the Todoque mountain, but points out that the trajectory of the lava will be adapted to the characteristics of the land. This situation has not generated new evictions given that the direction of the wash remains within the established exclusion zone, and all the inhabitants had been evicted previously. The Technical Director of the Plan indicates that the lava follows the path of the main stream and its average speed is about 100 m / h because it is hotter because it emanates from a greater depth of the volcano -about 10 kilometers-, which increases your fluency. In this regard, he details that the front of the tongue is being pushed by new lava that, although the front of the wash is cooling, its interior is still very hot, around 1,200 degrees, which makes it more fluid. The average height of the pouring is located, in front of it, between about four and six meters, and the maximum width of the tongue is about 600 meters, he points out. Morcuende recalls that moments of greater explosiveness can continue to occur, which can be felt within a radius of about 5 kilometers from the emitting center and generate glass breakage, so he reminds that precautions are taken. Regarding the fall of ash in other areas of the Island, he explains that this circumstance will depend on the direction of the wind, and remember that although it does not affect health, it is important, to avoid respiratory and eye problems, its correct handling: wear FFP2 masks, goggles, gloves and long-sleeved clothing. https://www.canarias7.es/canarias/colada...osta&vli=_

The lava from #VolcándeLaPalma is less than 1 kilometer from the coast of #Tazacorte
It is the last hour since #LaPalma that our colleague May Navarro tells us in @BDCanariasTV #RTVCconLaPalma # ErupciónenLaPalma https://twitter.com/i/status/1442392788230975489
