29/09/2021 h Canary Islands.- PALM ISLAND ERUPTION.- CONTINUES THE ERUPTION AND WHAT WE ARE COMING ABOVE, MORE LAVA, MORE MAGMA AND MORE PRESSURE. It is said that a volcano is pressurizing when it has this behavior of these last days with earthquakes followed of equal or greater magnitude, and what it does is breaking the rock so that the magma passes and can continue to climb to seek an exit, especially today The Earthquake shows, after several earthquakes that IGN has left in magnitude 3.3 and between 9-11 km.

Seismicity is expected to rise considerably in the next few days as this new magma coming its way closer to the surface and makes its way breaking rock.... the PICA-PICA is underway and the hits up in the Canaries and the center of the island, sides in the Rest will be noticed by mode. It's so intense that even the most sensitive people notice things like tremors and vibrations in other islands like Gomera and Iron, especially when there are earthquakes of more than 3.

At so far away even many notice the boat effect, as if you were on a boat when you received seismic waves laterally or as if you were dizzy, but it's really not a dizzy, it's just that the ground moves..

And this is what affects us?, because the floor vibrates, you can see blows, if you have cups tinkle, crunches and more... and if you put a bottle with a little water on a table, it amplifies the moves and these They look in the water perfectly. Then they must be very attentive to cracks, deformations, doors or windows that suddenly do not close, indicate that there is deformation... stay tuned.

But I'm getting a problem that already happened to me in the iron eruption and is the pouting or modification of technical data with dark interests where I don't enter. I explain, the energy stairs aren't coming out and you can't work with quality, because the starting data is manipulated in a rude and cheeky way. In the last Earthquake they haven't cut, they change the magnitude... and everything else they leave the same. This is going to cause us a displeasure sooner than later by trusting us when something bigger than we think.

Regarding the emission of lava and pyroclastic materials, continue through specialized mouths, down the lava and up gases and pyrolasts, with some more explosive episodes when you find water. The latest data is that it lowers so much lava, that some lavic channels seem to have overflowed and ravaged some more houses.

If this continues to overflow or a new mouth appears further north, the lava will jump from drainage basin or spill the neighbor further north (this is only dozens of meters) and then will do much destruction, we must evacuate more people in the Pedregal and La Laguna areas and would eat thousands of houses hopefully the lavic canals will hold and not occur. The best thing that could happen is to make a volcanic tube.

The lava delta now has a constant feed and has formed a low or new island of about 400 m long and 200 m offshore, i.e. about 8 hectares nothing less and growing.

And an interesting topic, with this arrival in the Atlantic Ocean, we lose the North-South connection of the West Island. What I don't understand is how they have not moved tokens and prepared an emergency route down the mountain, in view of the eruption being more or less stable, I would have asked if you open a mouth to the other side and Isolate the south side of the island. They don't move, these people's inaction has my mind blown. This management is very improved, there is no doubt about it.

Either from the LP-212 climbing to the mountains or coming down from the LP 301 there are a couple of tracks running through the East of the volcano, one of them possibly so close to the pyroclast cone that it should be unused by the fall of ashes, the other is very high by very aggressive areas, both only to use in case of urgency, so I think they should at least have them ready for use or even make a new stretch from the south from the south Jedey area, passing through the San Juan laundry next to the foot of the Sierra.

Ultimately, now there are two things that catch my eye, the current eruption and what goes up from the mantle under the island, which is expected to come out at the same point, as I could do it for a new point and I'm sure to give it talk in coming days as earthquakes become more and more hierarchy.

At the moment earthquakes are deep about 10 km and I'm waiting for data from tomorrow's deformation as May water. (Enrique)

PS: IGN has put on this animation of earthquakes, showing us the path of magma to the surface, marked by localized seismicity.

IGN have a differing opinion to others about the Fuencaliente Earthquake swarm.


IGN have issued this statement Blanco (IGN) on the earthquakes in the South: “The volcanic system has its escape valve, it does not need another outlet”

The National Geographic Institute (IGN) insists that the seismicity that continues to be detected under the Cumbre Vieja Ridge further south of the erupting volcano is linked to the current episode. María José Blanco clarified before the doubts generated by these earthquakes concentrated in a swarm since last night that “the volcanic system that has an open escape valve (the eruption), does not have the need to look for a new way up to the earth.

-29/09/2021 Canary Islands.- LA PALMA ISLAND ERUPTION.- DEFORMATION CONFIRMS SECOND MAGM INTRUSION UNDER ISLAND. - We had the deep seismicity that told us that more magma is on the way to the surface, but was unsure 100 % as data is missing, today that GPS data has emerged, it is seen as the deformation affects all the south of the island, both vertical and horizontal. As soon as the radar interferometry comes out, we'll see what it really is.

The data specifically indicates a slight elevation of 2-4 cm (remember that it is still very deep) and a horizontal deformation that exceeds 4-6 cm in several stations corroborating that a new balloon of magma under the island swells up and their immediate consequence are the earthquakes that are these last few days., the last one is a 3.1

es2021tdsgb 28.5592 30/09/2021 08:23:57-17.8444 13 km M 3.1 mbLg N PALM FUENCALIENT. ILP

So the eruption continues and we have the lava pouring into the sea by the lavic canal that comes out through the lower mouth of the pyroclast cone and, - let it endure so for God, which in this way reduces destruction by flow, - and a column eruptive 3500 meters above the island that comes out of two pyroclastic mouths, totaling 3 mouths.

And of course, it will continue to pressurize and the earthquakes will follow, if it does not encounter much resistance, they will be of magnitude similar to the latter and if it starts to encounter resistance, the PICA PICA will start hitting harder until it leaves, able to rise in magnitude to 4 + in coming days.

I leave you a long time ago thinking about these things, and in which you reach a conclusion:

′′ One thing clear, not knowing is a recklessness and that results in a disaster ": my phrase. ... (Enrique)

Brilliant article about the eruption.

I just hope the man that lives on La Palma an Islander gets to read this and he was so adamant that Cumbre Vieja was not a Volcano he should know as he lives on the island.

Caution for air quality in Tazacorte and Los Llanos
Currently according to Copernicus 855 buildings have been destroyed and 126 partially damaged, total 981 buildings

Those responsible for the Special Plan for Civil Protection and Emergency Assistance for Volcanic Risk (Pevolca) have explained the latest data on the evolution of the La Palma volcano. In this way they have explained that the main current concern is focused on air quality after detecting in measurements in Tazacorte that permitted sulfur dioxide thresholds have been occasionally exceeded, hence it is transferred to the population who take extreme security measures with use of FPP2 masks and open spaces are used as little as possible and especially people with vulnerability, pregnant women, children and the elderly or with respiratory ailments.

The air quality in these areas has been occasionally exceeded, the experts have explained, but they have also clarified that if it is not maintained over time, no special measures will be necessary, but with the Weather of the next few days there may be a smell of sulfur in the surroundings of the valley and in areas such as Tazacorte and Los Llanos.

Therefore, precautionary measures with air quality are maintained, the explosiveness of pyroclasts is monitored and we are in the process of adapting measures to the current situation.

The confinement of San Borondón, La Condesa and Marina Alta and Baja will be maintained.

In addition, irrigators have been allowed access, between La Bombilla and El Remo and to the north of La Laguna Mountain, as well as agricultural harvesting tasks that will be extended to El Remo and La Bombilla tomorrow.

Access to homes has been allowed for urgent reasons but not for the collection of belongings. Neighbors have also been allowed to enter to feed the animals in areas less than 2 kilometers from the volcano.

Currently, according to Copernicus, 855 buildings have been destroyed and 126 with partial damage, a total of 981 buildings, but these are data that must be contrasted with the Cadastre and with the information of the neighbors

There are 186 evacuees and they are staying at the Fuencaliente hotel managed by the Spanish Red Cross.

On behalf of the Town Halls and the Cabildo, thanks are extended to all those who have collaborated by sending clothes or food and that it is no longer necessary for them to continue with these aid, but to provide financial aid through the accounts set up.

THE CHEAT ".- IN THIS LIFE YOU HAVE TO BE PREPARED.- LUCY JONES.-

Knowing the information about anything there is and that happens, is not done to alarm, is to know what to do when the time comes and not improvise at the last second which could be a problem. Between Mike and anonymous person who knows enough about the subject, they have been talking, the conclusion, we need to prepare more, right now we are not ready and what I bring you next, is a transcript of that interview, with some input from me, more That's interesting. (Enrique) :.

′′ The Trap ′′

Mike :- This post is more than anything else a Reflection, from the real preparation for volcanic risk in Canary Islands, from the point of view of a person who knows very well and is excited about everything related to the issue Security and emergency plans, and he told me clear they are not, we had a long conversation where we talked after the possibility of a volcanic eruption that would pass and as it would coordinate that operative and he told me that some municipalities put interest the rest goes all, then I put you said conversation giving me permission to put it public but having it in anonymity.
Anonymous :- We need much more training to better know where we live and discarded a consistent surveillance system. We're on a hyper-populated island, in case something fat happens to watch it evacuate. (TEXTUAL WORDS) Even if it was only from side to side of the island, our communications would collapse.

MIK3: - There is a lot of volcanic tourism like HAWAI Sicily and many volcanic islands and not why there is less tourism and they will not lose it, they will lose it every day that passes through the little information that exists in the Canary Islands, the volcanoes are not the dangerous, They are the ones watching them.

Anonymous: - Right. Apart from tourism that we could empower and scientifically not tell you, we could offer a more sustainable model that would paradoxically leave up to more benefits, and not economical if not scientifically. And add that to Level Emergencies, and if I tell you for real, what worries me the most is the chaos that could form in case something could happen. We have no conscience. We would collapse any resource, and I think there could be more damage from nervousness (collective hysteria) and what is done out of ignorance, than by the volcanic activity itself, I knew something but the truth is that I had never paid attention until an acquaintance told me something and i started researching on my own.

MIK3: - People on the island now say many have pneumonia, went to the doctor and did not give him a clear diagnosis, and it could be caused by gases emanating from different points of the island, don't you think?

Anonymous: - People are continually dizzy without knowing the reason, and with bad being and breathing problems. We always talk about Teide, but there are over 300 volcanoes on the island, and gases come out everywhere. I put you in situation that could occur, Look, I am passionate about security plans, emergency plans and the like, because at the time I collaborated in drawing up a draft of a municipality, we did an evacuation drill for volcanic risk, More than 90 % died in Him.

Note Enrique: - This dice does not surprise me, it is a criticism of reality and without blunt, so if the eruption is important I think it has fallen short. If you cut off the communication lines, and more thinking that during the 2004 seismic crisis, you worked with a scenario where you had to evacuate the entire valley of Orotava and Icod and didn't know how. It's been almost 15 years and we're still the same.

MIK3: - It would be important if you can and it's in your hand you do it, as Lucy Jones says if you're ready get ready even more prepared. Tenerife would be a mousetrap in the evacuation case, they want to sell it's all controlled, reality is quite different, we have much to do.

Anonymous: - See, Tenerife has two airports in terrible areas for many things In case of eruption they would be disabled, If there were an area of the island isolated by road, very possible if laundry crosses... The chaos of the highway of the mornings would be child's play that he would ride with. No known gathering areas are planned already. Municipalities have nowhere to house so many people. It's something I'm passionate about. But unfortunately I can only work it from the shadows

MIK3: - It's a shame, Reporting is not alerting is FORMING AND EDUCATING WHAT CAN HAPPEN. It's just thinking about it and it's creepy and a lot.

Anonymous: - We live on an island crossed by ravines on which we build roads. Are these infrastructures ready for the movements that could cause an eruption? Imagine a southern highway collapse in any of your ravines? There's just the alternative to the old boat road. Which dock accepts large-draught boats? Santa Cruz, The Christians and the Unfinished Grenadilla. Do you know how long it would take to evacuate with small docks? Not to mention we are a territory with a very large population also How do you evacuate geriatric with the special needs of those patients? Let's see. The Cabildo pulled a line for town halls under 20.000 inhabitants to draw up emergency plans, it's a step. But there isn't much will from some municipalities, making the matter more difficult.

MIK3: - Thank you very much for all the contributions, people should be aware of what you told me and I could pass on is very valuable information!
Anonymous: - And anything you can bring to help enchanted.

CONCLUSION: The dangerous ones are not volcanoes, they are the ones who monitor them and the politicians and other government officials who manage insufficiently monitoring them.

I say goodbye to this review from Lucy Jones: For scientists the ′′ Big One ′′ will happen with certainty, no matter how much the public wants to deny it ". With the eruption in Tenerife and elsewhere in the Canary Islands, it's the same. We tend to focus on earthquakes and volcanic eruptions that may occur in the next 30 years, perhaps we should focus on ′′ NOW ".
