Some links to Drone Videos from today. Antonio is still trying to upload, despite the fact that its highly illegal to fly there. Property owners are requesting checks on their properties.

The Police are very helpful, allowing people to quickly return to properties to get some valuables.

I am so sad, I know these roads, And I know that this is still early.
Hearing predictions of 1 week minimum, 1 month maximum is devastating.

LA PALMA ISLAND ERUPTION.- CGE STRENGTH, TREMOR SIGN IS INTENSIFIED AND DEFORMATION REACHES 30 CM.- The eruption far from stopping, increases its activity, as reflected by the tremor which is increasing, in line with the gas measure, as the amount of SO2 estimated by Involcan has increased and finally the radar interferometry mark as the dam is warping the island and how it is affecting it.. now I'm commenting.
At the moment we have a main flow heading towards the sea at about 200 meters per hour and two lateral laundry backward moving slowly, (this doesn't come out in the media) expanding the destruction zone. It is estimated that we have nearly 200 houses destroyed and many to come. Courage. (Enrique)

LA PALMA ISLAND  ERUPTION.- CGE STRENGTH, THE TREMOR SIGN IS INTENSIFIED AND DEFORM REACHES 30 CM.- The eruption far from stopping, increases its activity, so reflects the tremor that is increasing , consistent with the gas measure as the amount of SO2 estimated by Involcan has increased and finally the radar interferometry mark as the dam is deforming the island and how it is affecting it.. now I'm commenting.

On the map of radar interferometry, Sentinel-1 interferogram spanning the 14th-20th of September (ascending orbital pass) is seen in the south area perfectly as intruding or entering the magma dam, as if was a balloon under the island and as there has been a broken ground or line of fault where it is intruding the dam and by which it is erupting.

I marked the starting 3.8 where the eruption began and as it stretches toward lower heights towards the NW opening new mouths. I also highlight yesterday's 3.8 Earthquake, at the extension limit of that area that is inflating and opening deep.
Therefore I do not rule out that new mouths continue to be opened towards the NW if the pressure increases (Tremor and seismicity) and that we have eruption for a while, because it does not loosen, it will still squeeze something else in view of the data.
At the moment we have a main flow heading towards the sea at about 200 meters per hour and two lateral laundry backward moving slowly, (this doesn't come out in the media) expanding the destruction zone. It is estimated that we have nearly 200 houses destroyed and many to come. Courage. (Enrique)
