Lava takes away the Todoque school
The new laundry entered the core of Todoque aggressively last Sunday and demolished, among other buildings, the church, the doctor's office and the neighborhood association


The lava flow from the Cumbre Vieja volcano, on La Palma, has demolished the Todoque school , in Los Llanos de Aridane, and continues to move towards the sea, as reported by El Time on its Twitter account.

The new laundry entered the core of Todoque aggressively last Sunday and demolished, among other buildings, the church, the doctor's office and the neighborhood association. The irruption came at a time when some neighbors were collecting some belongings from their homes, so they had to quickly leave the area.

Since the volcanic eruption began on Sunday, September 19, the lava has destroyed a total of 258 hectares and 686 buildings , according to data provided by the satellite of the European Union's Copernicus program.

28/09/2021 h Canary Islands. - LA PALMA ISLAND ERUPTION.- FOLLOWS DEEP SISMICITY, ERUPTION, AND PREVIEW OF THE
COLADES. - The 5 flows that slipped on the north side of the main laundry is moving in such a way that yesterday, the lava followed more or less the same path, affecting and widening north and that has come down and progress already to the Mountain of Allque.

Flows 2 and 3 have merged and along with the 4 south they have continued to progress more slowly, but nonstop. Both the flows on their journey has swallowed everything, all the way to Todoque school. Then spacious this with some maps, hope to get them out throughout the afternoon.

And if it were little, the volcano continues with specialized mouths and vomiting material based on good, about 50-70 m3 / s to the eye of good cubero and more that is on its way to judge by the deep seismicity under old summit and that the volcano has stopped destroying, to swell up a little bit and increase deformaicon. Stop, nothing at all, don't expect prolonged volcano stops. And an important fact, if you open a mouth further north, the lava laundry will take a new path to the Pedregal and to the south of locality La Laguna... and beyond.... my mother.. let's hope don't happen. This is hard.. (Enrique).

Lava is advancing at about 300 meters per hour and has slowed
The affected houses to date is 585 and 97 are in danger



The Technical Director of the Special Plan for Civil Protection and Attention to Emergencies due to Volcanic Risk (Pevolca), Miguel Ángel Morcuende, and the director of the National Geographic Institute (IGN) in the Canary Islands, María José Blanco. Both have explained the evolution of the volcano in the last hours with the latest news about the advance of the wash before its possible arrival at sea.

Regarding the possibility of reaching the sea of ​​the coladas, Morcuende said one more day that “we don't have a date or an hour, we are still waiting for what the volcano wants to do. Right now it is at the height of the path of the Plantillo, in an area of ​​bananas, which has resulted in a small toxic cloud ».

Magma comes from lower layers and is therefore more fluid. The lava emitting center is below the crater at 900 meters above sea level, with very steep slopes, which means that heat, plus a high slope, indicates that it is advancing at about 300 meters per hour. In the early stages the flow progressed very quickly but as time goes by the laundry cools and encounters obstacles and if you leave the highway on which it was initially, the flow slows down more. the consequence is a large enlargement of the flow itself.

The casting follows previous casts that favor a faster advance. The stream that advances is the one that comes out of the north franc. So far the data on affected homes is 585 and 97 in danger until yesterday. "Today the figure will rise, when we have the data crossed with the cadastre we will have updated data and there will be a significant advance in affected homes." There are about 300 people affected by the confinement of four towns in Tazacorte.

Miguel Ángel Morcuende has indicated that yesterday between 8 in the morning and 8:00 p.m. with very light activity, which confirms the very low amount of sulfur dioxide emitted compared to other days and the plume is above 4,000 meters.

Morcuende has also pointed out that the air quality is good, it is within the parameters of the area of ​​influence of the volcano. I operate, despite everything, the air quality is still good.

Regarding the flow, last night 4 localities of Tazacorte were confined due to the probability that chloridic acid would be produced when the magma touched the water.

A problem has been added because magma burns plastics in greenhouses and fertilizers, explosives, and at about 1:00 p.m. a cloud has been observed that has been diluted, with toxic elements. It has been monitored by the UME and has elements that can be toxic but only affect a radius smaller than the exclusion zone. Ammonia and boron chloride, toxic substances that have been diluted, have been observed.

People have been accompanied for the removal of belongings and they have been evacuated so that they do not suffer damage. There is no affection to people.

Attention is still recommended to homes within a radius of less than 5 kilometers from the volcano because there may be explosions and glass breakage. Be vigilant and stay away from windows.

Regarding the air, in areas close to the exclusion zone, be cautious and do not go down the street, wear masks and follow official recommendations from the Government and the Cabildo de La Palma.

It is recommended to read official communications and read instructions for the removal of ashes. The ashes have to be moistened for better handling and so that they do not affect the eyes and bronchial tubes.

La Palma is perfectly supplied, there are no supply problems, Morcuende explained. We do not need more blankets, clothes or toys, only Money to boost the local economy, because it is full normality. For that there are accounts to make donations.

Hawaiian behavior, with a predominance of lava effusion, previously had a more strobolian mechanism and now Hawaiian.

A toxic cloud forces firefighters to abandon their work in Tazacorte
This cloud forced the evacuation of people who were in the vicinity who had been authorized to remove belongings and perishable products

A toxic cloud forces firefighters to abandon their work in Tazacorte
Newspaper / EFE

The lava from the La Palma volcano , which is advancing towards the sea, has entered the banana plantation area and has burned plastics from greenhouses and fertilizers, creating a toxic cloud , already diluted, and that in the early afternoon. It has not caused harm or danger to people since it has remained within the exclusion zone. The firefighters of the Puntagorda Forestry Brigade, who were intervening in the surroundings, have had to leave the area urgently.


The direction of the wind and the direction that the ash cloud takes in the next few hours is also worrying, as it could end up affecting air traffic in La Palma, La Gomera and the west of Tenerife, the director of the National Geographic Institute (IGN) has warned. in the Canary Islands, María José Blanco.

This agency, after the increase in explosive eruptive activity on the morning of this Tuesday, has issued a new VONA notice for civil aviation (Volcano Observatory Notice for Aviation), due to the increase in the emission of ash, as well as the increase in the height of the ash cloud, which has reached 7,000 meters.

The lava of the last hours that the volcano has thrown since it reactivated on Monday afternoon has followed the previous lava flows, although it had a significant widening, and it is still unknown if it will reach the sea or if so when it will happen.

The wash has crossed the center of Todoque and has been located in El Pampillo, at a distance of approximately 2 kilometers from the coast, not in a straight line, but following the path of the prediction models that point to the area where it could end up falling to the sea.

The technical director of the Canary Islands Emergency Plan (Pevolca), Miguel Ángel Morcuende, has reported that the toxic cloud that emanated from the banana plantations, in which there was ammonia and boron trichloride, among other components that have been analyzed by The Military Emergency Unit (UME), forced to evacuate the people who were in the vicinity who had been authorized to remove belongings and perishable products.

Morcuende has indicated that the episode registered with "the small" toxic cloud can be repeated due to the material that can burn the lava but has insisted that it will not be affected beyond the exclusion zone.

NEW HAWAIIAN ERUPTIVE PHASE
María José Blanco explained that after a phase of practically inactivity that lasted more than ten hours, the volcano began to emit abundant lava this Monday afternoon from a "spillway" on the north flank of the emitting center that advanced rapidly through on top of previous casts, also thanks to its greater fluidity.

It is from this “leak” that the lava is pouring out, although there is still Estroimbolian activity in the main crater.

Thus, at this time, the Hawaiian or effusive phase predominates, in which the volcano only emits lava, in a context in which, Blanco stressed, it is normal for periods of increase and decrease in eruptive activity to alternate.

He has also warned that sudden explosions can occur again.

The director of the IGN in the Canary Islands has indicated that the estimated volume, through thermographic measurements, of the cone generated so far is 10 million cubic meters, and that its morphology continues to change constantly, with successive growth and reconfiguration processes.

As for the seismicity registered in the last hours, it has been located at a depth of about 10 kilometers in the Fuencaliente environment, in addition to some superficial ones in the area of ​​the cone.

Soil deformations continue to stabilize in the horizontal components and there has been a decrease in the vertical.

The sulfur dioxide emission rate registered on Monday "a marked decrease", around 567 tons per day.

AFFECTED BUILDINGS
The technical director of Pevolca, Miguel Ángel Morcuende, has indicated that the number of constructions affected by the lava amounts to 585, plus another 97 in danger.

He has advanced that this afternoon a count will be carried out and it is likely that this figure has experienced "a significant advance", given that the laundry has had "a widening" in the last hours.

28/09/2021 h Canary Islands. - PALM ISLAND ERUPTION.- FOLLOWS DEEP SISMICITY, Earthquake OF 3.3, THE SYSTEM PRESURIZES IN DEEP IN A SECOND WARM.- And to understand, this means there's more magma under the island looking for an exit about 10-11 km away. The first clear signal was yesterday at 4 am where this second swarm began and has since been taking intensity. The deformation has stopped coming down, to swell up a bit, we'll see what today's data says. Initially they gave him 3.5 and then they're down to 3.3.

This second swarm started with a 2.5-2.6 and went up towards a 2.7, then a 3.2 and a pair of 2.9 now a 3. 3.... we have new devil's staircase and seismicity comes until it breaks. Last time it went up to 3.8 (IGN) and 4.1 (Involcan) how far will it go up this time to the shooting Earthquake?
But there's another disturbing question, will it go up the same site or will it do it for a new fracture? In case you climb the same site this eruption will win in strength and time.... and if you don't climb this site, you will open a new airing point, although it must be said it appears to be coming from the same site, which I'm inclined to think more magma is on the way in this eruption.
