Volcanic activity in Canary Islands 2021

[jand]

When the volcano started erupting more late last night Tamara has already commented how active it became it seems part of the cone collapsed and sent more lava speeding down therefore an evacuation was ordered literally the people had only three hours notice to evacuate,

There have been 443 comments already on Facebook Volcanes y Ciencia Hoy far too many for me to add them all but interesting to read, Some are disagreeing with Enrique calling him an alarmist he does not know what he is talking about but the majority of people and the islanders are grateful to him for keeping them up to date.

Lola Nieves
We live on the shores of giant boilers, I can imagine what it was, and now we live a situation that leaves us engraved to blood and lava and that we will never forget, but this post now seems excessive, of an out of place drama is my feeling and I read you these days, but today I chirriaron your words and did not seem right, that's all, a greeting

María Del Mar Pérez
Lola Nieves Nobody likes to know the truth when it doesn't match what you want or need, but the only way to face it. If there's a minimum probability of serious risk, the only smart answer is to study it and prepare for the worst scenario (although the probability of materialized risk is very low). It's a basic principle in Security and Emergencies.

Camino Larrua
Lola Nieves your opinion is respectable, and even it's also respectable that you don't want to imagine or can't, but this post is absolutely out of place, nor is it excessive. It's tough, like the nature of this volcano. It's a scientific exposition, not a prophecy.

Hi Lola sorry if I got a little serious in the post, they are usually very relaxed, and nice but I need you to put your batteries in management for what comes, fatter than what there is and otherwise people could die for his lack of information... and that's not what happened, stupidity, I wouldn't forgive him.
If I know, nature is unpredictable, they say, but not so much and a volcano has the history it has and is usually known in advance, this volcano, Old Summit, let's say it has been through some phases.... more violent whose footprints have been stayed in the geological record of the island. Like this. this is small and is passing medium by its means, not the first, look at the mountain of Todoque or the Laguna, eruptions similar to those now, do not want to know what has been able to do one of the greats like It's from the Teide-PicoViejo Building in Tenerife.

Blanca Hernandez Veiga... I think he actually ignores what happened!!! I think so because I lived it on the front page and on my body without notice ⚠️. We were out of area 0, we had no information or previous meetings, no evacuation plan, nor was it expected to happen more than 20 percent 💯 and you say they evacuated from day 15 ?.?.
Madam, I don't know where the sources of information come from but I think even more hesitant to be here and can describe what happens here still understand, study and have facts statistics.
You will have a theory but I have a reality... and I think they are neither the best professionals nor even mediocre just many people with a big brain but they study hard and practice is null because fortunately we live on volcanic lands but very very seldom and pray that there is no more... where they are putting their knowledge into practice but they do not know the extent of this. It's a very big role where experience shines by its absence. Attentionly someone who has lost everything because allegedly no right to information we had for being an area excluded from the radius of possibilities 💨 😮. From this we will have to learn a lot and not only children, adults who were also children scared of something dantesco and fear every night and every day until this is over. Thank you Enrique because between so much ball and do not give one to the racket you said the assumptions and my and have been more accurate than lis foreseen by these say experts 😭🙏🏼⚠️

Yiniba Acosta Cabrera
Blanca Hernandez Veiga what are you talking fool? Who was evacuated and who was informed of anything? Stop saying stupidities that the one who doesn't find out ***** is you, the volcano erupted a kilometer from my house in a straight line and we were neither within the range of eruption nor evacuation, nor were we invited to meetings to find out how we had to act or anything at all, the helicopter was the morning of the static eruption over the area where it erupted from half past 10 in the morning because it had registered a high temperature in that area, said by the IGN representative herself the day after the eruption that in that area had recorded those changes and not communicated to the population and that they had not been wrong said, as if it were a triumph, mind-blowing that they did not upload the light to orange and avoid what we all went through and We suffered there, without time if not to run away, and 45 minutes before Mr Nemesio came out in a press conference saying that it was going for a couple of weeks if it eventually erupted... painful!!! Chapó for our politicians , town halls and cabildo but the alleged incompetent IGN experts from day one, only interested in studying this phenomenon and storing data not informing the population, so if you don't know what you're talking about better stay quiet!!


Ayoze Ferraz Garcia
Blanca Hernandez Veiga And who asked you for opinion? if you apply the ′′ out of the wheel towers very well ′′ thing you should shut your mouth and say nothing. Or do you have Pevolca friends and want to leave them well?. Because they look like parbulite kids reading the same report every day. The only one who provides technical data based on evidence and with the most updated data he finds is Enrique on this page.. it's the only one I've seen that has predicted Events, and doesn't devote to waiting for them to tell them later as you Dear Pevolca and more...

Hello Blanca, you have training and course in volcanic disasters management, in addition to several years training in geology, chemistry, vulcanology, hydrogeology and more. Tell them about the evacuation within 3 hours... Go explain it if they are so organized. A greeting. (Enrique)

Sonia Busquets Revuelta
What do those who called Enrique and Mike alarmists say now?
Mike left his skin warning about the emergency kit and laughed at him... well there you go..!!
Be prepared with lanterns and all you need, this is very serious and preventing is living...!!
Listen and read, don't wait until anyone has to take you out at night in your pajamas and with what's on..

90 hectares of razed banana trees, with a price of between 35 and 40 million
The Canarian Ministry of Agriculture estimates the loss of production due to ash at 80% in the Aridena Valley and 50% in Fuencaliente

The lava from the La Palma volcano has destroyed about 90 hectares of banana trees in the coastal area of ​​the Aridane Valley, «the most expensive in the Canary Islands and Spain « for the cultivation of this fruit and whose market value ranges between 35 and the 40 million euros.

The data has been provided by the Canarian Minister of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, Alicia Vanoostende, in the Plenary of the Autonomous Parliament questioned by deputies Jonathan de Felipe, from the Nationalist Group (CC-PNC-AHI), and Luis Alberto Campos, from Nueva Canary Islands.

Vanoostende has indicated that his department is conducting a survey of disused farms, as a land bank, to offer an alternative to producers who have lost everything, their housing and their livelihood.

However, it has warned that this is a "very difficult" search for the orography of La Palma, due to the scarce availability of land and the existing levels of protection, and has slipped the possibility of reclassifying land.

Apart from the disappeared farms, he pointed out that there are many others, south of the colada, that have been isolated and without water supply.

Vanoostende has highlighted the "diligence" of the Canary Islands Government in the fitting out of two portable desalination plants and has announced that next week a course will be organized with farmers and cooperative technicians on the use of desalinated water for irrigation, something to which in La Palma "we are not used to it".

Given the reluctance of Jonathan de Felipe regarding desalination plants, because they use "a lot of fossil energies", but above all because of the sodium chloride load in the seedlings and its impregnation in the roots, the counselor has indicated that various solutions are being considered. term.

Among them, a canalization from Fuencaliente and take it upstream to the Cuatro Caminos reservoir, or bring it from Cumbre Vieja, using a fire network and surrounding the volcano, or an underwater pipeline, although this option would depend on the evolution of the fajana.

The counselor has indicated that aid is being considered for possible losses of seedlings and for the replanting of farms in "the hypothetical case" that they cannot be saved with the desalination plants and with a tanker that is scheduled to arrive in the next few hours.

And he has also spoken of aid in the face of the probable fall of greenhouses due to the weight of the ash accumulated on the roofs.

Alicia Vanoostende has estimated at 80% the loss of production due to the ash in the Aridane Valley, and 50% in Fuencaliente and Tijarafe, and has added that consensus is being reached with associations and cooperatives on how to compensate these losses.

He has expressed his concern for the rest of the banana cultivation chain, which includes collectors, transporters, packaging, sale of boxes or phytosanitary products, and has guaranteed that the Ministry does what it can “so that it does not stop completely. ».

Regarding packaging, he has indicated that there are factories in exclusion zones, such as El Remo, and has acknowledged that there is fear for the future of this activity.

As for other crops, the counselor has indicated that in the vineyards there has hardly been an incidence due to the ash, since when the volcano erupted most of the producers had harvested; This is not the case for avocados, which had already come from "a complicated year" due to the heat wave and wind in August that ruined all production.

Regarding the effect of the ash in the future, he pointed out that at the moment "we do not know how long -the eruption- or its extent will last", and that it will depend on several factors, such as the amount that ends up in the crops and its composition .

In this sense, CSIC technicians are analyzing it to see its nutrients and its possible effects on the flora and crops of the island.

The counselor has also specified that the lava has buried five cheese factories, one of which was set up "in record time in two weeks" in another location, and that aid is being considered for the affection of the ash in the forage.

Regarding the fishing sector, it has indicated that there are 33 affected boats, 30 shipowners and between two and three sailors per boat, who had their fishing ground in the area of ​​the fajana, where they went for shrimp and for bait.

For now, Vanoostende highlighted, they will receive 2,500 euros per shipowner and 1,500 euros per sailor per fleet stop.

Beyond the reality of the primary sector, the counselor, who has received the support of parliamentary groups, has admitted that in this volcanic crisis the situation "is more difficult every day", since it has already caused "many losses and we do not know how many more »will provoke.

He understands that "the time has come to rethink the island, to rethink it in its entirety"

A Ryanair flight from Tenerife to Charleroi hit by volcanic ashes returns to departure airport


On 11 October, Ryanair flight FR8179, operated by Boeing 737-800 registered EI-ENP, departed from Tenerife South airport (TFS) at 18:30 (UTC+1), one hour after schedule, with destination Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL).

Shortly after takeoff, the aircraft was hit by ashes from the eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano in La Palma island. After a while, the pilots realised something went wrong with the engines and decided to return to TFS, where they landed at 20:30 after circling south of Fuerteventura island.

Several fire trucks were dispatched to the runway, but the aircraft landed safely. The engines had apparently been fouled by the volcanic ashes. It is doubtful that they can be used again. The aircraft is still at Tenerife South airport.

Ryanair sent a replacement aircraft (Boeing 737-800 registered EI-EGD) from Malaga to Tenerife and the passengers took off again at 00:20 (UTC+1) to reach Charleroi on 12 October at 05:25 (UTC+2), almost 7 hours later than scheduled, after a flight (renamed FR81) they will remember.

Latest update courtesy of Enrique

14/10/2021 h Canary Islands.- LA PALMA ISLAND ERUPTION.- 4.5TH AND 4.1TH MADRUGGED EARTHS, DEFORMATION UP 6-7 CM IN LP03 ERUPTIVE AREA) And more..- And we continue with this eruption, of the most normal according to some (I don't know where they see normalcy) where there are several things to highlight:

1.- The WARMER:

Follow the swarm, it is the first problem and indicates that it continues to pressurize and continues to rise, the rate of energy emission, after a break, retakes the alike path, we are now in 4.5 that came with 4.1 or more under the arm, it's a double sign... look at the Gomera Earthquake.
So far the most powerful seismic swarm I've ever followed was one of El Hierro that reached earthquakes of 5.1 in 2013 west of the island and this pint that could in a week reach similar values if you follow this path, what which is disturbing, as from 4.5 start to exceed the thresholds of accelerating the seismorresistant standard of buildings (between 0,04 and 0.08 a) and that may be a problem for many buildings that will be start cracking and if seismicity persists, even collapse. The largest death toll in the Canary Islands is due to seismicity caused by volcanoes and house collapses.
more: seismorresistent rule:

3.- THE TAILS.
I have not gathered much information I am in a huequito of a guard and a little more time I have left, and I know that they are advancing north, that have arrived at the lagoon Football field and that I think they are also advancing through other areas, this afternoon i will try to put a map as soon as i collect the data.

FAKE NEWS: Many photos and videos attributed to the palm are appearing, generally with very fluid lavas that are not typical of this volcano that correspond primarily to the Kilauea eruptions in Hawaii and other volcanoes such as Iceland in the Reyjanes Peninsula , also erupting for months.....
I keep editing the post (Enrique)

More evacuations.

Update to his post by Enrique.

Security forces, EMU, Civil Guard, town hall and Cabildo workers are getting their skin all over the world, while IGN people are merely covering the file and if they profit anything (like a post) better then it turns out they knew the volcano was going to erupt a week before opening and did nothing.
This IGN posture, the only thing that generates is uncertainty in all the people and this lack of security translates into fear, so bulos and rumors run like gunpowder, and if you put a map of deformations without leaking mistakes, the international press calls for a catastrophe of biblical dimensions and then there are sites like this alarmists. Take care of this a bit, fill up that you are in charge of Volcanic Surveillance since 2004 (and don't care).
The volcano continues to activate, every passing day is bigger, makes more magma and more gas but on IGN they shut up... and tell me it's normal... fill if you even have supersonic rays and waves that are seen in the clouds ... There's a piece of seismic-volcanic swarm under the island and they nab it as if it weren't important and it's one of the bombs that gives pressure and marches the magma of the eruption to the surface.. with earthquakes of 4.4 and climbing if no one remedies it... which by the way you can't. and of course they don't predict its duration, Involcan was the only one and pulled the only thing you could, statistic 55 days.. we've been 25. I can say from here that at least it will be 2-3 weeks....

Many will not understand this post, but it is that the volcano is taking a pile of SO2 gas and more.. that spread across the planet and the ash columns, are tremendous, today will be good lightning if the chopping of the ash and unfortunately if the magma keeps turning more and more acidic, clearer, with more gas and more powerful, we will enter the next thing of the volcano... the possibility of a eruptive cloud collapse than a burning or pyroclastic cloud And I don't want to see her or suffer. Could be very dangerous.

Lack of zeal, fearlessness, lack of experience or worse, the most utter ignorance of not knowing what they did by not putting the light on Orange before the eruption or putting the light on RED two hours after the eruption began, I headline all orders in the first two hours to all law enforcement, workers and inhabitants, good thing nothing happened, but it could have happened.

And so notice, the volcano is about to cross the line from an explosive phase to a dangerous volcanian phase, where collapses could occur in the eruptive column of ash that could in turn lead to a lethal fiery cloud (cloud or cloud) pyroclastic flow) able to kill whoever catches as it would go to 700°C. I hope they read me and take action. Alarmist... not... foreseeing. Warned they are, let them later say that nature is unpredictable. I already warned you.

4/10/2021 19:45 h Canary Islands.- PALM ISLAND ERUPTION.- NORTH COLADAS MAP - THE WARM GOES AS A SHOT MARKING THE STEP.- On today's lflow map , with 6 active areas or fronts moving forward more or less, what most catches my eye is flow 10 A, which has emerged from a very fluent overflow from the high area of the polygon and which has then fallen into the ravine, quickly coming down the same and touring the whopping 1200 m in just one day, overtaking even another flow that had almost stopped like the 9 E flow and continues to go down well fed by the volcano not for.. then i'll talk about him.

Then we have a second tongue, the 9 C flow that yesterday passed along to the SPAR Supermarket, but it has been swelling and expanding laterally, finally irreversibly affecting the building that has taken part of. That tongue keeps moving forward, nothing less than 250 m since yesterday. One good news is that the 9 D has stopped practically since yesterday.

Finally the 9 B area, a small finger has advanced, but it has practically stopped. Another small finger has appeared on top of the polygon and I named it after 10 B.

And this is not over here, because there is another front of flow more that no one talks about, one that has formed on old flow, which I have not yet named, since I do not know how far it will go, but it is going to Where Everything Was.

THE VOLCAN:

These days there is something that I am very clear, more material from the cone comes out, that gives it between 300-400 m tall nothing less, and more that is about to go on the way watching the deformation, SO2 gas and seismicity of deep swarm , tomorrow let's see what the deformation marks.. will mark what we're going to have very well.

PaSigo editing the post. That already has two times that I delete... (Enrique)
