not good

That's all you can do. They will thank you for warning them if this turns out to be a real issue!

People need to keep in mind that with Mount St. Helens it was rumbling for several weeks before one strong quake dislodged the side of the mountain and it blew out sideways.

Similar historical reports exist for both Krakatoa and Tambora in what is now Indonesia (Tambora believed to be the largest reuption in the last 2000 or so years).

Ditto for Mt. Pinatubo in the Phillipeans, which is the largest or second largest eruption since Tambora.

In other words do NOT expect a MAJOR event IMMEDIATELY on LaPalma. It needs to fester and build up a "head of steam" so to speak before it will do anything serious.

How long?

Based on history I would say a minimum of 2 weeks to 3 weeks, if Tambora and Pinatubo are any indication 6 to 8 weeks.

===============================================

It would be nice to know if Geologists have determined if the Island of LaPalma IS CRACKED all the way across, like the big island of Hawaii is, ... which would facilitate an entire portion of the island splitting off and falling into the sea. Maybe somebody can chime in with that research.

Hope it doesn’t come to that

As you can see mag above 2 quakes are starting to hit at 7 km depth

Beat me to it!

I like your style.

Another quake of 2.7 magnitude hit at 7 km depth

I would say, its probably nothing, but we are in 2021 and right after 2020 everything has gone so who knows?

WOW! Comparing this latest picture with the one in your original post on page 1, it is obvious that either this whole section is primed to break and slide right off or the volcanic eruption and magma event is going to be occurring on the Western side of this island which is the worst possible scenerio for the United States East Coast, correct? That is a terrifying picture actually!

Quake depth has been steadily decreasing, which probably means that magma is rising.

Sorry if this was posted, I didn't have time to go thru 28 pages, but this video is from yesterday so up to date ...

I would usually say the same as these pre-doom threads fester for a few hours and eventually die off. This hasn't lost steam and seems to be increasing in intensity every day. (well day 3 now)... The swarm is shifting west and the depth is moving close to the surface. The hope is that it's nothing, but we'll need to keep a close eye on this for at least a month.

Big green spike again at around 8:41 pm UTC time

The fact that this is at orange is concerning. Imminent means it's going to happen and not later!

I am not saying to panic over this, but definitely worth watching. A mega-tsunami that the ocean pulled out of its ass is not a surprise I want in this lifetime.

what size tsunami are we talking?

Good info.

Like Mt St Helens--something to keep on the radar and have an eye out for possibly into the longer-short term.

Nothing like we've ever seen before.

Man...it really isn't.

This is the Final Days we are into and there is definitely a very specific verse in Revelation that matches up to CV happening as forewarned.

There is more reason to believe it will happen and we are indeed watching it before it does than there is to think this will piddle away back into nothing.

Don't you mean West,or are they not within 12 miles or so from the ocean shoreline?

A couple of years ago, when LaPalma was active, someone somewhere put out a video that simulated the tsunami from this event ... how it would affect the East Coast, and how far up in elevation one needed to be to escape the worst of it.

Does anyone remember this video and where to find it? I'm in the foothills of North Carolina, about 1600 ft above sea level - is that high up enough and far inland enough?

I have been in the foothill,off and on,and with the knowledge and teaching at glp over the years, I always felt safe there. I'm back on coast, and missing those mountains every day. I think you're fine.

There is plenty of land (all sized acreage) here in Caldwell County for sale. Come on back!

Latest earthquake

Magnitude 3.0 at the depth 9 km

I'm not sure how far inland it'll go, and will be safe to be, but my understanding is the initial wave created at the impact site would be 15,000ft high, but by the time it travels to the US East Coast, it'll have diminished to about 150' high.

While that is a drastic decrease, 150' high is still a mega tsunami and will destroy and kill a lot in its path once it hits land.

If you're 1,600ft above sea level, you should be good. STILL......it doesn't hurt to have a contingency plan and a bag ready to go just in case!!

Nothing will happen.

I think you need to be 200 Feet above sea level that video you speak of is posted on the first couple of pages in this thread but I have a link.
