Cumbre Vieja volcano post eruption phase! Time to say goodbye for volcano-thank you for all support :)

So much MAGMAH!

Indeed, apparently I was being too too kind. Meh, whatever. I rarely give red, but when I do it's for good reason, and I ALWAYS leave my calling card.

That lava is so damn close to hitting the ocean...

Normally, I'll make a one-line post of varying wittiness to try and keep track of where I am in a thread.

This one's moving too quickly. I'll start typing, hit the post button, and I'm three pages behind!

Someone go slow the eruption down so I can catch up after work.

Yeah, if this one goes they're going to try to keep the warning from getting out for as long as possible. They need as many people to die in place as possible. Something like 25%-40% of the US' logistics network sits directly in the affected zone of the worst case scenario.

Simply put, we'd be an instant 3rd world country if even 10% of the population of the direct impact zone got out. (Doing some quick head math 10% of the population in the direct impact zone would be more than the entire population of Syria Afghanistan and Iraq combined.

That's not even including the fact that pretty much everyone east of the Mississippi is turbo fucked because we'd have to move basically every bit of everything they need up the Mississippi for months to years to more likely A DECADE after the tsunami!

Also if you look at the number of EPA super fund sites and etc this would slam directly through you're talking tens to hundreds of trillions of dollars in cleanup before sea life might start coming back along the Eastern seaboard and gulf of Mexico

Plenty of work left for us to do here. We may not be able to alter the outcome for all, but we can help some. Sometimes you have to fight a losing battle or go into a losing fight because there is no other morally acceptable alternative.

“To rise up on the firing parapet and expose yourself to danger; to stand and fight a thousand miles from home when you’re all alone and outnumbered and probably beaten; to spit on your hands and lower the pike; to stand fast over the body of Leonidas the King; to be rear guard at Kunu-Ri; to stand and be still to the Birkenhead Drill; these are not rational acts. They are often merely necessary.”

- Jerry Pournelle

Seems so many things are coming together at once.

Like a confluence of collective misery upon humanity.

Thank you.
That's my thought process exactly.

Hit ya with some green.

Not good but the site was possibly compromised last night.

The ocean is now entering the volcano from different parts of the island through chambers and the steam that will be generated will be immense that eventually it will blow if it builds up under the magma this is now serious times for the island!

Quite the opposite, actually. This volcano is only one part.

I wonder why they are not live streaming anything from this point of view.

GLP effect is wobbly right now.....

Let me clarify my post.

Not resigned to go quietly into the night, but resigned to fight out the long haul.

I hear ya on that kinda does feel that way. As long as there are still good people out there and there are..there is hope. Maybe some crappy things need to happen to get people to refocus on the truly important things

I was joking,

This is definitely a somethingburger with bottomless fries

Wow she’s letting off some mighty bursts right now

Each surviving state would go into survival mode as the millions of escaping refugees came pouring in. It would be total chaos.

.

Unfortunately, I have to agree LJ. So much happening and nothing we can really do except sit, watch and warn.

Ive been lurking since page one. So much yes!

Am I hearing a cat?

Yes, you just explained very well how I feel as well.

Its like the doom from all angles is just going to be very difficult for humanity as a whole to come through the other side ok.

The earth is in extinction phase and trying to right herself. Humans are way too arrogant thinking they are above the forces of the universe and...well shit here we are on the edge of the cliff about to be kicked off!

The kitty meowing on the feed has my kitty alerted, and concerned.

What is it showing? idk how to read those yet haha

I never saw it as a kid, well at least maybe I just blocked it out. But yes you are correct, it isn't very fun these days at all.
