Volcano and Earthquake watch

[krtek a houby]

Glad nothing seemed to come from it. 6.8 is pretty strong.

Yeah, the scales of tremors here are a bit confusing. It depends on the type of quake. Some feel like the building has been kicked in the side, others are more like shaking. We had one closer to home Monday morning which ensured an abrupt waking and diving under the sheets. Like that's going to help

And it's your favourite weather, too! Clouds

Any possibility of thunderstorms and blizzards, do you think?

Hopefully.

Fuck me I hope they have a motor on that boat.

 

[teqniq]

Indeed, they are too close.

A nice picture of Stromboli.

 

[StoneRoad]

The Stromboli eruption on Wednesday / 28th August included, unusually, a pyroclastic flow down the NW flank of the cone, which was fairly weak and didn't go far out to sea before collapsing. Luckily for then people in that boat ! The ash column got to c2km. No lava this time, as far as I have been able to find out.
All rather violent for the normally gently behaved "Lighthouse of the Med" which normally chucks "bombs" out, which tend to fall down the Sciara del Fuoco (Stream of fire) the depression / scree slope on the Northern flank of the cone.

Reports on some more research regarding Anak Krakatoa's "little" spat on 22 December 2018 (I'm not forgetting the loss of life and all the other damage - it could have been much worse).

Volcano's tsunami trigger was 'relatively small'

New Zealand volcano: 'no survivors' on White Island, police believe – live news

Poor bastards fried by a pyroclastic cloud, I guess [edit: hydrothermal blast apparently]. Had mates who visited Whakaari as part of geophysics and said it was a scary place (and I'd accompanied them to all sorts of volcanic areas in NZ, incl some fun at Ruapehu in the 90s.) Unbelievable that 10,000 tourists go a year. This is what happens when no insurance is required for tour operators as no party in NZ can be sued for negligence causing death or personal injury.

Warning levels raised just three weeks ago Volcanic alert level rises on White Island

 

[StoneRoad]

Walking on or in a live crater when there is a raised risk level for eruptions is not sensible.

You'd never catch me doing that.



(That's me, doing that)

It took a whole 12 months after I took this photo to erupt.

I've been there. I was quiet scared tbh

More studies ref anak Krakatau (working out where the "missing" mass had got to after last year's eruption)

Friends were watching one of the "journey to the centre of the earth" films a few days ago.

The protagonists were in a "war canoe" being paddled to an island, they then walked into a crater.
From the profile and some later shots it looked very, very like Whakaari ...

There is also a timelapse of Popocatpetl eruption

Ta'al this time, or rather, again. Ash plume on Sunday 12th and lava on Monday 13th Jan 2020. See 2nd image pair. Plus there is a lightning timelapse.

Taal volcano: Lava spews as 'hazardous eruption' feared

Authorities have warned that a "hazardous eruption" could take place "within hours or days".

The Philippines volcano emitted a huge ash cloud on Sunday, and started spewing lava the next day.

Just seen on C4 news there has been a 7+ quake in the Caribbean. An under sea one at shallow depth. Let's hope that it isn't serious

Tsunami warning of up to 1m for Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, and Cuba (the arrival time for the first two has just passed already), Honduras, Belize and parts of the Mexican coast.

Tsunami waves have been observed.

Was looking to see if the Beeb has any coverage - nothing (yet) as at 20:30
