Alert: Volcano eruption in La Palma could result in mega-tsunami

GutnTog, who is either German or Austrian, has been posting videos from La Palma. His latest video was filmed last night, close to midnight, from the town of La Laguna. You can see that the church is open. He said that in the capital Santa Cruz, they had been praying to Our Lady of the Snows at the Marian Shrine and had held a procession there. Here's the video. The sound is not so good.

 

looks like portions of the mountain are just crumbling….

 

BREAKING NEWS!! LA PALMA UPDATE!! NEW VIDEOS SHOW SHOCKWAVE & MASSIVE SMOKE PLUME!! VEI RAISED TO 3!

GutnTog may be Catholic. He posted this video today. It's the church dedicated to Our Lady of the Snow. Lovely church and nice video.

 

Bushcraft Bear noted that he's been feeling earthquakes up to 4.5 magnitude. After posting his latest video, he pinned a warning to the page:

ATTENTION!!! IGN warns of possible Intensity 6 earthquakes; the maximum has been 5 so far.

If that's the case, it's reaching the intensity where you can see structural damage in many buildings.

 

Not good.

 

Will the island be completely uninhabitable in a few months?

Doesn't it seem like an ominous increase in volcanic activity all across the world? I don't remember anything like this in the past.
