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

This feed shows a good portion of the new vent:

 

You can see the black smoke/ash being ejected from the new rear vent, behind the cone of the main lava erupting vent, as well as the two smaller vents in front of the main cone/vent, in this feed:

That new rear vent went from black smoke to violently spewing lava very quickly.

The Junta de Andalucía has announced that it is preparing a large regional emergency drill for October in which the response in the event of a catastrophe in the event of earthquakes, tsunamis or floods will be tested.

The exercise, which is unprecedented in the region and which has been called 'Response 21', will take place on October 19, 20 and 21 and will recreate three emergency situations such as a major earthquake in eastern Andalusia ( Almería, Granada and Málaga), a tsunami in the Gulf of Cádiz (Cádiz and Huelva) and serious floods in the provinces of the Guadalquivir Valley (Jaén, Córdoba and Seville),

Never before has such a comprehensive and ambitious exercise been convened in the autonomous community that combines so many scenarios and possible risks."

"This represents an organization and planning challenge in terms of collective security unprecedented in the Andalusian community

The exercise will take place over three days in three different scenarios focused on specific risks, in order to have a global and multisectoral vision that tests the response and service mechanisms for citizens.

Thus, on Tuesday, October 19, a possible seismic movement that will affect eastern Andalusia will be recreated.

One day later, on Wednesday, October 20, the timeliness and effectiveness of the Contingency Plan will be measured against the risk of Tsunami

Finally, on Thursday, October 21, the Plan against Flood Risk in Andalusia will be launched

 

4.9m earthquake this evening:

 

Yeah its been rumbling last few months but its a very active volcano...something woke it up for sure....


I see on the IGN earthquake page the sea between la palma and tenerife is getting rattled with more smaller earthquake, possible that the magma is being drawn from there to la palma, that means potentially larger earthquakes for that area..

 

How freaky is this...all I could think of was "And the sea shall give up its dead"

Japan mystery as ghost ships rise to the surface off island following volcanic activity
SEVERAL ships sunk as part of the bloody US assault on Iwo Jima at the end of World War 2 in 1945 have risen to the surface following a sudden bout of volcanic activity in the chain of islands due south of Tokyo.

La Palma update...no end in site..

The eruption, now over a month old, continues without significant changes, and no soon end in sight.
However, at least visually, the intensity has been lower today so far compared to last night. Ash emissions been decreased and stronger trade winds bring much needed relief to the Ariadne Valley.
The active lava flows unfortunately continued to advance and reached the center of La Laguna, where more and more buildings and structures fall victims to it.
Volcanic tremor remains high, with little change, suggesting that magma flux remains in the same order as during the past weeks. The new vent southeast of the main cone, which had been seen appearing or reactivating itself and erupting ash plumes last Friday, is active again, according to reports, ejecting some lava material as well. The more lava erupts from this vent, probably the better for the endangered areas along the northern margin; if it starts to produce lava flows, they are likely to remain on top of older flows.
Other parameters show little variations as well that could point to important changes: Earthquake activity remains elevated with more than 100 quakes above magnitude 2 recorded during the past 24 hours, slightly more than average. Ground deformation remains stable, with no clear trend towards in- or deflation visible at the GPS stations.
