Another 116 earthquakes hit southern part of La Palma in 48 hours – That’s more that 230 in 4 days! Subsidence detected! Get prepared for the tsunami! Sulfur dioxide cloud reaches Venezuela

earthquake swarm south of La Palma Island
More than 350 earthquakes hit south of La Palma volcano within 3 days.

The seismic activity continues in the south of La Palma. In the last 24 hours, more than 116 earthquakes have been recorded by IGN. The current swarm has started 4 days ago, when another 115 rattled the same area within 24 hours.

Seismic activity 4-5 October

75 earthquakes have been located in the southern part of the island of La Palma between October 4 and 5.

Seventeen of them have been felt by the population. A maximum intensity of III-IV (EMS) has been reached in the epicentral zone of two M3.7 earthquakes that occurred at 14:30 UTC and 18:58 UTC.

An increase is observed both in the number of earthquakes and in their magnitudes with respect to previous days. 7 of the recorded earthquakes had a magnitude greater than or equal to 3.5 (mbLg).

As in previous days, most of the seismicity is located 10-15 km deep, in the area where the swarm began on September 11, although 7 of them are located deeper, between 25 and 40 km.

The mean amplitude of the volcanic tremor shows a slight progressive increase since yesterday morning. No large pulses were recorded in the last 24h.

The column height measured at 7:30 UTC is 4,000 m, showing a slight descent of the eruptive cloud.

Seismic activity 5-6 October

41 earthquakes have been located in the area affected by the volcanic reactivation of Cumbre Vieja, a lower number than the two previous days.

Six of the earthquakes have been felt by the population. A maximum intensity III (EMS) in the epicentral zone was reached by a M3.5 earthquake at 12:14 UTC.

Five of the earthquakes were greater than M3.5. Most of the epicenters are located 10-15 km deep, except four that hit 35km depth.

The mean amplitude of volcanic tremor remains stable in a medium range of values ​​with respect to the observations measured during this eruption. No intensification pulses have been recorded in the last 24h.

The column height measured at 6:30 UTC is 3,000 m, showing a slight descent of the eruptive cloud.

Meanwhile, a cloud of sulphur dioxyde from the eruption has already crossed the Atlantic and is about to engulf Venezuela!

Subsidence and deflation

The island’s network of permanent GNSS stations shows slight deflation in the vertical component of the stations near the eruptive centers. These results are consistent with those obtained by InSAR, in which a possible subsidence is observed.

Surface Subsidence and Tsunamis

Scientists believe that the height of the tsunami caused by the Sulawesi earthquake in 2018 was higher than that estimated from the magnitude of the earthquake.

In a report, they investigated the traces of subsidence and the characteristics of the tsunami incidents in the bay far from the epicenter.

Subsidence was observed at a minimum of seven points along the coast. And in accord with the reports of eyewitnesses, this suggests that subsidence might have generated tsunamis.

And this may play as well for La Palma!

The figure below compares the last two historic eruptions (San Juan in 1949 and Teneguía in 1971) in La Palma with the current one. In just 15 days, in terms of lava emission, the new eruption has far surpassed the previous two:

I would really prepare for the worst case scenario now! Be ready!

    • Hearing buttclown radio news joke-hosts talk about insurance companies wanting proof of suicide shots. Even for spouses. Beast system tactics. Mass Rebellion and Revolt imminent.

      Do NOT comply. Never bend a knee to satanists!

  1. Single Mom Makes $89,844/Yr in Her Spare Time on The Computer Without Selling Anything. you can bring from $5000-$8000 of extra income every month. working at home for 4 hours a day, and earning could be even bigger.

    The potential with this is endless… https://bit.ly/Oldprofit

  2. May as well make a prediction. 10/31/21. It’s a satanist buttclown high holiday. Probably see some heavy volcanic activity then. Maybe even a landslide tsunami.

    • Subsidence detected though. Plus earthquake swarms. Plus new volcanic activity. This one may grow legs. It’s not obvious fear mongering. I don’t think so on this one.
