Massive Earthquake Swarm In La Palma: Upgraded to yellow alert

MASSIVE EARTHQUAKE SWARM IN LA PALMA, 350 EARTHQUAKES & COUNTING THE LAST 24 HRS [sic] All caps in original title.

The volcano on this Canary island is overdue and waking up. It has potential to create massive tsunami engulfing the entire Atlantic coastal regions, killing millions worldwide.

I can't help the religious overtones throughout this YouTube video, but this could very well be a biblical event.

The first video report I watched. It is better reporting than the Youtube video.
Bitchute

Is this the Island where it's could split in half and slide off into the Atlantic creating a potentially devastating tsunami for a number of coastal counties on both sides of the Atlantic?

never mind yes it is..




and here's Dutchsinse's take on it FWIW

"If "

Be prepared if you live on the East Coast.

What is a shield volcano ?


What " if " Mt. Fuji decides to feel the itch to move upward ? 32 million or more people would be affected.

Yes it is, but your post somewhat trivializes the amount of potential destruction that could, and most probably will at some point, result. Tsunamis along every Atlantic coast, high enough to wipe out everyone for miles inland on low-lying coastlines. Millions potentially killed.

There is nothing on any other geo sites that I can find.

A yellow alert should be noticed by everyone and yet no one has it listed.

So is this report real or not?

Has 2020 and 2021 got so bad you think this is the mega-tsunami scenario? Obviously, it could happen but damn I could hit the lottery tonight too.

Not to mention there isn't much I could do and I cringe thinking of crowded evacuation routes all across the Southeast US places I know very well and places I have friends and family in. Yes, millions would die. There wouldn't be enough time to warn everybody and even if we could it would be a massive traffic jam and chaos. I could see bad stuff happening at airports.




IIRC Florida would be swamped pretty much east and west coast maybe leaving the strip in the middle of the peninsula elsewhere Jacksonville, Savannah, Charleston, Wilmington far inland to Greenville NC. Then here comes the central and northeast coast with its heavily populated bay and rivers and harbors it would be Sandy times 1000 if not more. Hell Manhattan flooded with this last hurricane this would flow right up the Hudson River swamping the valley for dozens of miles or more, Philly, Baltimore New York Boston, and DC are all gonna be hit.

Wouldn't an event have to be large enough to register on the USGS to be worrisome?

A bit on Canary Island. Must be a beautiful place.

Several islands there actually. Very scenic, because of climate, some of the islands are tropical while others are dominated by deserts.

IIRC, the entire island chain now requires a C19 pass to visit.

ETA: realized article in OP refers to La Palma island, one of the islands in the group.

It was already noted that it was not being reported by USGS but for what reason, I don't know. Maybe they don't want to cause mass panic, since the east coast would not have enough warning for massive evacuations all the way 200 miles inland.

Yea I saw that I also posted Dutchsinse's thoughts and he wasn't dismissive at all. That said these seismographs are pretty much automatic and overlapping they would have to control quite a few of them.

Based on a study of past landslide deposits and existing geology of the volcano, Ward and Day (2001) suggest that the west flank of the Cumbre Vieja volcano may experience catastrophic failure during a future eruption, resulting in a landslide of a block of 15-20 km in width and 15-25 km long into the depths of the Atlantic Ocean. Computer modeling suggests that such an event could trigger a massive mega-tsunami hundreds of meter in height that would propagate to the north, south, and west. Within 9 hours, an estimated 10-25 meter wave could reach the US east coast

I love volcano doom porn; but, from your same source:

Although the flank instability of Cumbre Vieja is noted, many scientists tend to disagree with massive failure of the western flank of the volcano; rather, they think it would happen in smaller separate events that would not be capable of triggering a mega-tsunami (Wynn and Masson, 2003). There is much scientific debate over the timing of an eruption that would trigger such events (considered to be decades to thousands of years), whether or not a massive failure of Cumbre Vieja's flank would occur during an eruption, or even if a mega-tsunami could possibly result (and reach the United States with such projected wave sizes). Mader (2001) used different wave modeling and determined that the resulting tsunami waves that reached the U.S. east coast and Caribbean would be on the order of 3 meters. The International Tsunami Information Center provided the following information in regards to the creation of a mega-tsunami by massive flank failure:

While the active volcano of Cumbre Vieja on Las Palma is expected to erupt again, it will not send a large part of the island into the ocean, though small landslides may occur.

No such event - a mega tsunami - has occurred in either the Atlantic or Pacific oceans in recorded history.

The colossal collapses of Krakatau or Santorin (the two most similar known happenings) generated catastrophic waves in the immediate area but hazardous waves did not propagate to distant shores. Carefully performed numerical and experimental model experiments on such events and of the postulated Las Palma event verify that the relatively short waves from these small, though intense, occurrences do not travel as do tsunami waves from a major earthquake.

A 3 metre wave isn't quite as scary. Kind of a wait and sea situation.

Because it's volcanic activity would be my guess?

2.0 and below is not exactly big news...

Yea I think that could be it...

Haven't seen you here in a while did you take a break? hope everything is ok.

In “recorded” history, yes. Look at the north shore of the Hawaiian chain and what had happened there in eons past. It is a possibility that cannot be discounted.

LOL damn one of ya I'm downplaying it and the other thinks I'm saying it's gonna happen Doom Porn. But who isn't on ATS for doom porn of all varieties? and it used to be better we had people keeping you updated about all-natural disasters I can't remember their name but they always had great links and the earliest info. Hell, I miss that.

But I've been reading about La Palma since before Katrina, in one of my disaster books or maybe online, along with watch a 30 documentary on NatGeo or someplace like that

Nah just grab your board and you can catch a wave right to the new beachfront property.

This volcano had earthquake swarms last year too and no boom. This swarm is a little shallower but still relatively deep.

Highly unlikely an eruption is immanent as no deformation of the topography has been observed.

Before Mount St. Helens erupted, there were months of earthquake swarms that were increasing shallow and deformation (bulging) of the side of the mountain observed.

If this is the beginning of an eruption event, it is likely months away. If the volcano starts to show signs of bulging or other topographic deformations, then we have something to watch.

Shoot…I’m AT the new beachfront property! And I couldn’t surf to save my life. Literally.

Cumbre Vieja could be affected if Mid-Atlantic Ridge slips again though.
These days, anything is possible and nothing would surprise me.....
