Live Stream of La Plama Volcano Erupting Now.

Believe we're only seeing the beginning of this eruption as noted above. Land is still swelling upwards indicating still rising magma and pressure. I do believe people should a least pay attention as models are not reality but just best educated guessing - guessing which had volcanologists saying no signs of any eruption three days before eruption etc. Nature has nasty way of disproving modeling and experts.

Wow that's putting more greenhouse gas in the atmosphere then humans could in 10 years. I wonder how that affects climate change that humans have no control over? It's like even if humans stopped putting greenhouse gas in the atmosphere the earth would do it anyway. Almost like climate change is inevitably.

I'm good. I have my volcanic eruption vaccine.

We continue to be confident that a major, tsunami-generating, collapse is perfectly possible - even probable - at this volcano, whether or not any tsunami impact is localised or extended. WE DO NOT, HOWEVER, PROPOSE THAT IT WILL HAPPEN IN THIS ERUPTION. It is likely that when the west flank fails, it will do so during an eruption, but this could be 10, 30, or 50 eruptions down the line. The chances that collapse will occur during the current eruption are very small, but we cannot say they are zero.

Some will latch onto one sentence out of this paragraph and hold tightly for safety. Me I'll keep in mind its entire body which simple blunt words says "we don't know when - but it will" and act accordingly on the possibility rather than do absolutely nothing as most will probably do.

Someone once said "Its only a little rain"

cant seem to find any ongoing live streams. is anyone watching one?

I was about to say the same thing. Can't find anything anywhere

I can’t find one either. Although, La Palma was quickly mentioned on the morning news here in Boston.

currently pointed at structures and lava flow

Thank you!
Couldn't believe how quickly the whole eruption developed over 3 hours last night...but then we do have Mt St Helens! Hope this one doesn't go the same way

PS, Just watched the camera judder, think it was another EQ!

Here is another station that has live coverage.

OMG, I think a fissure or vent just opened up in the town!

I had a hard time finding a live stream too - thanks for the links. I thought there would be a few on the front page of twitch but no - just a few women licking a microphone for hours.

Anyway, I saw a pic of the eruption and the full moon. I wonder if the full moon could have brought it on like it effects the tides?
Volcanodiscovery has good updates. www.volcanodiscovery.com...

This eruption is much worse than 1970 and the one in the 40's could not have been too bad because it was just witnessed by a few people.

And yes, they did say another fissure would open or the current holes could get much bigger because there is a ton of magma underneath.

It should reach the ocean this evening. Look for expulsions or landslides. It also creates toxic clouds of tiny glass shreds.

Not good.

Not true at all.

There are several other volcanoes currently erupting arund the world that are much more intense and releasing much more gas to the atmosphere than this one.

This is normal and the CO2 from volcanoes are a drip in the bucket compared the amount of CO2 that human activity produces. Volcanoes are generally cooling events as a major eruption can cause dimming from the ash, especially if it makes it to the statosphere, which was observed when Mount Pinatubo blew.

phys.org...

Human activity churns out up to 100 times more planet-warming carbon each year as all the volcanoes on Earth, says a decade-long study....

Remember this is a tiny(so far) and compared to other current active volcanoes, it's emissions are quite small.

There is no basis for what you wrote and it is sad that other agree with your I'll informed opinion.

could it be that the big crack opened further releasing the magma? couse it looks like an fissure eruptun

I watched this live stream until late last night with the sound cranked up, hard to turn off—

I think it seems to have 'settled down' a bit going by the footage, not quite as volatile as it was 24 hours ago.

Thank you Violater1, much appreciated

Hey just thought I would let everyone know besides the USGS missing any quakes for the area 3 out of 5 of our tsunami buoys are not functioning as well.

I can pull up Puerto Rico & Fire Island, that’s it.

Yep, it did. According to twitter, there are now two volcanos. The one in the lower middle of the island and another one in a town. (This is twitter, so nothing official).

Someone from the government (hard to tell who exactly with the tweet translated) said they are planning on this being a long eruption. Didn't define "long". Lot's of complaints about the lack of 24 hour live streams. People are also starting to wonder if they should believe the officials.

I happen to think they should have started the evacuations a lot sooner. They are lucky it didn't blow up in the town first.

As a side note, I have no idea why I'm so interested in this but I am. I was on twitter Sunday morning reading about it when I saw all the tweets come in about the eruption. (Don't know what made me do a hashtag search of LaPalma right at that moment but I was there about five minutes before it happened).
