Something Strange With Volcano Eruption in Chile

What appears to be an enormous ash cloud rising from the eruption of a long dormant volcano named Puyehuein southern Chile on June 4, 2011, isn’t quite matching up with the location of the recorded earthquakes today in the immediate area.

“The Cordon Caulle (volcanic range) has entered an eruptive process, with an explosion resulting in a 10-kilometer-high gas column,” Chilean state emergency office said.

The thing is, for some unknown reason, as of this writing, eight earthquakes near magnitude 5 have shook the earth near the Puyehue volcano. The problem is, the earthquakes are located 20 to 40 miles away from the eruption! Very Strange Indeed. (Strange because one would think that the earthquakes associated with a given erupting volcano would be very close to the volcano itself. Instead, these strong quakes are apparently tectonic.)

There’s something brewing or interacting quite a distance from the eruption, but is quite obviously directly related. We’re talking about enormous energies here.

In addition, apparently the volcano itself has not erupted from it’s old caldera. Instead, it has ripped a huge gash into the surface of the earth 6 miles long by 3 miles wide, 2.5 miles away! Amazing.

Thousands of people are being evacuated from the area, which is located about 60 miles northwest of San Carlos. The region was deeply shaken by a pair of very strong earthquakes during 2010, a magnitude 7.1 and a very large magnitude 8.8 quake, all located along the Pacific Ring of Fire.

Chile’s chain of about 2,000 volcanoes is the world’s second largest after Indonesia. Some 50 to 60 are on record as having erupted, and 500 are potentially active.

The ash plume has now reached Argentina.
The eruption apparently extends to the Caulle Mountain Range, an adjacent volcanic fissure.

Currently, Puyehue has an eruption rating of VEI-3 (Volcanic Explosivity Index). The last time that this volcano blew it’s top with a VEI-3 was during 1929, when it erupted for 3 months between December and February. How coincidental is it that it occurred during the ‘Great Depression’. Did you know that home values now during 2011 have dropped lower than during the Great Depression (about 31%), but we’re supposedly not in a depression? But I digress…

Why post about volcanic eruptions like this one on a ‘survival’ site?
Answer: To illustrate how we become complacent. This volcano has been inactive for decades, and then suddenly, ka-boom. We must realize that we are just tiny specs of life living on top of a thin crust of shifting solid earth, and at the mercy of mother nature. It’s always stunning to observe the power that lies beneath our feet.

Nope, also didn’t get the memo that socialized medicine is good for America, but do hope recycled-Romney gets the memo he is out of the race... again.

Oh, I know that. I am sorry—my last post should have been a general one...not directly pointed at you.

Its just that volcanoes are nothing new. If one appeared in the Appalachians, THAT would be news.

The world is a big place, and stuff is happening under us all of the time. The fact that the earthquakes don’t fit the “normal” locations of the past does not mean they are a sign of the end of the world.

Some folks are just looking for dots to connect, rather than standing in awe at the power of nature.

We had a tornado sweep though Western MA last week. Normal? Not all. But a once every 30 year type of thing...yup. And it was truly an awesome display of nature.

If something strange were going on they would be erupting downward, so as long as they erupt upward it is business as usual.

Ahh, but what if this is actually the downward eruption of a volcano...ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD!!1!1!!111!1

Thanks for the ping Quix. I fully expect to begin seeing things like this on an ever increasing basis from here on out. For now it’s just watch and wait.

If a tornado hit Antarctica that would really be news!

i was discussing that exact thing with a fella today.

The paper say a summer equal to or hotter than 2009 (68 triple digit days). We need something extraordinary to help us out.

“I wish it would erupt so we could get some global cooling here in Texas.”

I’ll trade you two global coolings from Idaho for one global warming. You can have a bunch of our rain as well....

Everything continues as it always has.

Actually it does - we're still all in God's hands.

All you really gotta worry about is being Ready To Go, and that's regardless of any End Times. We're all in our own personal End Times anyway.

I would recommend complete panic. Make sure you send me all your money, you won’t be needing it anyway.

Please freepmail me your bank routing numbers so that I may transfer my entire inheritance ($7,000,000. US). Due to international banking regulations, for you to be a party to the transaction, you must have holdings at my Nigerian bank of $100,000 or more - I will send you instructions on where to wire the money. Please hurry we don't have much time.

I reckon that not only is this Bush's Fault, as you accurately point out, but it also puts Chile 24,612 years behind in it's greenhouse gas and carbon emissions quota.

These Latinos! Are they totally unaware of Al Gore? OTOH, his posterior has grown so large that he may well be capable of "sitting this one out, " I.e., sitting on it anbd putting it out. Let's get him down there right away.

>> What’s up with that?<<

Remember that there is a natural cycle of pressure and release of built up pressure. I think we will see a slow ramping up of occurrences for a period of time before we can say that it’s a significant evidence of end times. We need to be a little cautious about giving what may be normal events more attention regarding end times. It’s not because we are timid but because we must be sure.

9.0 earthquakes are not unusual in the history of the earth. There’s evidence along the Washington-Oregon coast of several such earthquakes in the past 1,000 years. In the Ring of Fire such a thing is not unexpected in the least and anyone who does not think this can happen in that region is in for a potential surprise.

Thanks for the ping!

Good to keep up to date on the earthquakes/volcanoes acting up.

It’s does seem to be accelerating with everything happening at the same time.

It doesn't look too good for us if you believe the propeller head's forecast. Bring on the eruption so I don't have to take out a second mortgage to water the lawn.
