Will the gods accept trans-virgins?

We had a two foot tsunami warning on the Washington state coast line yesterday.

All the coastal cities have evacuation protocols and dozens of warning horns.

School kids have tsunami drills where they have to walk up big hills next to their schools.

We are waiting for the Big One. The subducting Pacific Coast Plate has been locked under the Continental Plate for a couple centuries. It will not be pretty when it finally slips.

Did I forget to mention that if Mount Rainier ever blows out on the northwest side, it will instantly melt trillions of pounds of snow which will flow down a river basin right into downtown Tacoma?

Thanks for the work. Best explanation of the event I have seen.

Thank you for this article and links. Been reading as much as I can, hoping to learn more about this one and volcanoes in general. Praying for Tonga and the island nations..

Most recent satellite photos show that the 2014-15 cone is no longer present.

Anytime they get chucked in a volcano is good. Whether it appeases the volcano god is irrelevant.

This is being compared to El Chichon which blew in Mexico in 1982. The ash cloud cooled the planet enough to cancel the warming from the 1982-83 super El Nino (the strongest El Nino recorded). The heights of the plume seem to be about the same, 30 km, although I only saw one source with 30 km. VEI 5

Not as big as Pinatubo, VEI 6. Also the eruption was far Southern Hemisphere, so it will take a while to get the global stratospheric warming and tropospheric cooling. No doubt that will all be blamed on "climate change".

We lived in the shadow of Pinatubo for a couple of years.

No doubt that will all be blamed on "climate change".

It will become part of Greta's standard stump speech.

Those islands in the middle of the ocean? Yeah, that’s how they came to be. The Earth did Earth things, and there you go.

Reeducation camp for you!

How dare you claim that mother Gaia might be in any way responsible for CO2, dirty clouds in the sky or more land for humans to live on one day.

Just like viruses do virus things, puny humans be damned.

This must have put up the same amount of CO2 as all the world’s automobiles do in 2-3 years. All volcanic eruptions put out massive amounts of CO2.
_______

THOUGH-
There is no question that very large volcanic eruptions can inject significant amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens vented approximately 10 million tons of CO 2 into the atmosphere in only 9 hours. However, it currently takes humanity only 2.5 hours to put out the same amount.

Are any of the greenies protesting Mother Gaia for destroying “irreplaceable” coral reefs and pumping CO2 into the atmosphere?

I’ve seen videos of cruisers sailing in Tonga and they have mentioned that it is advised not to sail over the underwater volcano there.

I can understand why. It would be a real Jimmy Buffet moment to be caught when it blew.
