Seismic activity is slowly moving towards the southern part of La Palma. This is where a giant landslide could trigger a devastating tsunami.
Within the last 2 days, more than 115 earthquakes have been located in the southern area of the island of La Palma. Twelve of them were felt by the population and even four reaching an intensity III-IV in the epicentral zones. The largest earthquake, a M3.7, occurred at 19:14 UTC yesterday evening.
Something big is brewing! This guy even suggests a new volcano could soon start erupting on the southern part of the island… Terrifying, no?
As in previous days, the depths of the hypocenters are between 10-15 km with the exception of 6 earthquakes that hit at greater depths (30-36 km). This new swarm rattles the same area as the seismic series in 2017, 2018 and 2020.
The mean amplitude of the volcanic tremor has presented has presented different pulses in the last two days, coinciding with the moments in which the activity on the surface intensified.
The column height measured at 5:30 UTC is 4,500 m, a similar value on the previous days.
The Cumbre Vieja volcano on the Spanish island of La Palma is now erupting even more aggressively after weeks of gushing lava, Spain’s Instituto Geográfico Nacional (IGN) said Sunday.
Lava from the La Palma volcano has reportedly increased the size of the island on the western shore by 30 hectares. Streams of lava have been spilling into the Atlantic Ocean following the eruption.
The volcano’s activity “continues to be intense” and a new crater was discovered Saturday, the Canary Islands government and IGN said in a joint statement.
The 1929 tsunami came from an undersea quake about 165 miles away. That is more believable than a landslide over three THOUSAND miles away having enough energy to create tsunamis along a multi-thousand mile arc.
“Seismic activity is slowly moving towards the southern part of La Palma.”
Where? Could you elaborate, blogger?
“This is where a giant landslide could trigger a devastating tsunami.”
Again, could you elaborate, blogger? Be more specific as to scope? Who geographically would be affected and how? No, the next paragraph doesn’t answer this.
“Something big is brewing! This guy” (THIS GUY?? WHAT GUY???)
“even suggests a new volcano could soon start erupting on the southern part of the island… Terrifying, no?”
Good Lord. You’re ostensibly a saved Christian and you’re going around being “terrified” by news from a “this guy”?
Good grief.
Bloggers are morons.
“Head for Mt Dora, my FRiends in FLA.”
Agree, won’t be much left of the Florida peninsula of they get a worst-case tidal wave (Wikipedia has an article on it)...and they’ll have 8 hours to get out. So have a bug-out bag ready if you live there, a way to quickly be notified if a warning is issued, and don’t wait around to try to ‘figure out what’s going on’...just drive north and west as fast as you can (of course have gas in your car). The hour or so you drive while others are packing their luggage could easily spell the difference.
“Is La Palma that island off of Portugal that is expected to eventually explode causing so much earth to fall into the Atlantic that a huge tsunami will occur?”
Off of Africa, Spanish Island, but yea, probably the same island.
Be thankful you don't have to write news stories for a living.

La Palma Lava flowing into the ocean 10-4-2021

And the entire state of Delaware could be washed away…
A large undersea earthquake there that triggered a landslide would be a much more realistic scenario, pretty low odds on that ever happening though.
People just like to be scared, lol
I love Ocean City, MD! A friend of mine has a beachfront house there.
Well Larry, maybe you could do your own research and find the answers for yourself. Imagine that, doing your own work.
I was on Kauai when the Japanese earthquake hit, the tsunami wave took about 8 hours to hit the island, the peak wave height on Kauai was 2 feet I believe, it was larger on Maui and the Big island.
I think some of it is distance, and some is underwater topography.
But it checked off any natural phenomena from my list of experiences.
Tornadoes
Hurricanes
Fires
Drought
Earthquake
Floods
Tsunami.
All I’m missing is a volcanic eruption, and a blizzard.

I found the names of those who prepared and published the report to be curious, especially as the agency deals with nuclear power issues.
I understand the peninsula structures, but both cities are large, open ocean ports - hard to consider them "far inland".
