Mega-Tsunami Soon?

Scientists fear Cumbre Vieja, which erupted in 1949 and 1971, will blow soon
& half the island fall into the sea....making a huge wave.

After a year that has seen concern about potential voicano eruptions in Iceland, Italy and Bali, volcanologists on the Canary Islands have been asked to work out whether the island of La Palma is facing an imminent eruption.

The experts have been asked to monitor activity on the island, which saw 400 tremors in 15 hours over the weekend, according to The Express.

Close to Tenerife, Cumbre Vieja (meaning “Old Summit”) previously erupted in 1949 and 1971. After the recent tremors - and a 3.5cm rise in the earth over the past year - scientists have been asked to monitor the volcano, amid fears that an eruption might lead to an earthquake and possible tsunami.

So now a special hydrogeochemical monitoring programme has been set up in a bid to improve volcanic monitoring of the volcano. Scientists will take samples of subterranean waters and PH levels, conductivity, temperature and dissolved gas activity three times a week at four locations in Cumbre Vieja.

Meanwhile, a team from the National Geographic Institute (IGN) are monitoring the site around the volcano 24 hours a day.

..and meanwhile Crumple cackles with glea and rubs his hands at the prospect -- nay the hope - that soon many may die.

[Rum]

I'm aware that my responses to Crumple's doom laden threads are almost as predictable and tedious as the posts themselves. I have him on ignore but sometimes a title stirs a modicum of interest and foolishly I open it.

To avoid this in future I have a suggestion for Crumple.

From now on just number your threads 'Doom #1, Doom #2' and so on so that I can spare myself the pain of actually opening one out of curiosity prompted by the particular description of the doom laden contents within.

Much obliged.

might you be bored with, or even annoyed at, the Crumplestiltskin?

[Sean Hayden]

I used to wonder if Rum and Crump might be the same person. Sorry Rum.

[Clinton Huxley]

You can't have Crumple without Rum.

[Svartalf]

but can we have rum without crumpling?

[Rum]

You can't have Crumple without Rum.

I wish we were opposite sides of the same coin but sadly not. I ward off a sense of doom most days and I really don't need someone who wallows in it and seems to enjoy it to pull me down into a pit I struggle against most days.

That is the real reason I really can't stand the guy - or the guy as he presents here.

Nor clicking on that 'un-ignore' any more.

One was, of course, waxing facetiously lexigraphical.

[Svartalf]

But I'l check if I still have any rum, to drink a glass to Rum's health, it"s oddly appropriate

[Svartalf]

And it is done

That would be Crumble!

You are all so pessimistic. Whenever Trump says something positive I exist to restore the cosmic balance, hopefully prevent you dumb saps from diggin' up all that coal/oil and wrecking the one planet you have. If my realism appears negative consider the opposite?

Not a accident this happening on Trumps watch.

Russians are experts at drilling deep holes...same technology that could be used to drill for oil in the arctic, could be used to drill under the volcano....

...must be true then.
