A Swarm Of 12,000 Earthquakes Rattles Azores Island, Sparks Speculation Of Volcanic Eruption

 


On Wednesday, the Azores Seismovolcanic Information and Surveillance Center (CIVISA) increased the volcanic alert to Level 4, signifying a "real possibility" the volcano could erupt for the first time since 1808. 

Seismologist Joao Fontiela told Lusa news agency that "Sao Jorge has few earthquakes" every year, but "we're now talking about thousands." He's setting up seismic monitoring stations around the island to monitor the developments. 

CIVISA said there was "no evidence that a volcanic eruption was imminent." But the agency said an eruption shouldn't be overlooked. It pointed out the earthquake swarms are abnormal. 

Well, then, set up the real time web cams now.  This could be a big pop.

    Few months ago I read a report that this will cause a major tsunami to cross the Atlantic and wash the eastern cost. A big cliff is expected to tumble into the sea and cause this wave.

      Yea, he is thinking of the Canary Islands. One of those is practically split in half and is sliding into the ocean. When, not if, it does it will rearrange some east coast real estate.

    After thinking, pondering on this for a while........maybe it will; maybe it won't.
