El Hierro in the Canaries ... has BULGED !!! alert for possible large eruption in the Canary islands .. Europe be prepared just in case ! here is the translated article:





The island of El Hierro is raised two inches in four days

Since last Sunday in the area have been over 750 earthquakes

Active Canary yellow traffic lights in El Hierro on wakeup seismic activity




The pressure of the magma detected in El Hierro has caused in the past four days on the island deformation of four to five inches vertically and three to four horizontal, as reported by the Security Directorate of the Canary Islands.
The energy released has reached 420,000 million joules, a fact which, together with the ground deformation evidence magmatic process acceleration on the Canary Island, where there is an inflation process is centered in the area which earthquakes occur.
The General Directorate of Security, who coordinates the Civil Protection Plan Risk Volcanic Islands, said that since the beginning were found in magmatic process, last Sunday, have occurred in El Hierro over 750 earthquakes.
In the Sea of ​​Calm

The earthquake with greater magnitude of 4.0 degrees on the Richter scale, occurred on Wednesday at 18.55 hours in the Sea of ​​Calm, 2 km from the coast and 20 kilometers deep.
The seismic activity began in the Sea of ​​the Gulf (north of El Hierro) and then move to the center of the island, coinciding with the point of intersection of the ridges, to subsequently migrate to the west.
From noon on June 25 the seismicity is concentrated in an area that includes the west and the dorsal side of the Julan, and from 1200 hours on June 27 the focus of the earthquake begins to migrate towards the Sea of ​​Calm .

I needed a refresher on this. Here is part of what I found if anyone else needs the info.

For those not familiar with the volcano, it is situated off the northwest coast of Africa in the Canary Islands, an autonomous Spanish archipelago. While there is no danger to the United States from volcanic eruptions, it has been long theorized by researchers that a large enough eruption and earthquake may be capable of splitting a neighboring volcano, La Palma, in two, which would subsequently cause a land slide on a scale unprecedented in recorded human history. The result would be a massive Mega-Tsunami that would cross the Atlantic ocean, slamming into the Eastern cost of the United States, the Caribbean islands and parts of South America.

While Tsunamis on this scale are incredibly rare according to researchers, a landslide in 1958 in Latuya Bay, Alaska caused a Mega Tsunami (video) whose wave was higher than the Empire State Building and washed over trees and land some 1,700 feet high above sea level.

The theorized landslide in the Canary Islands would involve rock masses that far exceed the Alaskan landslides, estimated to be 10,000 times as much mass, suggesting that the resulting Tsunami would easily exceed three thousand feet (30 times bigger than the the 2004 Indian ocean Tsunami) and travel at roughly 450 – 500 miles per hour.

The wave would slam into the Eastern seaboard with extreme force threatening over 200 million people who live in states from Florida to Maine, the north eastern Canadian coast, the Caribbeans, Brazil and Venezuela.

Simon Day, of the College University of London, says the La Palma volcano, situated in the earthquake zone and less than 100 miles from Hierro, is a geological time bomb:

Just a little shaking woke me up..

Mary and Baby

I saw that Mary. Analyzing things in my pea brain, it occurs to me that the this side of the ring of fire is definitely waking up. There have been numerous quakes off the coast of So. Oregon/No. California. And then there's this:

About 30 earthquakes strike in Southern California 'sequence'

A cluster of earthquakes that began Tuesday night continued Wednesday in northern Orange County, keeping residents on edge but causing little significant damage.



Photos emerged of bottles falling off a supermarket shelf in Anaheim Hills, but fire officials said they didn't get reports of anything more serious.



At a news conference Wednesday morning, Kate Hutton of the U.S. Geological Survey at Caltech said there had been at least 30 quakes since last night, but only three could be felt by residents.



"This is all part of the same earthquake sequence; they're all in the same area,'' Hutton told reporters at the briefing, which was televised by several TV stations.



Experts said more aftershocks are likely. LA Times



HIGHLIGHTS



Hutton said there were two 4.5-magnitude earthquakes, one on Tuesday night and another on Wednesday morning, and then there was also a 3.4-magnitude earthquake.



"This is all part of the same earthquake sequence. They're all in the same area," Hutton said. abclocal.go.com



Hutton said there are a few ways to look at the event. One is that there was a double earthquake, with two main shocks. The other way is to consider this an earthquake swarm, where there are a series of earthquakes that are about the same size or smaller. abclocal.go.com



According to the U.S. Geological Survey, Wednesday's 4.5-magnitude quake hit one mile north-northwest of Yorba Linda and four miles east-northeast of Placentia at 9:33 a.m. PT. Along with much of Orange County, residents in Whittier, West Covina, Long Beach, North Hollywood and San Bernardino reported feeling the quake. abclocal.go.com



Seismologists say the worst is still yet to come. According to a recent study, the West Coast will experience a catastrophic quake during the next 50 years.



Although Tuesday night's 4.4-magnitude earthquake near Yorba Linda, CA and a series of aftershocks afterward was not immediately blamed for any injuries or extensive damage, there could be a natural disaster of epic proportions during the next few decades. A study released out of Oregon State University last week did not warn researchers about this week's quake, but it did lead them to suggest that a tragedy on par with last year's Fukushima, Japan disaster could be only a few years away.


Scientists with the school estimate that there's a 50 percent chance that a major earthquake will strike southern Oregon near its border with California during the next half-century. The Pacific Northwest region of North America has suffered fewer than two dozen major earthquakes during the last 10,000 years, but the University's researchers say it's about time that a new eruption rips through the Cascadia fault.

Event: Earthquake
Location: Iran Province of East Azarbaijan About 21 miles west of Ahar


Number of Deads: 87 person(s)
Number of Injured: 400 person(s)


Two strong earthquakes struck northwest Iran on Saturday, killing at least 87 people and injuring 400, Iranian media said. A local official in the area told the Iranian Students' News Agency that six villages had been completely destroyed and 60 villages had been 50 to 70 per cent destroyed. The US Geological Survey measured the first quake at 6.4 magnitude and said it struck 60 km northeast of the city of Tabriz at a depth of 9.9 km. A second quake measuring 6.3 struck 49 km northeast of Tabriz 11 minutes later at a similar depth. The second quake struck near the town of Varzgan, Fars news agency said. "The quake was so intense that people poured into the streets through fear," it said. A local provincial official urged people in the region to stay outdoors during the night for fear of aftershocks, according to the official IRNA news agency. By early evening, ISNA said there had been at least 10 aftershocks.
