[QUOTE="robmonster, post: 2348490, member: 143534"] For the last 37 days, a volcanic eruption has been in progress on the island of La Palma in the Canarias in the eastern Atlantic. The last major eruption in 1949 confirmed the existence of an unstable shelf along the western-facing coast running along the length of the island. The unstable shelf weighs an estimated 500 billion tons and slopes steeply down at approximately a 60 degree angle -- effectively a free-fall. The significance of this latest eruption is that there is a theoretical risk of a tsunami that could be triggered by a notable earthquake, e.g one of 6+ magnitude. In light of a 4.9 quake yesterday, this will serve as a courtesy PSA for awareness of members of the DNF community that may reside in low-lying coastal areas, notably in Florida where many domain investors are known to reside. For those who wish to learn more about this topic, there are a few livestreams of the ongoing eruption, e.g. this one: [MEDIA=youtube]dTTm5zXiydg[/MEDIA] Ongoing seismic activity is being reported here: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.volcanodiscovery.com/earthquakes/canary-islands.html#quakeTable[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.ign.es/web/ign/portal/vlc-serie-palma[/URL] For anyone interested, the main academic work that reported this risk scenario was published about 20 years ago by 2 academicians named Ward and Day. You can read it here: [URL unfurl="true"]https://websites.pmc.ucsc.edu/~ward/papers/La_Palma_grl.pdf[/URL] It is also attached for convenience and posterity. Hopefully this all amounts to nothing! .
