and it seems some of that black ash is heading our way, will pass my nation tonight so i've read in some of my nation's newspapers last night

[arista]

3 more towns have closed.

The Spanish President wants rebuild
after the Volcano stops.
That is brave.

[Nicky91]

it is awful


also the ashcloud which is heading northeast with the wind tonight, isn't dangerous according to my nation's RIVM and our weather site Weerplaza


what you can see should it occur, a more red-ish glow when the sun is up tomorrow morning and at sundown

[Firefighters on the Spanish Island
of La Palma have retreated due to
intensifying volcanic explosions.
The Cumbre Vieja volcano started erupting
on Sunday with thousands evacuated
and more than 350 homes destroyed.
On Friday, authorities in three more towns
told residents to evacuate.

A thick plume of smoke now extends
four kilometres (2.4 miles) into the
air with a number of flights in and out
of the airport cancelled.

No fatalities have been reported.]

Has anyone ever read about the possibility of volcanic activity causing a landslide in the Canary Islands and triggering a massive Tsunami across the North Atlantic?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumbre_Vieja_tsunami_hazard

Quite alarming to read about, thought they say it is very rare.

Yes a Massive Tsunami

It could happen.

SkyNewsHD
showed a Lady go back to her home
her dog was moved to another place
but the place she has moved into can have no dogs
so she was saying goodbye
it will be fostered with someone who can have dogs.

Some have been permitted back to their home to
get stuff.

It now a slower flow of burning Lava

One Banana Farm
has his Fruit covered in soot
but worse no water supply means it will go to waste


SkyNewsHD report today.

Live in LaPama
an expert said the Lava has only slowed,
because it has reached a flat surface.

It still has to reach the Sea
which make it more dangerous
with gases.

Yeah, I watched a documentary about it on Netflix once, it said they have eight hours to evacuate the east coast of America before it got hit and if I didn’t millions would die :omgno:

I really upset people when this was livestreaming on facebook. As my first comment was how ****ing beautiful it was. Apparently that made me heartless as first thought for a normal person would be 'omg, those poor people, I hope they survive and dont lose everything'

However, I dont see how me commenting on how lovely this kind of thing looks...is a problem. Its not a lie. And was genuinely my first thought D:

There is a Group of dogs
inside a fully walled square, outside.

Drones have been dropping Food and Water

They say a Helicopter
can not go near that area due to the Heat.
So they are going to use a drone
which hopes to bring them out one by one

Is it having a break?
