    There is a lot of solidarity in the Canary Islands. I live on El Hierro, and we are collecting all sorts of things to send to La Palma, because many people left in a hurry and had to leave so much behind. These are only small islands, but make a great team. When any one is in trouble, the others help. We hope it will soon be over, but can´t predict when, and rebuilding will take a very long time.

      It's so sad. But the island is now taking over and when the center collapse the entire island will be covered in pyroclastic clouds, acid rain and rivers of lava. The 🌋 is a warning sign to all leave now. There is no time to wait.

    The sequence of events taking place in this eruption remind me of the ancient eruption of Mount Vesuvius. If the top of the volcano really explodes, I wonder if the force of destruction will be similar to that of Pompeii?

    • @elisabird6245
      @elisabird6245 3 роки тому +5

      Let´s just hope that if it does happen, there will be time to evacuate people further away. Lava has its own way of being destructive, but at least moves slowly so you have a chance to escape. What happened to Pompeii involved a lot of pyroclastic flow, which moves much faster. With the speed and temperature, Pompeii was doomed.

    • @frankmartin8471
      @frankmartin8471 3 роки тому +2

      This eruption is more similar to the Kilauea eruptions than it is to pyroclastic eruptions like Pompeii. Shield volcanoes often emit large amounts of flowing lava, but they rarely have catastrophic explosions. Let's hope there is no massive explosion.

    Non dovete capirmi male se vi dico che è andata bene questa volta anche se la distruzione è devastante. Se volcano non poteva liberare la pressione della caldera sotto il volcano sarebbe stato una immensa catastrofi, metà della isola sarebbe scomparsa che poi la conseguente tsunami avrebbe distrutto il resto delle abitazioni e non solo la isola anche tutte altre nazioni lungo la costa fin al nord Europa e al sud della costa africana.

    80K live on a volcanic island right over a magma hot spot. The Big Island in Hawaii is in the same situation. 185K live there. So it's a risk. Yes. But as long as the volcano doesn't blow its top, a manageable one.
