      Unfortunately, natural disasters are increasing rapidly. We all need to be prepared to face them. Learn what to do in different disasters, prepare emergency evacuation backpacks, and at least a week's supply of food and water in case of a loss of electricity, water and heating.
      But the most important thing everyone needs to do now is to start talking openly about our biggest problem - climate and the true cause of its change - 12,000-year cosmic cycle.

    Our demographics here are built on previous volcanic activity. What you are experiencing could happen to us. Our mountains are dormant but not dead.

      My understanding is they're not all dormant at all. It's just been. some time since they've erupted. Mt. St. Helens showed that in the '80's. I'm not trying to be an alarmist, but I've seen a few documentaries that says the tectonic plates that the cascades are part of will, at some time, produce earthquakes and tsunamis like nothing the west coast has ever seen. As bad if not worse as the Alaskan earthquake in the 60's, but more widespread.

      @marleiseturner4689 11 місяців тому

      @@dod2304 I get where you are coming from. Someday this all could happen. Dormant just means inactive so right now they are dormant not dead. If you look at the USGS EARTHQUAKE App you can see all the earthquakes in real time around the World. I grew up in the Central Coast Range Mountains here in Oregon. I wouldn’t say you’re an alarmist. We hear this all the time. The plates are always moving real estate around and that is how hills and mountains are formed. When Mt. St Helen’s erupted in March of 1980, it was just so incredible to see that plume of ash move through the sky on just the most beautiful sunny Sunday morning. I shall never forget it. Now I live on the East side of the Cascade Mountains and I can see Mt. Bachelor, Broken Top, Mt. Washington, Mt Jefferson, the Three Sisters from my home. If I want to drive a couple of miles North Mt. Hood comes into view. I live in one of the most beautiful parts of Oregon and it takes around 30 minutes to drive up to Mt. Bachelor if you want to go skiing. In the Summer you can ride the lift to the top and on a clear day you can see Mt. Shasta in California. I do hope that we don’t have anymore eruptions, earthquakes or tsunami’s anytime soon. We try not to think about it anyway. My heart goes out to all the people in Grindavik right now.

    Sending my deepest condolences to those who have been and those who will be affected by this tragedy.
    I think we forget that this isn't entertainment. This is real life affecting real people. Just thinking about that man falling into a fissure makes me sick.
    Gylfi, I'm so sorry. Hang in there, man. ❤

    I'm so sorry for the people of Grindavik. I hope the extra time allowed everyone to collect their precious belongings and perhaps not all hope for the town is gone. When volcanoes are involved, we humans really are at their mercy. The earthquakes must be very unsettling too. Wishing all the best outcomes for Icelanders 💚💚

    Gylfi, over the months, I have been watching your wonderful videos and fell in love with Iceland. Thank you. This is crushing news about the Grendavik community as we think of the Grendavik residents, you, Icelanders, and everyone around the world who holds a special place for Iceland. It is hard to watch and read about what is happening. Indiana, USA sends our thoughts for everyone's safety, strength and peace. I am sorry.

    We are busy with daily problems and don't notice that our planet is in the process of destruction. The number of natural disasters is growing every day and if we don't take action urgently, in 5-7 years everyone's life will turn into hell.

    Good morning from California. I've been keeping up on this whole situation and every day I wondered if this would be the day I wake up to hear such news. Today is that day. I'm very sorry for this worst case scenario.
    At least the people of Grindavik gave it their best, but it seems with all this new activity with it comes more information and now the town can have more understanding of the real situation underneath and around them. I'm sure this will also benefit the other towns and cities as well.
    The Grindavik folks are made of strong stuff and will be resilient--even if that means relocating. May the Lord grant wisdom to the city council, mayor, and the country's government to know how to proceed with relocation, housing, finances, etc. Gylfi, thank you for your hard work in recording history and keeping us informed.

    The machinery operators have serious courage driving that digger along the wall when the larva was against it. Hopefully it will stop before the larva does too much damage
