Yellowstone’s Steamboat Geyser Erupts 30 Times In 2018, Breaking Record From 1964

December 9, 2018 By Sheep Media

2018 is now officially a record year for National Park’s Steamboat Geyser.

It has just erupted for the 30th time this year on December 8, 2018, beating the record for most eruptions in one year from 1964.

According to Geyser Times, eruptions have occurred just about every 7 or 8 days after beginning on March 15, 2018. Yesterday’s eruption was a bit delayed… after 9 days of being dormant.

As you might expect, Steamboat’s record eruption has gotten the attention of folks that keep a close eye on developments near the Yellowstone supervolcano.

There’s a good chance that Steamboat won’t stop at 30 eruptions. Let’s wait 7, 8 or 9 more days to see!

Yellowstone Could Destroy Humanity is Ready to Erupt — NASA Plan to Save the World!

October 10, 2018 By Sheep Media

An eruption at Yellowstone National Park could lead to the end of human civilization. But the NASA has a plan that could prevent such an explosion and could also create a geothermal plant to generate electricity. Image: Lorcel/Shutterstock

According to a report by the BBC, even NASA sees it as one of the greatest natural threats to humanity: supervolcanoes.

How does a ‘supervolcano’ eruption work?

Below Yellowstone National Park, there’s a huge magma reservoir that’s responsible for all the geysers and hot basins, bubbling away — and it’s precisely this reservoir that has the potential to destroy humanity.

Roughly every 100,000 years, there’s a supervolcano explosion somewhere in the world, the consequences of which can be fatal.

If the volcano below Yellowstone National Park were to erupt, it would result in worldwide hunger and a volcanic winter (the cooling of the lower atmosphere).

According to UN estimates reported by The Guardian, an eruption could leave us with just enough food reserves for exactly 74 days. (source)

YELLOWSTONE STEAMBOAT GEYSER GOES OFF FOR 10TH TIME THIS YEAR!!!

June 15, 2018 By Sheep Media

Steamboat Geyser erupted again

Yellowstone National Park has more than 10,000 thermal features, sitting atop the world’s largest volcano.

It can send 2,000 times more matter into the sky than the Mount St Helens eruption.

A series of earthquakes have been rumbling underground …

Nothing to see, all is normal.

As the Norris Junction continues to heat up from the rising magma, so does the waters that make the geyser go off.

60+ Dead in Guatemala Volcano Eruption [VIDEOS]

June 4, 2018 By Sheep Media

RT| The deadly eruption of Guatemala’s Fuego volcano has affected more than 1.7 million people and sent thousands of people fleeing for their lives through streets buried in ash.

As least 62 people have been reported dead so far, and more than 3,100 have been evacuated. The village of El Rodeo has suffered the worst. Officials warn of the potential for new eruptions and mudslides.

Rescue workers pulled at least 10 people alive from ash and mud flows around Guatemala’s Volcan de Fuego on Monday.

President Jimmy Morales has declared a state of emergency and public calamity in three regions of Guatemala.

Most affected by the massive fall of volcanic ash were the municipalities of Sacatepéquez, Chimaltenango and Escuintla, Conred spokesman David de León said. A change of wind caused ash to descend on the capital, Guatemala City, before proceeding to eastern and northern regions of the country.

Drone footage has shown that an entire village has disappeared.

After the Volcan de Fuego discharged ash more than 10,000 meters into the air, the General Directorate of Civil Aviation was forced to suspend all incoming and outgoing flights to the La Aurora International Airport, to “guarantee the safety of passengers and aircraft.”

The village of El Rodeo has suffered the worst, after lava and ash reached the village. Emergency services are now treating the injuries mainly suffered from burns caused by pyroclastic flows. A number of people there also remain missing, after a river of lava overflowed its banks at the village. Cars were also swallowed up in the strong torrents.

A number of houses have been affected in the natural disaster. Authorities, meanwhile, have confirmed damage to two electrical networks and one bridge.

While President Jimmy Morales said a national emergency response in underway, people are advised to wear masks due to falling ash, to take precautions and to evacuate to safe areas if instructed by authorities. Locals are also advised to avoid river banks and to cover food and containers where water is stored for human consumption. After the eruption has finished, authorities urge the locals to clean the roofs of houses.

The volcano, meanwhile, remains active, trembling and spewing pyroclastic gases. “Currently the volcano is still rumbling and there is a greater potential for mud avalanches,” Eddy Sánchez, Director of the National Institute of Seismology, Volcanology, Meteorology and Hydrology (INSIVUMEH), told reporters at an afternoon press conference. Authorities are advising the populace to stay at least 200 meters away from currents of ash smoke and ash-infused water torrents.

Lava flows into PGV power plant; Civil Defense prepares for possibility of gas release [Video]

May 22, 2018 By Sheep Media

As lava breached the southern boundary of Puna Geothermal Venture on Monday, the head of a task force created to mitigate potential hazards at the power plant said efforts were underway to neutralize the last “active” well on the property.

A statement by the County of Hawaii confirmed that lava from Fissure 22 had crossed on to the property of Puna Geothermal Venture, which is described as “a geothermal energy conversion plant bringing steam and hot liquid up through underground wells”.

Tom Travis, the chief of Hawaii Emergency Management Agency, said during an afternoon media briefing he hoped efforts to “quench” well KS-14 would prove successful sometime Monday night.

Lava flows into PGV power plant; Civil Defense prepares for possibility of gas release
Hawaii County Civil Defense reported Monday morning that lava from fissure 22 had spilled over onto the PGV property and had come within 200 to 300 yards of the power plant’s well pad before being stalled by a berm.

Fissure 22 also delivered lava into the ocean at two spots near MacKenzie State Recreation Area on Monday, with molten rock traveling on one of the same paths as lava from fissure 20, which was no longer feeding the ocean.

The main concern, should lava overrun the well pad, is the release of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a colorless, highly flammable and toxic gas.

In June 1991 the geothermal plant had a well blowout. The blowout spewed toxic gas and routed 75 people from their homes on the island of Hawaii. White sulfuric steam roared uncontrolled for more than 30 hours from the Puna Geothermal Venture well before the company managed to cap it.

Steve Philips, a farmer who lived a mile from the site and was jarred awake before midnight Wednesday by the explosion.

The blowout sounded like a jet airplane taking off, he said, except that it did not let up for two nights and a day. The noise, which got as high as 90 decibels, and the rotten-egg stench of hydrogen sulfide prompted the evacuations, according to Harry Kim, Hawaii County civil defense administrator. One worker suffered a minor injury in the blowout.

Even before the accident, geothermal development was among Hawaii’s most heated issues. Scores of protesters had been arrested as they tried to stop it. Environmentalists said it endangers the last major tract of lowland tropical rain forest in the United States. Residents argue that it threatens their health and safety, and some native Hawaiians decry it as a violation of the volcano goddess, Pele.

Norman Clark, project manager at Puna Geothermal Venture, which is owned by Ormat Energy System of Sparks, Nev., said the drill rig hit an extremely hot, high-pressure steam zone at 3,475 feet, far sooner than expected. But the blowout was not serious, he said. “We can drill and control anything that’s in Hawaii,” he said.

“This is important, because … lava is starting to intrude on the southern edge of Puna Geothermal Venture site. It’s not easy to predict where it’s going to go or when it’s going to get there,” Travis said.

Talmadge Magno, Hawaii County Civil Defense administrator, said his agency is preparing for “a possible H2S release, as far as messaging to the community and evacuations that might have to take place.”

“We haven’t specifically mentioned hydrogen sulfide, but with this flow coming on to the PGV property, we’ll start acknowledging that this is the next precaution that folks will have to take,” Magno said.

Deadly Acid Clouds Rise Over Hawaii As Lava Continues To Flow

May 21, 2018 By Sheep Media

Deadly white clouds of acid and shards of glass emerged into the sky over Hawaii on Monday as lava from the Kilauea volcano flowed into the ocean.

The volcanic eruption has been going on for more than two weeks now.

Hawaii’s Civil Defense agency warned motorists, boaters and beachgoers to beware of toxic clouds of “laze,” which is a combination of “lava” and “haze.”

The clouds formed as two streams of hot lava poured into sea water.

The plumes can be fatal if inhaled.

Since starting on May 3, the eruption has no signs of stopping.

Two thousand people have been ordered from their homes due to lava flows and toxic sulfur dioxide gas.

INDONESIA: MAJOR ERUPTION AT MOUNT MERAPI VOLCANO, CAUSING CHAOS AND HALTING AIR FLIGHTS

May 11, 2018 By Sheep Media

A powerful phreatic explosion took place at Indonesia’s Merapi volcano at 00:30 UTC (07:30 local time) on May 11, 2018. The volcano ejected ash high into the sky, closing a major airport and forcing authorities to issue temporary evacuation orders for all residents living within 5 km (3 miles) of the crater. The Aviation Color Code was raised to Red.

According to the Darwin VAAC, a high-level eruption of Merapi volcano sent ash up to 15 km (50 000 feet). Volcanic ash to 6.7 km (22 000 feet) and 12.2 km (40 000 feet) has now become detached from the volcano and continue moving SW and SE, respectively. Subsequently, ash at these heights is gradually dissipating. Minor emission to 3.6 km (12 000 feet) is expected to be continuing, the center said 05:30 UTC.

“Volcanic ash rain has occurred in Tugu Kaliurang of Sleman district of Yogyakarta and is forecast to persist in the south of the crater,” spokesman of national disaster management agency Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said, adding that local officials have distributed masks to prevent respiratory problems.

“Local disaster agency has instructed the villagers living in the radius of 5 km (3.1 miles) from the crater to evacuate to barrack set up for evacuees and the people have responded,” Sutopo told Xinhua.

The airport in Yogyakarta, the nearest big city to the volcano, was closed because of the threat from the ash, the state-owned aviation agency AirNav said.

A 3 km (1.8 miles) no-go zone has been declared by the volcanology agency.

Sutopo told reporters that 120 people who had been hiking up Merapi are safe.

At 07:00 UTC, Sutopo said there was only one eruption today, adding that volcanic activity of Mount Merapi remains normal (level 1). “There is no need for evacuation,” he said in a tweet.

Thousands of people are living on the flanks of Mount Merapi, active stratovolcano regularly erupting since 1948. It is located about 28 km (17 miles) north of Yogyakarta city (population of 2.4 million).

In November 1994, a large explosion at the volcano produced pyroclastic flows that killed 27 people.

A series of eruptions in 2010 killed 353 people. Over 350 000 were evacuated.

Geological summary

Merapi, one of Indonesia’s most active volcanoes, lies in one of the world’s most densely populated areas and dominates the landscape immediately north of the major city of Yogyakarta. It is the youngest and southernmost of a volcanic chain extending NNW to Ungaran volcano. Growth of Old Merapi during the Pleistocene ended with major edifice collapse perhaps about 2000 years ago, leaving a large arcuate scarp cutting the eroded older Batulawang volcano.

Subsequently growth of the steep-sided Young Merapi edifice, its upper part unvegetated due to frequent eruptive activity, began SW of the earlier collapse scarp. Pyroclastic flows and lahars accompanying growth and collapse of the steep-sided active summit lava dome have devastated cultivated lands on the western-to-southern flanks and caused many fatalities during historical time.

FEARS OF 1000 FOOT MEGA TSUNAMI FOR U.S. WEST COAST AS ERUPTING HAWAII VOLCANO FRACTURES MASSIVE UNSTABLE LANDMASS

May 10, 2018 By Sheep Media

Scientists from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) have contacted me regarding a staggering development taking place right now during the eruption of the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii:  An area of land on the south flank of the volcano known as the “Hilina Slump” – about the size of Manhattan – is moving and could BREAK OFF into the ocean, sending a Tsunami toward the west coast with 100+ foot waves moving at 500 miles per hour.  Cities like San Diego, Los Angeles and others could be wiped off the face of the earth.

They say the bosses at USGS know about this and are intentionally concealing it from the public for fear of causing a panic.  Media outlets in Hawaii and in Los Angeles have allegedly been specifically told not to say anything . . . yet . . .  for the same reason.

I am breaking this story.

As most of the civilized world knows by now, the Kilauea volcano on the south side of Hawaii’s big island, began erupting earlier this week.

Prior to the appearance of lava at the surface, hundreds of small earthquakes were felt.  Then the quakes got bigger.  A magnitude 5.6 struck Thursday evening and a strong Magnitude 6.9 was a sort of announcement by the volcano that it was time to blast off.   This map from the USGS web site, shows the location of the Magnitude 6.9 quake and the rings indicate how far away the quake was felt:

Within minutes of that M6.9 quake, 2,000 degree lava began shooting out of the ground — over 100 feet into the air — through cracks in roads up to 12 miles away from the volcano crater!  The lava quickly set homes ablaze.

Roads became impassable:

The lava is destroying everything in its path:

The lava is not stopping.  Other roads are now cracking open with super-heated steam and toxic gases spewing out:

     

Evacuations were ordered, with more than ten thousand people told to flee for their lives.

But this is far from the worst of it.  While all this shaking and spewing is taking place, the land atop all this lava activity is literally moving toward the ocean.  Specifically, an area of land about the size of Manhattan in New York City, called the “Hilina Slump” is not only moving, deep cracks are appearing which SOME geologists fear are indications the Hilina Slump is going to BREAK OFF of the island, and fall into the ocean in one giant splash.

The Hilina Slump is an area of about 5,000 cubic miles of dirt and rock.  If it breaks off and slides into the ocean (as has happened 60 times in the past elsewhere in the Hawaiian islands) a Pacific-wide-Tsunami would be generated, hitting the U.S. west coast with waves over 100 feet tall moving at 500 miles per hour.

San Diego, Los Angeles and other major cities would be wiped off the face of the earth.

This is a geological map of the Kilauea Volcano showing the Hilina Slump:

IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE

The Hawaiian Islands are home to the largest documented shoreline collapse in history, an ancient seaward landslide that sent rocks from the island of Oahu to sites more than 100 miles offshore. The avalanche of debris from the northeast shore of Oahu probably occurred between 1.5 and 3 million years ago, and it undoubtedly created one of the largest tsunamis in Earth’s history, a wave large enough to inundate every coastline of the northern Pacific Ocean.

Today, geologists are saying that seismic and tectonic forces are creating the potential for a similar disaster on the southeast shore of the big island of Hawaii, near Kilauea volcano. The world’s most active volcano, Kilauea is continually growing larger. At the same time, its seaward flank is moving toward the Pacific, currently at the rate of about 10 centimeters per year. Kilauea’s movement takes several forms. Layers of lava and sediment atop the mountain are pulled down by the force of gravity. The entire mountain itself also moves slowly out to sea as magma derived from deep within the earth’s mantle intrudes into the core of the volcano.

“From previous studies, we know that Kilauea is the site of an active landslide, the Hilina slump, which has moved in historic times,” said Julia Morgan, assistant professor of Earth Science at Rice University in 2003. “We now recognize that Kilauea also experienced a catastrophic landslide in the past, possibly within 25,000-50,000 years, which is quite recent in geologic terms.”

The 10-by-15 mile Hilina slump is now partially detached from the seaward flank of Kilauea, and a candidate for catastrophic collapse.

The Volcano is moving!

While there is no real consensus on why Hawaiian volcanoes move, the fact is that they do move. One of two things can happen when you apply enough force to move a volcano; neither is particularly good.

First, the volcano can move or slide fairly easily along its base. Generally the movement is relatively continuous, however a bit of sticking here and there can generate some rather large earthquakes.  That’s what we’ve had this week with Kilauea. Sticking, then earthquakes.

The structure that results from this type of movement is called a “slump.” Generally, a large block of the volcano slides coherently and stretches the volcano. Because the block is lengthening, it must also get thinner. The result of this is a set of cuspate normal faults near the head of the slump. The blocks on the seaward side of the fault drop downward due to the fact that the moving block is thinner.

The Hilina slide on the southern side of Kilauea is an excellent example of a slump. The large “palis” or cliffs on the south side of Kilauea are the tops of the extensive fault system at the head of the Hilina slide. The faults downdrop blocks towards the coast over 2000 feet in places. The downdropped coastal side of the fault blocks are probably tilted back towards the rift zone, but have been filled in by numerous lava flows making them slope very gently (about 1 degree) towards the ocean.

During the 1990’s, Kilauea was moving an average of about 10 cm a year seaward. This is a lot of movement for such a large object.  This is a lot of ground to break and as you can imagine it results in some pretty large earthquakes. The last time that this appears to have happened was in 1868 and the result was the M8 Kau Earthquake.

Second, the volcano can get stuck and suddenly release, causing a massive earthquake and landslide.   The Hilina Slump  is said to be “the most rapidly moving tract of ground on Earth for its size.” The Hilina Slump can move much faster. At 4:48 AM, November 29, 1975, a 37-mile-wide section suddenly dropped 11½ feet and slid seaward 26 feet. The result was a magnitude-7.2 quake and a 48-foot-high tsunami around Hawaii. This was a minor movement of the slump. If the entire 4,760-cubic-mile block  broke off, (as some geologists who spoke with me today believe may take place) it would probably create a magnitude-9 quake and a tsunami 1,000-feet high.

All the coast-hugging cities of the Hawaiian Islands would be swept away. And LOOK OUT Australia, Japan, and California.

(SOURCE: Napier, A. Kam; “Landslide,” Honolulu, p. 28, February 1997. Cr. H. DeKalb.)

Tsunamis travel at jet speeds on the deep, open, ocean and have such small amplitudes that ships rarely notice them. Only when they reach shallow water as they approach land, do they slow down and reach monstrous sizes.

It is about 2500 miles from Hawaii to Los Angeles.  Given that Tsunamis travel at about 500 MPH, the ten million people living in and around L.A. would have between four and five HOURS to evacuate the entire city once the Hilina Slump collapses into the ocean.  How the hell do you evacuate ten million people in 4 to 5 hours?   

And that’s just Los Angeles.  What about the other large cities on the west coast: San Diego?  San Francisco?

The fact that certain bosses at the USGS have told their subordinates not to reveal the magnitude of what’s happening right now in Hawaii for fear of causing a panic is, in one aspect, noble.  But the other aspect is HOW DO YOU EVACUATE TEN MILLION PEOPLE IN FOUR TO FIVE HOURS?

Quite simply, you don’t.  It cannot be done.

This is a brief, four minute video showing what would happen if the Hilina Slump falls off the Kilauea Volcano into the ocean.  The story, with some important advice, continues below the video:

MAKE A PLAN RIGHT NOW

I want to be explicitly clear to all the folks on the west coast:  At this time, there is NO tsunami and that may remain the situation.  There is NO NEED TO PANIC or to evacuate at this time.

Yet, given the fact that officials in Hawaii and at the US federal level already know the Hilina Slump is moving and they are not telling anyone, it seems to me (as a reasonable person) the concealing of this information is not a wise decision.

Folks along the west coast should have a plan.  If an evacuation order comes out, you’d better know at that instant where you’re going and how you’re getting there because believe me, when ten million other people find out they have to run for their lives or be killed by a tsunami in four or five hours, it will be utter, unimaginable, chaos.

Again, there is no need to panic, or to evacuate now.  But be acutely aware of what is taking place right now in Hawaii because if the part of the Kilauea volcano called the Hilina Slump collapses into the ocean, you will be lucky to escape with your lives once an evacuation order is given.

Devastating Yellowstone ‘Supervolcano’ Eruption Is Greater Than Previously Thought

October 12, 2017 By Sheep Media

Since about mid-July, the earth beneath the volcano has been shifting in a sign that magma could be rushing into the caldera’s main chamber.

Since then, there have been roughly 2,500 small-scale earthquakes recorded near the volcano, the largest stretch on record. Previous estimates had assumed that the process that led to the eruption took millenniums to occur.

The same estimates that USGS based their warning on.

As the New York Times explains, the Yellowstone caldera is a behemoth far more powerful than your average volcano. It has the ability to expel more than 1,000 cubic kilometers of rock and ash at once, 2,500 times more material than erupted from Mount St. Helens in 1980, which killed 57 people. That could blanket most of the United States in a thick layer of ash and even plunge the Earth into a volcanic winter.

As the Times points out, scientists expect a supervolcano eruption to scar the planet once every 100,000 years.

To reach their conclusion, the team of scientists spent weeks at Yellowstone’s Lava Creek Tuff – a fossilized ash deposit from the volcano’s last supereruption, where they gathered samples and analyzed the volcanic leftovers. The analysis allowed the scientists to pin down changes in the lava flow before the last eruption. The crystalline structures of the rocks recorded changes in temperature, pressure and water content beneath the volcano just like tree rings do. (source)

One of the world’s most active volcanoes has erupted for the first time this year, creating a spectacular show of light over the Italian island of Sicily.

Mount Etna, the highest volcano in continental Europe, has been largely free of eruptions over the past two years.

But it came to life on Monday evening, with bright orange lava spewing from its 3,330m-high peak.

The lava and ash cloud could be seen from the Sicilian city of Catania and the resort town of Taormina.

The airport at Catania, about 31 miles away, remained open, although authorities said they were tracking the ash cloud.

There was no danger to the towns on the mountain, they added.

By Tuesday evening, the eruption was easing.

Etna is one of the world’s most active volcanoes and has been known to burst into life several times a year.

The last major eruption was in 1992.
