[quote:Lost Lady:MV8zMjc5NTM4XzU4NjQxMzAzX0IwRkQ0NTZB] Volcano news: Mauna Loa volcano (Big Island, Hawaii) Mauna Loa volcano (Hawai'i): increased shallow earthquakes, alert level raised Friday Sep 18, 2015 06:47 AM | BY: T The alert level of the world's largest volcano was raised a notch to "ADVISORY", and the Aviation Color code to "YELLOW" becuase shallow earthquakes have recently appeared in increasing numbers under the volcano. There is no sign that the volcano is about to erupt in a very near future, but it could be a medium- or long-term precursor of a next eruption. The last eruption of Manua Loa occurred in 1984. The original report by USGS: "HVO seismic stations continue to record elevated rates of shallow, small-magnitude earthquakes beneath Mauna Loa’s summit, upper Southwest Rift Zone, and west flank. For at least the past year, the rate of shallow earthquakes has varied but overall has remained above the long-term average. During this same time period, HVO has measured ground deformation consistent with recharge of the volcano’s shallow magma storage system. Together, these observations indicate the volcano is no longer at a background level of activity. Accordingly, HVO is elevating the Mauna Loa alert level to ADVISORY and the aviation color code to YELLOW." [/quote]
Original Message
Check out Volcanoes and Earthquake site. I can't link it or I'll be banned. It's claimed as the worlds largest volcano. It had a shallow, 2 km deep, 4+ EQ directly under the shield. Now it's upgraded to yellow alert and an aviation warning is issued. I'll add more info as I figure out how to do it without causing terouble.
