User ID: 49128519 United States 12/29/2013 05:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Explosive Eruption From El Salvador’s San Miguel Volcano In somewhat unexpected news, San Miguel (also known as Chaparrastique) in El Salvador had an explosive eruption earlier today — with some impressive images showing up across the internet (see above). Not a lot of details right now, but ash is falling on the towns around the volcano. It is hard to get a sense of scale from the images I’ve seen thus far, but the eruption column looks to be at least several kilometers tall. [UPDATE: It seems that the plume is being estimated at ~5 km / 16,000 feet. This would suggest to me a vulcanian explosion, but we won't know until the ash is examined to be juvenile (new magma) or accidental (old rocks).] The civil alert status for the area around the volcano was raised to yellow after the eruption occurred, suggesting that more explosions could follow.

My mom lives in El Salvador. She called me to tell me about the volcano. She lives 4 hours away but my godparents live at the volcanoes bottom edge in San Miguel. Im praying that nothing bad happens. It seems to me that the fault lines along the west side of central america and north america are active. Did y'all hear about the road that was damaged by a landslide due to earthquakes in mexico? I wonder if El Hierro and all these active regions are connected by tectonic plates. I'm betting Edgar Cayces predictions have validity about the tectonic plates. |
