Mantle Plume: El Hierro island struck by two small tremors

Posted on April 3, 2012 by The Extinction Protocol
April 3, 2012 – CANARY ISLANDS – IRIN volcano 24 hour monitoring network of the National Geographic Institute (IGN) recorded two earthquakes of 1.7 and 2.7 magnitudes on the Richter scale this Sunday on the island of El Hierro. The largest of the earthquakes, recorded at 22.03 hours, occurred southwest of the town of El Pinar. This event was located at sea 15 kilometers deep. The second quake also occurred southwest of El Pinar at 20.36 hours, to 13 km depth and epicenter in the sea. Since last March 24, the island of El Hierro has been nine earthquakes, including this Sunday, between 1.5 and 2.7 °. Of these, were substantial enough to be felt by the population. Sunday’s tremors were located west of Frontier and southwest of El Pinar, and were 10 and 29 kilometers deep. –La Opinion.es  (translated)

    If the activity here were to increase, would we possibly (on the east coast) be affected? An old man used to tell me when I was a little girl, of course, that there was going to be a huge wave hit the east coast in my life time. Although I always thought it was jibberish intended to scare the dickens out of me, now I have to wonder. I live only 2 hours from Savannah GA, and am getting nervous….

      Nothing to get nervous about at this point. An escarpment remains where about one-third of El Hierro has already fallen into the ocean long ago. La Palma is said to represent the hyphothetical Canary Island tsunami threat and short of El Hierro disintegrating in a volcanic firestorm, a tsunami threat is not an issue at present.
      America’s greatest tsunami threats in order are:

      1.) Alaska tsunami caused by avalanche – historical place of largest tsunami ever seen, 50 stories high
      2). West Coast Cascadia fault Quake – overdue for a 8.0-9.0 magnitude earthquake
      3). Caribbean tsunami from a major earthquake – overdue for major earthquake
      4). Lake Tahoe tsunami caused by avalanche – simulations of a major avalanche have produced waves over 100 meters high

    Hello, I have been following your site for nigh on 2 years now, it is my daily pleasure. I am an “earth mother” and have felt for the last 7 years that something was amiss with our planetary aura (for want of a better desciption). On a regular basis I have an urge to “nest” and my family over the years have joked that Mum is having one of her end of the world times.

    I predicted the economic collapse and this changed my families complete attitude towards my instincts and they are all secret horders now. I still haven’t managed to pursuade my husband to let me have a wind generator but have got my son to design a bike to generate some power, even though a little it is better than nothing.

    Your intelligent response to the change in elements leaves me in awe and I thank you for all the information you post on here.

    Best wishes and mother nature protect you.

    A 3.1 quake just struck near the Canary Islands around 6pm EST on June 24th and some of us are very concerned as to the stability of the Island after the 1940’s quake opened the crevass and partially started a collapse on the side of the Island facing North America. Did this recent quake adjust the crevass? Should the Eastern Seaboard of the United States be educated as to the potential damage a 600 mph pressure wake from El Heirro could deliver in under 12 hours? Sincerely, Douglas K Pearson
