Indonesia’s tallest Volcano now erupting. Thousands being evacuated

Micah 1:4 And the mountains will melt under him, and the valleys will split open, like wax before the fire, like waters poured down a steep place.

Important Takeaways:

  • Eruption of Mount Semeru, Indonesia’s tallest volcano, prompts evacuations for thousands living downslope
  • Evacuations were announced Sunday as the 12,060-foot volcano, located in East Java in Indonesia, about 300 miles southeast of the capital Jakarta, began to spew lava and ash into the densely populated island
  • Thick ash was blasted more than 4,000 feet into the air while lava flowed down the slopes toward the Besuk Kobokan River, about 8 miles from the crater, the country’s National Disaster Management Agency announced.
  • Prior to Sunday, Mount Semeru erupted from Nov. 23 to Nov. 29, with daily explosions at the summit that sent ash plumes nearly 3,000 feet into the sky, according to the Global Volcanism Program at the Smithsonian Institute’s National Museum of Natural History.
  • The last major eruption occurred in December 2021, which killed 51 people in nearby villages, according to the AP.

Mauna Loa’s lava inches closer to Hawaiian highway

Micah 1:4 And the mountains will melt under him, and the valleys will split open, like wax before the fire, like waters poured down a steep place.

Important Takeaways:

  • Coming in hot! Mauna Loa’s lava oozes within 2.5 miles of traffic on the Big Island – at a rate 40 feet per hour
  • Hawaii’s Mauna Loa volcano is likely going to reach a major highway in the state unimpeded, as it moves within 2.5 miles of traffic on Sunday
  • Many are bracing for major upheaval if lava from Mauna Loa slides across a key road and blocks the quickest route connecting two sides of the island
  • The molten rock could make the road impassable and force drivers to find alternate coastal routes in the north and south
  • There are severable variables that will likely prevent officials from trying to stop the flow
  • The problem, according to the US Geological Survey, is that lava is unpredictable and it’s entirely possible it misses the Daniel K. Inouye Highway entirely

Mauna Loa is slowing down while Kilauea continues erupting

Revelation 16:9 “They were scorched by the fierce heat, and they cursed the name of God who had power over these plagues. They did not repent and give him glory.”

Important Takeaways:

  • Lava flow from Mauna Loa is slowing down. But that’s not the only possible hazard from Hawaii’s dual volcano eruptions
  • First, the good news: The lava spilling out of Hawaii’s Mauna Loa volcano is slowing down, spreading out and not an immediate threat to people on the ground.
  • Now the bad news: Possible health hazards remain as two volcanoes keep erupting on Hawaii’s Big Island, sending acidic gases into the air.
  • Lava from Mauna Loa has been creeping toward the highway, coming within 3.6 miles [could take a week to reach the road]
  • 2 volcanoes and lots of gases
    • Just 21 miles away from Mauna Loa…Kilauea has been erupting since last year. But this is the first time in decades that both volcanoes have erupted simultaneously.
    • Volcanic gas, fine ash and Pele’s Hair (strands of volcanic glass) could be carried downwind
  • Volcanoes are also erupting in Alaska
    • More than 3,000 miles to the north… Both the Pavlof Volcano and Great Sitkin Volcano are experiencing low-level eruptions in the remote Aleutian Islands chain
    • Overall, Alaska has more than 40 active volcanoes stretching across the Aleutian Islands chain.

Mauna Loa Volcano alert level raised after Eruption

Volcano Erupting

Matthew 24:7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

Important Takeaways:

  • Hawaii’s Mauna Loa Volcano Begins Eruption, Alert Level Raised
  • An eruption began in the summit caldera of Hawaii’s Mauna Loa, the world’s largest active volcano
  • “At this time, lava flows are contained within the summit area and are not threatening downslope communities,” the notification said.
  • However, the notification warned, based on previous events that the early eruption stages of this volcano can be very dynamic and the location and advance of lava flows can change rapidly.
  • The volcano alert level was upgraded from an “advisory” to a “warning.”
  • Over a dozen earthquakes of more than 2.5 magnitude struck the region in the last two hours, according to the USGS, with one measuring 4.2 in magnitude.

Mauna Loa “Heightened Unrest” as series of small quakes rattle the volcano

Matthew 24:7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

Important Takeaways:

  • More than 50 earthquakes rattle Hawaii volcano in past 24 hours, geologists say
  • A swarm of at least 50 small-magnitude earthquakes has rattled the Mauna Loa volcano on the Big Island in Hawaii over the past 24 hours, the U.S. Geological Survey reported Tuesday, Nov. 15.
  • All of the quakes were below 3.0 magnitude, geologists said.
  • Mauna Loa is the world’s biggest active volcano. It is not erupting and there are “no signs of an imminent eruption,” according to geologists.
  • However, the area is in a state of “heightened unrest” due to the increased earthquake activity and “inflation of the summit,” USGS said. The activity is likely being driven by new magma entering between 2 and 5 miles below the volcano’s summit.

More Earthquakes rattle Hawaii’s largest Volcano, Mauna Loa

Luke 21:11 There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven

Important Takeaways:

  • Hawaii’s Mauna Loa volcano: Earthquakes rumble, sending warning signs of possible eruption
  • The U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said Wednesday that Mauna Loa continues to be in a state of heightened unrest on the Big Island.
  • The observatory detected 13 small-magnitude quakes in regions historically seismically active during periods of unrest on the volcano.
  • The current unrest — also indicated by inflation of the summit — is most likely being driven by renewed input of magma 2 to 5 miles beneath the summit.
  • Since its first well-documented eruption in 1843, the volcano has erupted 33 times, with its last eruption in 1984.
  • Officials are warning residents to be prepared in case it erupts soon.

Increased volcanic activity at Stromboli Volcano alert level now at Orange

Rev 6:12-14 I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.

Important Takeaways:

  • Stromboli: eruptive activity of 9 October 2022 and change in the alert level
  • Following the eruptive phenomena underway in Stromboli, the Civil Protection Department has ordered the transition from yellow to orange level.
  • After a period of high eruptive activity, with a major explosion on 29 September and some short-lived lava overflows which took place between 27 September and 8 October, in the morning of 9 October 2022 Stromboli showed a marked increase in volcanic activity culminated in a copious lava overflow.

Eruption on Mount Merapi Forcing Hundreds of Residents to Seek Safety

Matthew 24:7 “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.”

Important Takeaways:

  • Indonesia’s Mount Merapi volcano erupts multiple times in waves, forcing 250 residents to flee
  • Mount Merapi volcano erupted at least seven times and spouted hot ash just before and after midnight
  • The eruption sent fast-moving pyroclastic flows — a combination of rock, lava and gas —up to 5km (3.1 miles) down its slopes
  • At least 253 individuals were evacuated from near the volcanic region in Merapi to temporary shelters
  • One of the most active among more than 120 volcanoes in Indonesia, Merapi has been repeatedly erupting with lava and gas clouds in the last few months.
  • No immediate casualties or injuries were reported.
