• Direct All the last hour of the La Palma volcano eruption
  • Cumbre Vieja No volcano in 2022?”All the signs indicate that it is over”

The La Palma volcano this Saturday has reached the 84-day duration of the longest eruption n the island since there are records, that of Tehuya in 1585, which it will exceed at 3:13 p.m. this Sunday, because a phenomenon like this It does not stop suddenly, but in a process of weeks.

In these almost three months of activity, the still unnamed volcano has left damage unmatched in the last century of Europe’s relationship with the volcanoes (the bill now amounts to more than 900 million euros, with 7,000 evacuated, By the way, it has formed lava flows that would completely cover Melilla and has gained as much ground from the sea as to house the Vatican State.

For a long time the scientific committee that follows the eruption has not published one of the most illustrative figures of the size of the volcano, such as the volume of material emitted so far (the latest data corresponds to day 47 of activity: 120 million m3, three times the 1975 Teneguía eruption).

But this eruption does not lack shocking magnitudes, these are some:

0 (or 1?) Victims

No one has lost their lives in the La Palma eruption as a direct effect of the volcano, since the entire affected area has always been evacuated in advance , even at the most uncertain moment: in the hours that preceded the eruption of the volcano at 3:13 p.m. Sunday afternoon, September 19, in Cabeza de Vaca.

However, there is an accident under investigation : on Saturday, November 13, the lifeless body of a 72-year-old man was found who had entered the excluded area the day before, with permission to clean a house of ash in the Corazoncillo neighborhood.

The autopsy was inconclusive.

It will be the complementary analyzes that determine if his death was directly related to the volcano (for example, due to inhalation of gases) or indirectly (due to the fall of a roof removing ash) or if, on the contrary, it was due to natural reasons. unrelated to the emergency.

Magnitude 5.1 

Maximum magnitude of the earthquakes that occurred in this crisis on La Palma.  It was registered in the early morning of November 19.

Intensity V

Maximum intensity reached by the earthquakes in this volcanic crisis, on a scale that goes up to XII.  An earthquake of intensity V is already classified as “strong”: Not only is it widely felt by the population, but damage appears on the scale at that level. Always mild: some glass breakage or some fissure in coatings, of little importance.

We know there have been quakes higher than that but they reduced them down or covered them up or deleted them.   I don’t have time to document all of them, but here is the truth about the one on Nov 18/19

50 hectares

It is the surface that the two lava deltas formed on the coast of Tazacorte have won over the sea so far. Those two strips are the youngest fields in Spain.

The largest, 44 hectares, would fit the entire Vatican State, which has just that area, or 19 basilicas of Saint Peter (2.3 hectares).

60.08 kilometers

Perimeter of the area covered by lava since September 19. It is almost equivalent to the length of one of the great highways that surround Madrid: the M-40

(63.3 km)

72.75 km

Length of the public roads covered by lava: 10.80 km of streets, 2.86 of the LP-213 highway, 2.55 of the LP-2132, 2.30 of the LP-2 and 2.14 of crossings urban, to name the most affected.

Added to all, it is the distance that goes from Zaragoza to Huesca.

360 hectares

Crop extension affected by lava: 224.99 hectares of banana trees, 62.37 of vineyards and 27.33 of avocado trees.

54.4% of the damaged crops are in Tazacorte, 35.64% in Los Llanos de Aridane and 9.96% in El Paso.

375 earthquakes

Record of earthquakes recorded by the island’s seismic networks on the same day, November 30.

1,575 workers at ERTE

It is the latest figure published on the workers directly affected by the volcano, whose companies have availed themselves of the modality of temporary employment regulation files created expressly to deal with the emergency that La Palma is experiencing.

1,628 buildings

Affected by lava, according to the General Directorate of Cadastre, of which 1,304 are homes, 179 rooms for agricultural use, 74 factories and industrial warehouses, 40 leisure and hospitality businesses, 15 schools, temples and spaces for public use.

According to Copernicus as of Nov 26  2,651 houses were destroyed by the lava.  (there have been multiple new lava flows and homes destroyed since then.)

The most damaging days of the lava were September 20 and 29, when 159 and 151 properties were affected in just 24 hours, respectively.

1,173 hectares

Land covered by the different lava flows.

To this extension must be added another not specified to date: the areas that the lava has not touched, but that areburied by the layer of ash, in some places several meters thick.

The area covered by lava only represents 1.69% of the island’s surface (12 of its 708 km2), but it is home to one of the most fertile and productive agricultural plains in the Canary Islands, with numerous homes in scattered centers.

If this “slab” of lava three kilometers wide at some points were taken to other coordinates of the Spanish geography, it would cover almost completely the entire surface of Melilla (12.3 km2).

7,000 evacuated   (WHO IS BUYING THAT HOGWASH??)

According to WION As of OCTOBER 25. there were over 8,000 people already evacuated! THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS MORE EVACUATED BETWEEN OCTOBER AND TODAY!!

Above that figure is the number of residents evacuated since the eruption began. Almost three months after the eruption began, only 30 families have been able to return to their homes in two neighborhoods of Los Llanos, as the lava flow that threatened that area was considered paralyzed.

8,506 earthquakes

Accumulated since September 9. Since that day began “the seismic swarm” (sequence of dozens of small earthquakes) that preceded the eruption, La Palma has not stopped shaking, with days in which more than 300 earthquakes have been recorded.

8,374,356 euros

Amount of donations from companies and private citizens collected by the Cabildo de La Palma in favor of the victims.

906,800,000 euros

The latest assessment of the damage caused by the volcano that the Government of the Canary Islands has communicated to its Parliament amounts to almost 907 million euros.

#EMSR546 . It occupies an area of 1,163.68 hectares, destroying 2,790 buildings and possibly damaging 101 others.

The Government seems to be covering up or playing down the number of individuals that have suffered while playing up the commercial properties affected.  Why? So they do not have to pay out so much to individuals who have lost everything, not just their homes or land.  They lost all their possessions, including their vehicles, clothing,  all their furnishings and  supplies as well as all their tools/equipment.  Not to mention their irreplaceable items like family photographs, artifacts and jewlery, precious momentos of their loved ones.

 This heartless government has been holding back the money ear marked for the victims while lavishly spending money on other things.  They have no concern at all for the  probably close to 10,000 or more lives that have been devastated by this disaster.  The government seems to be far more concerned with promoting tourism, rebuilding infrastructure and sending money to Egypt.  There has been of lot money spent to research the event as it happens. To collect samples and document every change in the volcanic activity, yet they can’t keep track of how many homes are destroyed or how many people have been displaced.  Just where are all those people?  How come we don’t see any photos or videos of what is happening to them??  They have been living in hopeless conditions for MONTHS!
