    Shiveluch Volcano Eruption Update; Large & Sustained Explosive Eruption, Widespread Ashfall
    GeologyHub
    221K subscribers

    "The most explosive volcano in Russia just produced its largest eruption in 30 years, sending a several hours long and sustained plume of ash to a height of more than 50,000 feet for more than 6 hours. As a result, large pyroclastic flows were generated from Shiveluch and significant swaths of Kamchatka were coated in a layer of as much as 10 centimeters thick of ash. What had just occurred was a sub-plinian eruption from a volcano which famously produced a large partial collapse and debris avalanche during a 1964 eruption.

    Note: The evacuation radius/exclusion zone is purely hypothetical and based only off of the opinion of GeologyHub based on the situation at Sheveluch and no other volcanoes on April 11 2023 and does not represent a government or agency opinion. This hypothetical exclusion zone is best not to enter for a week at a minimum if not longer. This message will be updated once the situation becomes less potentially dangerous in the opinion of GeologyHub."

    SOTT Earth Changes Summary - March 2023 (22:34)
    Extreme weather continues to batter California. Heavy rains, flooding, hurricane-force winds, and tornadoes left hundreds of thousands without power and prompted evacuations from the hardest-hit areas. Tropical Cyclone Freddy made a rare second landfall in southern Africa, killing at least 216 people. Malawi and Mozambique were the hardest hit, with 190 deaths, 19,000 displaced, and thousands without power. In Brazil, heavy rains and the overflowing Acre River flooded large areas of the city of Rio Branco, Acre.

    Is weather currently worse than ever? History says “hell no”.

    Lance, the History Guy, recounts four seminal weather events that have shaken CONUS since 1882.

    I suspect that Lance has taken the red pill, regarding “climate change” hysteria. If so, he should do a collab with Tony Heller.

    Ash From Sangay Volcano Falls on 3 Ecuadorean Provinces

    In the early hours of Friday, the Sangay volcano released a large cloud of ash that reached 8 kilometers above the crater and fell in nearby provinces, according to Ecuador's Geophysical Institute (IG).

    RELATED: Ecuador's Former President Moreno Faces Prison Order

    So far, the most affected provinces are Chimborazo, Bolivar, Los Rios, and Guayas, which are located to the west of the volcano, since the wind carried the ash particles towards the Pacific Ocean.

    While the greatest impacts of the ash fall were registered in the municipality of Guamote in Chimborazo, the intensity of contamination by ash is moderate in the municipality of Chillanes in Bolívar and slight in the municipality of Babahoyo in Los Ríos.

    The General Secretariat of Risks recommended that Ecuadorians living in the affected areas wear a mask and protective glasses to avoid affecting the respiratory tract.

    According to IG scientists, the proportions of this ash emission are similar to what was observed during the most active pulses of the current eruptive period of the volcano.

    However, this morning's ash eruption was the largest event recorded in recent days, where gas and ash emissions from the crater have been constant.

    With an altitude of 5,230 meters above sea level and erupting since 2019, the Sangay volcano is on a mountainous branch of the Andes mountain range that enters the Amazon.

    Currently, the Cotopaxi and El Reventador volcanoes, both located less than 90 kilometers from the capital city Quito, are also active in this South American country.

    Cool to watch. But theirs is nothing unusual about that scene in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas etc… USA this time of the year. It’s Tornado season and those storms generate, and always have generated, huge hail in addition to rain and tornados.

    Fires erupt across Mexico next to Volcanic locations -- Italy M5.1 + California Warned

    "As my previous update talked about, things are literally "on the move".

    Mexico suddenly broke out in FIRES across multiple volcanic locations. We can rule out control burns, and farmers burning their fields.... which only leaves arson and natural/volcanic sources of heat.

    Arson can be most likely ruled out due to the timing, size of the areas burning, and the locations mainly being volcanic with actual spatter cones / fissures at each spot showing fires."

    Something strange is going on with the Weather

    (This comment from a subscriber may shed some light on this strangeness: "
    JNS
    5 hours ago
    Grand Solar Minimum! One of the asserted effects of lower solar activity is changing jet streams. Rather than flowing in a straight west to east, it is oscillating wildly like a 'sine' wave. This is a worldwide phenomena and is creating massive distortions, extreme drought, extreme rain/floods, destroying crops and growing conditions. We are also experiencing massive SO2 infusions into the upper atmosphere from increasing volcanic activity, which is impacting weather as well!" )

    "Sound / narration for the video begins at about 1min 30 sec.

    IDK what to tell you. NBC local meteorologist here in St. Louis Missouri confirmed on morning news this morning (May 5, 2023) that this is not a glitch or RADAR translation issue. That the storms really moved this way overnight from May 4th into sunrise on May 5th.

    The 'undulation' of all the storms in North America ceases around Sunrise East Coast time (530am ET) Multiple views in the video come from:

    https://www.ksdk.com/radar
    and
    https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms...

    Since it is not a glitch (per the meteorologist on television), and it is not happening on other continents, I'm vexxed about all of this.

    I have no prior examples of this to go on, and have never seen anything like this before.

    Getting confirmation that this is not a glitch is what is prompting me to make this video now.

    I don't know what (if anything) to watch out for after this. But since it falls under "RADAR anomalies" this is right up my alley when it comes to documenting and looking for anything to happen afterwards.

    Best case scenario its some kind of oddity that has no effect afterwards. Worst case scenario the planet is wobbling out of the ordinary magnetically on one side of the planet (the USA side currently).

    The antipode is worth mentioning.. which I show in this video ... it can't be chance that the antipode (opposite side of the planet) is the tip of the antarctic plate (starfort shape) which I've shown in several videos previously."

    103 wildfires in a matter of days - sounds mighty fishy!

    '
    Provincial state of emergency is expected to be declared, 103 active wildfires in Alberta, 24,500 people evacuated
    Arthur C. Green 4 hrs ago'
    Wildfire raging in Drayton Valley



    'In Alberta, the fight continues as 103 wildfires are burning in the province

    Premier Danielle Smith said it is a "rapidly evolving situation and we will be monitoring it closely."

    A fire is going south on hwy 21 between Baseline and Wye Rd. And has crossed the road.


    "Here's the information that is available as of 9:30 a.m. this morning — there are currently 103 active wildfires," Smith said at a Saturday afternoon press conference.

    "Burning 121,998 hectares since 11 a.m. Yesterday, there have been 45 new wildfires. In total, we have seen 24,511 Albertans evacuated from their homes to ensure their safety in communities currently under an evacuation order."



    The federal government is on stand-by as crews continue to battle wildfires on Saturday as the province smells like a huge bonfire.

    Large clouds of puffy smoke fill the air in some parts of Alberta, as the wind fuels the dry brush and trees which continue to burn out of control in some places.

    The roar of water bombers could be heard in the County of Wetaskiwin, filling up in Buck Lake which is 109 km southwest of Edmonton.

    A provincial state of emergency could be declared.



    https://twitter.com/artcgreen/status...7eb195a02.html

    "Well, there is a process to go through and I impressed upon my officials this morning that in the times that I've been watching the emergency I don't know that I ever recall seeing multiple communities evacuated all at once in fire season," Smith said

    "So I've asked them to put together a suite of potential options, including looking at declaring the provincial state of emergency. We'll be making that decision today at 3 p.m. There is just a process you have to go through." '

    Over the years, (in the western U.S.), there have been quite a few times "controlled burns" have gotten out of control and became raging wildfires. It happens. More than you might think. I say this because this shouldn't be a "Hey, see what happens when women try to do it" type of refrain.
    I am enlightened, ............ Oh wait. That's just the police shining their spotlights on me.

    I have nothing but admiration for women firefighters! But if this is true, it has to be reported.

    Feminist Firefighters accidentally set Banff ablaze
    A women-in-fire training exchange program accidentally set Banff National Park ablaze after a prescribed burn went “out of control.”

    Canada’s first ever Women-in-Fire Training Exchange (WTREX) is taking place in Banff, Alberta, between May 1 – 12. The application for the event accepted 35 people from “all genders.”

    Following the mishap, an alert was issued, with local residents, tourists, and livestock evacuated from the area. The evacuation has since been lifted.

    Canada Parks blamed the wind.

    “Around 1600, due to an unexpected shift in wind direction and speed, the fire escaped the predetermined boundary,” Canada Parks stated.

    WTREX’s equity-based initiative made selections “with diversity and inclusion goals in mind.”

    The group seems to think that 50/50 gender representation in the firefighting community is a sign of progress.

    “[Did you know] women are still underrepresented in the firefighting community?” Parks Canada said in March. “Diversity is strength which is why #WTREXCanada empowers more women to become leaders in fire management!”

    The purpose of the burn was to achieve several objectives, including mitigating the risk of wildfire.

    The latest update from Parks Canada indicates the fire outside the prescribed burn area is “being held” at 3 hectares. Five helicopters helped the firefighters get the blaze under control.

    In what seems narrative control, Parks Canada said the ladies in the training program were certified. However, WTREX’s call for applicants in the program indicates only introductory-level courses were needed to attend the training program.

    “WTREX is an opportunity to engage participants of all different genders, ethnic, and racial backgrounds to explore the growing role of women in fire management while also serving as a training opportunity to enhance their understanding of Incident Command System, fire ecology, communications and
    outreach, leadership, prescribed fire planning and more,” the call for applicants read.
