Katla Earthquake May Presage Next Volcanic Explosion
Just to add to the ink needs of European central banks, the Iceland met office reports that it has recorded a small earthquake at the Katla volcano. With Europe already pretty much bankrupt, and the only reason why Europe is still quoted being due to ECB, IMF and Fed backstops, the last thing needed by the troubled continent is the next major volcanic explosion to terminate airline travel indefinitely. As earthquakes tend to not be an indicator of volcanic stability, the most anticipated volcanic explosion in human history may finally be a fact quite soon. We are confident the HFT lobby will somehow determine that volcanic ash clouds add liquidity to the market. Stay tuned.
From Modern Suvival Blog:
On May 17, 2010 08:32 UTC, The Iceland Met office indicates that a small earthquake has occurred at the Katla location. In what could be an early indication of the event that is expected to occur (an eruption of Katla), a small earthquake is reported at the site. Although a single earthquake is not a precursor of an eminent eruption, it could be the first ’sigh’ of the awakening powerful giant.
Historically, Katla has erupted after the eruption of it’s close neighbor, Eyjafjallajokull, which first erupted on April 14, 2010 and is ongoing at this moment. Magma channels beneath to the two volcanoes are thought to be interconnected. A Katla eruption would likely be about ten times as powerful at the Eyjafjallajokull eruption and could cause worldwide disruption while expelling huge volumes of volcanic ash into the stratosphere which would circle the globe potentially for years, depending upon the magnitude of the eruption.
Not to be alarmist, but have you started your food storage plan? Basic survival preparedness is a personal responsibility that was simply a way of life of our ancestors. Let’s not forget how.

Buried canned ham bitchez!
hee hee. Good one.
That would be buried baked ham in no time.
Isn't it interesting how MasterBater or JayGayBanger never seem to show up under articles such as this one?
Maybe we need to drop the irresistible troll lure:
GOLD!
I'll have to ask Bravo, yip or Jay where I can get paid to be an internet troll.
Then I could over to, say, HuffPost and have fun while making money.
That's a fun thought, but of course we all know that TPTB only pay the trolls to swarm anti-establishment forums, not those which are ideologically already firmly in their back pockets.
And forgive me for forgetting about the Yipster --- how could I POSSIBLY have neglected to mention his name too? Once his junior high school lets out for the day, I am sure he will be showing up. Although he may have band practice after school on Mondays, now that I think about it.

Why would that even have been thought of? Seriously?
wtf is up with the nsa website? seriously?
lol. prob just a site that reroutes to NSA. funny. if you really want to get a good NSA scare, read up on ECHELON
Factor in that a good Whites metal detector will detect the ham's can around a foot down....
and that the canned ham's owner maybe capable of sending plumbum in quarter inch servings, said owner of White's might be at a small disadvantage and better employed looking for 'truffles' on the beach.
somebody kosher musta flagged you, 'walterwings'.
top 100 items, bitchez!

I have #10 cans of matzo ball mix for them - ya nevah know.
mary and max is quite fun. "Do you have a favourite-sounding word? My top 5 are ointment, bumblebee, Vladivostok, banana and testicle." it's got an obvious, sweet jewish heritage. grab a copy for your doomstead/solar dvd arrangement. there's small visual echoes of 'amelie' in there.

Buried canned ham for all Biatchies!
As we may all soon be eating really shitty food out of #10 cans, may I suggest going long Tobasco?

Can you say "Black Swan"?
I can. : )
Bullish! We know Iceland has great mineral deposits, and it's about to get a whole bunch more! BUY NOW!
LOL
Isn't it great when God (or Blankfein) does all the heavy lifting for you?
Syllogistic logic demands such conclusions.
As ash accumulates in air, flights decrease, economic activity slows, more people stay home, more people on 'net looking at news and markets, more people scared to death, more people sell, volume rises as trading increases, more liquidity!
Voila! Expert testimony for Con-gress!
Down here by the oil spill it's mostly Black Pelicans.
Sad but probably true. :(
and 3,000+ ppm of voc's, according to this:
http://www.southernstudies.org/2010/05/air-tests-from-the-louisiana-coas...
"The findings show that levels of airborne chemicals have far exceeded state standards and what's considered safe for human exposure.
For instance, hydrogen sulfide has been detected at concentrations more than 100 times greater than the level known to cause physical reactions in people. Among the health effects of hydrogen sulfide exposure are eye and respiratory irritation as well as nausea, dizziness, confusion and headache.
The concentration threshold for people to experience physical symptoms from hydrogen sulfide is about 5 to 10 parts per billion. But as recently as last Thursday, the EPA measured levels at 1,000 ppb. The highest levels of airborne hydrogen sulfide measured so far were on May 3, at 1,192 ppb.
Testing data also shows levels of volatile organic chemicals that far exceed Louisiana's own ambient air standards. VOCs cause acute physical health symptoms including eye, skin and respiratory irritation as well as headaches, dizziness, weakness, nausea and confusion.
Louisiana's ambient air standard for the VOC benzene, for example, is 3.76 ppb, while its standard for methylene chloride is 61.25 ppb. Long-term exposure to airborne benzene has been linked to cancer, while the EPA considers methylene chloride a probable carcinogen.
Air testing results show VOC concentrations far above these state standards. On May 6, for example, the EPA measured VOCs at levels of 483 ppb. The highest levels detected to date were on April 30, at 3,084 ppb, following by May 2, at 3,416 ppb."

we should have a plan to evacuate pregnant women and children, the elderly from hurricane-threatened portions of the gulf coast. we have lots of mobility now. we may not in short order.
I'd say that's pretty freaking dire.
I'm a healthy 53 year old male living in New Orleans. When the oil smell comes in from the spill my eyes get red and burn, I feel nauseous and I get a headache. If it's affecting me this way I can't imagine how bad it's going to be for the elderly, sick, pregnant, young, etc.
If the air you breathe is not healthy, you need to act NOW!
I find it truly incredible that anyone would risk their life/health this way.
Where is Uncle Sam on this? Are they gonna wait till they all have cancers?
Actually, I have worked around crude for years, and been exposed to H2S fffor mm-mm-mmany yeerrrrs, anD thurs, nottt-thing Rong wwwith me.
I am divorced with 2 teenage children. We lost just about everything in Katrina, but my ex wife will not agree to move or to let me get the kids out of here, and the courts won't side with me. I'd love to leave, but I won't leave the kids here alone. I'm stuck for now.
holy crap!! of course i don't hear about that on cnn
You've got the decimal in the wrong place. The number in your quote is 3,416 ppb or 3.5 ppm. Still enough to give you a headache though.
absolutely correct, my apologies, i meant ppb.
Yeah good thing you weren't trading the day of the flash crash! :)
Mmmm... less than Mag 3

some sleeping giants awake slowly and gently, remember Mt St Helens, a few weeks of little hiccups led up that big sneeze.
History repeats itself again... and again...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ancient/romans/pompeii_portents_01.shtml
"It is certain that when the eruption of Vesuvius started on the morning of 24 August, AD 79, it caught the local population utterly unprepared. Although at the same time, as we now know in retrospect, all the tell-tale signs were there to warn them."
...
"The irony of this is that the Romans were extremely interested in predicting the future, and they had a range of ways to detect what they saw as the approaching wrath of the gods. They were adept, for example, at observing 'portents' in the shape of strange sights and sounds, or unusual births."
unfort they were not adept at building seismographs.
The Romans should have sent a telegraph over to the Chinese, who did have seismographs; cool looking dragon ones in fact. :) The dragon held a ball balanced in its mouth, and when disturbed the ball would drop. The emperor would then send out food, supplies, and riders in the direction of the disturbance.

Understatement of the day.
yet most fail to see the gargantuan financial disaster of all time, and the largest heist.
tomorrow is the anniversary of Mt. St. Helens?

r! that really you? welcome, good to see you. :-)
back at ya:-)

hey jd.. doc is tall blonde long stide (gonna try it next mnth;-)
Hi R! Just to give you a heads up, ZH can become extremely time consuming...remember what your doctor said ;)
it can also lead to getting yelled at by your wife when repeating "uh huh" to everything she says b/c you are busy reading ZH...
Swarms of 15-25 quakes per hour from March through April before the May eruption is not my idea of slowly and gently.
Just checked my stockpile of Tuna fish...yup: Label reads "in oil"...must have came from the Gulf of Mexico.
:-) I needed a larf today - thanx!
Synthetic or natural?
All I know is it's light, sweet, and DE-LICIOUS.
But the oil preserves it longer, could be a 3 year famine.
taste it and tell me if you taste any ash as well ?

TY for the link
THANKS for the link..Fantastic stuff..
Oh, wicked!
Here's another take if you didn't catch it already:

Yeah that was pretty cool.
My Dell i5 HD laptop was made for this stuff. It outputs HD wirelessly to the flatscreen. Freakin' amazin'
So thats where clouds come from!
wow. that airplane fuselage shot was wicked.
It was an amazing event. Now interestingly it seems to have gone dorment. Katla, who was on deck, seems to have stepped into the batters box....what is to happen now....
http://eldgos.mila.is/eyjafjallajokull-fra-thorolfsfelli/
Fantastic...they must've been about 2500 ft from the crater, judging by the sound delay.
Hey I heard Fannie, or was it Freddie, just bought up the patent to start an exchange to start trading 'ash credits'. Better call your GS broker to get in early!
No thanks.
My broker is an ash hole.
"As earthquakes tend to not be an indicator of volcanic stability, the most anticipated volcanic explosion in human history may finally be a fact quite soon."
It's like waiting for "the money shot" in the latest porno film.
Um..........I watch them for the stimulating dialogue. Honest.
ahaha!
Yeah, and as a teenager I used to buy Playboy for the interesting articles and interviews. When Larry Flynt appeared on the scene, not so much.
Awww....right in David Cameron's eye.
In another case of life imitating art, the banner ad for Iceland Air flashes across my screen as this article was loading. lol.
Ash clouds over New York City, closing its airspace, would be great... Ash clouds rulez...
well it will definitely help my compost pile that's for sure. don't think the plants will like it all that much tho.
Contemplate this - oil spill reaches Icelandic coast - volcano (name unpronounceable) spits a hot cherry in to the ocean - poof (!) world catches on fire. Fire extinguisher, bitchez?

Soooo, the oil slick is really just a long fuse searching for its spark?
Sounds like a "Match made in Heaven?"
If you like it hot - yes.
i am going to call my first born..Fwehjlewrunlnadre. Apparently it means volcano in Icelandic
"Jökull" for short.
The Icelandic word for volcano is much simpler.
eldfjall = fire mountain
Error in the text: "With Europe already pretty much bankrupt"
Shiller just now on Bloomberg TV
These are times of unprecedented uncertainty and while housing prices could go up but it could also be that housing prices go down and go down substantially.
any bets on how the CS index comes in next week??? He sounded as bearish as I have heard him sound in some time even since his double dip call a few days ago.
(I'm sure the video and text will be available shortly)
So to clarify that, he's saying prices could go up or down? He really seems to be going out on a limb this time.
like any good (for nothing) analyst he hedges but filtering through the caveats this is a change in tone for Shiller with the emphasis on substantial drop from here (or maybe he's just shilling for his new book)
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllll....
Soooooo good to know they won't be unched!
So much for the old high vol double delta gamma inverse put call butterfly ratio straddle. We can All rest the fuck easier. What a gift!

"the most anticipated volcanic explosion in human history may finally be a fact quite soon."
Dear Icelandic Volcano God(s):
Please dump your ash on the following blights to humanity:
1. City of London - it's 1 square mile, so it should be pretty easy for you to hit that.
2. 33 Liberty
3. 15 Central Park West (just so Lloyd can't take refuge at home)
4. The Eccles building
If you would prefer actual evil banker sacrifices into your caldera to stave off eruptions, please let us know.
Actually, the real explosion will be when Glass-Steagall is re-enacted.
amen
The Volcano Gods must be appeased.
How about the Gulf Oil Spigots ? They must be awfully angry with somebody too ?
Anybody also notice that Harry Wanger was just "disappeared"? I haven't checked completely but it looks like all his posts have been snuffed.
Am I wrong on this one? Has Marla struck down Harry with the wrath of ZH?

I must be dreaming because I swore to God Harry posted on this thread. And I say this because I responded. Now it's gone. I can't find my post on my history. Poof.
And I was sober all weekend. Honest!
He couldn't have posted, he was scuba diving in Belize this morning.

If the end times come why would you need supplies?
Unless you think it will be like, "The Road" or "The Book of Eli." A slow decline into depravity.
Even with nukes going off in major US cities there will be plenty of pockets of self-sustaining communities that use their food storage to help ease the transition to full agricultural living - in a worst-case scenario.

Great read.
Jared Diamond is no light-weight, and Biologists have known for 20 years now what everyone else is still 5 years away from realizing.
Not that it helps. But what you guys are seeing in the financial markets, I and my peers have been watching happen in the biosphere with utter helplessness.
End-game, writ large.
It's scary what is happening.

Very hard, on a day-to-day basis, to deal with a gold market that is so clearly manipulated.
Green chutes must be confirmed to the public, then gold chutes are to be used.
Aren't the Icelandic volcanoes sub-stratospheric (for lack of a better word)? In other words, the ash stays mainly below the stratosphere and therefore lands relatively soon, in a few months or max. one year.
The ones in Indonesia blow their ash straigth to stratosphere.
It's not what ya got, it's how ya use it.
I suspect Katla is going to the moon Alice.

If you're having a bad day, just think of what it must be like to have an IQ north of 60, work at CNBS and have to put a "realistic" explanation on 38 of 40 up Mondays.
Europe bankrupt? How about you look into US government liabilities?
I'm not sure a word exists to describe the condition of the U.S. balance sheet.

Another green Monday! Who knew?
With minutes to spare no less. They aren't even trying to hide it any more. Desperate men do desperate things and things are getting desperate all over the place. I can't wait to hear what the Thunder God Katla has to say about it.
More blatant manipulation. I am so glad I bought some gold, etc.
+ 10 re Katla. Pachamama Earth may yet hit the reset button.
Since things happen in "threes", I wonder what No. 3 will be:

Iceland is mere prelude to the big one. Yellowstone is due to erupt and when it does it will cap the oil spill in the Gulf and pretty much everything else in North America.
I too have read about the Yellowstone Supervolcano. If it blows, one article I read said it would put the whole USA under a foot of ash.
I think I'll buy some more food for storage.
It won't happen cuz it would take out most of the Mormons.
I agree. God is on the side of the Mormons. But if you see them packing their bags, follow them where ever they go. :>)
