Japan Issues Highest Alert, Evacuation Warnings After Volcano "Explosively" Erupts - No Injuries Reported

Tyler Durden's picture




 

First, earthquakes; then tsunamis; then household spending collapses for the 13th month in a row... and now Japan is dealing with a volcano. NHK reports that Kuchinoerabu-jima, a volcano on Kuchinerabu Islands (off the southern-most tip of Japan) has erupted "explosively." Officials have asked local inhabitants to evacuate the area. As yet there are no reported injuries.

As Michael Snyder of The Economic Collapse blog, you may not have noticed, but our planet is becoming increasingly unstable.  According to Volcano Discovery, 40 volcanoes around the globe are erupting right now, and only 6 of them are not along the Ring of Fire.  If that sounds like a very high number to you, that is because it is a very high number.  As I have written about previously, there were a total of 3,542 volcanic eruptions during the entire 20th century.  When you divide that number by 100, that gives you an average of about 35 volcanic eruptions per year.  So the number of volcanoes that are erupting right now is well above the 20th century’s average for an entire calendar year.  And of course we are witnessing a tremendous amount of earthquake activity as well.  Nepal was just hit by the worst earthquake that it had seen in 80 years, and scientists are telling us that the Himalayas actually dropped by an astounding 3 feet as a result of that one earthquake.  How much more does our planet have to shake before people start paying attention?

Of course the things that we have been seeing lately are part of a much larger long-term trend.  Seismic activity appears to have been getting stronger over the past few decades, and now things really seem to be accelerating.  The following is how one news source recently summarized what we have been witnessing…

If it seems like earthquakes and erupting volcanoes are happening more frequently, that’s because they are. Looking at global magnitude six (M6) or greater from 1980 to 1989 there was an average of 108.5 earthquakes per year, from 2000 to 2009 the planet averaged 160.9 earthquakes per year: that is a 38.9% increase of M6+ earthquakes in recent years. Unrest also seems to be growing among the world’s super-volcanoes. Iceland (which is home to some of the most dangerous volcanoes on the planet), Santorini in Greece, Uturuncu in Bolivia, the Yellowstone and Long Valley calderas in the U.S., Laguna del Maule in Chile, Italy’s Campi Flegrei – almost all of the world’s active super-volcanic systems are now exhibiting some signs of inflation, an early indication that pressure is building in these volcanic systems.

But of course most Americans are never going to care about any of this until it starts affecting them personally.

Well, perhaps they should start paying attention to the warning signs.  In recent weeks we have seen significant earthquakes in Michigan, Texas, Mississippi, California, Idaho And Washington.  In addition, it is being reported that pressure is building in dormant volcanoes in Arizona and California.  Just because we have not had a killer earthquake or a large volcanic eruption in the U.S. in recent years does not mean that it will always be that way.  Right now the entire planet appears to be waking up, and this especially seems to be true of the Ring of Fire.

If you are not familiar with the Ring of Fire, just imagine a giant ring that runs around the outer perimeter of the Pacific Ocean.  Approximately 90 percent of all earthquakes and approximately 75 percent of all volcanic eruptions occur within this area, and the entire west coast of North America is considered to be part of the Ring of Fire.

For so long, the west coast has been incredibly blessed not to have experienced a major seismic event.  But scientists tell us that it is only a matter of time.

And right now, just about every other part of the Ring of Fire is shaking violently.

For example, a magnitude 6.8 earthquake just hit Japan on Wednesday

A magnitude-6.8 earthquake that shook northeast Japan on Wednesday was an aftershock of the devastating 2011 quake that triggered a massive tsunami and nuclear power plant meltdown.

 

“We consider this morning’s earthquake to be an aftershock of the 2011 Northeastern Pacific Earthquake,” said Yohei Hasegawa, an official at the Japanese meteorological agency.

 

The temblor, which struck just after 6 a.m. local time (5 p.m. ET Tuesday), was sparked by the Pacific tectonic plate “subducting,” or moving under, the main land plate, he added.

Hasegawa warned that more tremors may be on the way.

One Japanese expert is warning that Japan “might have entered an era of great earthquakes and volcanic eruptions“, and considering the immense devastation that the great earthquake and tsunami of 2011 caused, that is a very sobering assessment.

Meanwhile, a series of very strong earthquakes have struck Papua New Guinea recently as well.  The following comes from the Washington Post

A powerful earthquake rattled Papua New Guinea on Thursday, the fourth strong quake to hit the South Pacific island nation in a week. The temblor prompted officials to issue a local tsunami warning, but it was lifted shortly afterward with no reports of damage.

 

The 7.1-magnitude quake struck about 150 kilometers (94 miles) southwest of the town of Panguna on Bougainville Island at a depth of 23 kilometers (14 miles), the U.S. Geological Survey reported.

Once again, just because things have always been a certain way does not mean that they will always be that way.

As Americans, we are not accustomed to being concerned about major earthquakes and massive volcanic eruptions, but that could soon change in a big way.

The truth is that our planet and our sun are changing in ways that are unpredictable and that our scientists don’t completely understand.

For example, a recent LiveScience article discussed the fact that scientists are deeply puzzled by the fact that the magnetic field of our planet is getting weaker 10 times faster than previously believed…

Scientists already know that magnetic north shifts. Once every few hundred thousand years the magnetic poles flip so that a compass would point south instead of north. While changes in magnetic field strength are part of this normal flipping cycle, data from Swarm have shown the field is starting to weaken faster than in the past. Previously, researchers estimated the field was weakening about 5 percent per century, but the new data revealed the field is actually weakening at 5 percent per decade, or 10 times faster than thought. As such, rather than the full flip occurring in about 2,000 years, as was predicted, the new data suggest it could happen sooner.

And in a previous article, I discussed how one scientist has discovered that activity on the sun is declining at a faster pace “than at any time in the last 9300 years” right now.

I don’t pretend to have all the answers for why these things are happening, but clearly some very unusual things are taking place.

The earth does seem to be over active , but I think Snyder failed on the statistics:

"As I have written about previously, there were a total of 3,542 volcanic eruptions during the entire 20th century. When you divide that number by 100, that gives you an average of about 35 volcanic eruptions per year. So the number of volcanoes that are erupting right now is well above the 20th century’s average for an entire calendar year. "

If you have 3542 eruptions in a century, that does not tell you how many in total are erupting at any one time. Eruptions can last for years. The better count would be how many NEW eruptions began this year. Carry overs from last year don't count towards his average.

Would be interesting to calculate if we are really above average for volcanoes. A few years ago, the number of big earthquakes was quite high compared to the previous few decades.

Buy FAZ and hold for the next 60 days to 6 months.  Research indicates that Chicago is going to get hit by a dirty nuke false flag event then WWIII is started with the nuclear strikes inside Iran

FAZ is an Inverse ETF that goes up when the market goes down. I have more information than the links I am sending you.  If this event does occur then FAZ will go up 40-80x whatever you invest.

I have a better tip for everyone. Note the current price of FAZ and place an imaginary bet. Now go here: https://www.casinoeuro.com/en/table-games/roulette/

It's free roulette, but it's in those odd Euro things. I have a vague idea how roulette works but it seems sort of self-explanatory for a losers game. Randomly click on crap and vary the amount you bet each time. See if you can tolerate the light piano tunes for more than 20 minutes without killing your dog.

Do this continuously for the next 60 days to 6 months. When you drop over, exhausted and drooling (or they cut your internet connection) note the price of FAZ.

Compare your imaginary FAZ winnings with your imaginary roulette winnings. How did you do?

I guarantee you that you will have lost FAR LESS on your roulette bets than you will have lost on your imaginary FAZ bet. 

Sorry, cmncdee. I sat at the FAZ table far too long to ever bet real FRNs on that rigged POS. The government doesn't want financial stocks to drop. They have far more money and staying power than you ever will. If worse comes to worse, they will just change the rules on you at the last minute. Prohibiting shorting of financial stocks comes to mind. Don't be that sucker - I volunteered first and am passing on that wisdom on to you. Of course, things could be different for you this time.

Seriously, go play roulette. If you figure out what orph. means, then come back and educate me. I won some fake Euros on it.

Inuit warn that the sun does not rise and set in the same place (in several villages).

We recently had 4 terromotos in less than 30 days above 7 on the Richter.

Two huge Tsunames.

Numerous volcanoes manifesting.

I'm 52 years old and when I was little, moon-shaped "C" was "crescent" shaped "D" was dwindling.

Today the two are most often in the form of "U" (I'm in the Southern Hemisphere, near Brasília (capital of Brazil).

I sometimes have the impression that something is wrong in the relationship Earth / Sun / LUA.

Something that our sensors do not notice, were not calibrated for this.

Only empirical observation.

The migration of Magnetic Poles may be an explanation but I do not think that's the one.

Well, they are my humble impressions.

There are more!

Accompany climate satellite imagery for over 18 years.

Satellites like SOHO monitoring the Sun, pages like the USGS earthquakes since they were made available online.

I tell you, there is manipulation.

It is not conspiracy theory.

Lately graphics SOHO do not match the views.

Working with sensitive government networks intranet.

I feel incredible variations in Network occur when solar sensibilities, I see the satellite videos, graphics disagree.

I am a technician, Geographer, the year work in network maintenance, many here have read my reports.

Frankly, I'm getting scared of what I witness.

Computer labs where the grounds were decent longer (and it was not for lack of water in the soil - the best place to put ground rods is around septic tanks).

There is something strange.

Just do not know what.

People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” - Luke 21:25-28

Here I have my beliefs and I believe it will take a beating (or "-") from all angles.

I believe that God exists but is a eletrogâmica entity as we are.

I think our body dies, our energy spend time in limbo and back.

I believe that Buddha liked to McDonald's.

I believe that whoever is caught will go to hell because in the Bible it is written that heaven is here on earth.

I believe that the Torah is a continuation of some obscure text written in Iraq.

I believe that the more one lowers his head more shown the ass.

I believe that Muhammad ate 72 virgins and died because the parents of the girls have managed it.

I think this business (already lived near a mosque or evangelical temple?) To stay shouting prayers is something for people who think God is deaf.

I think there pedophilia in the Catholic Church because the priest can not marry (Holy shit, like a guy who is not married can advise couples?).

I think doing a "dispatch" as the african make at crossroads requesting blessings is very good (I have much whiskey, vodka, good quality drips after the guys left their offerings).

I think too cold or too hot is not good for the body.

I think a few beers is very good.

I think we will all be fucked very soon.

I doubt that many people think that volcanoes are caused by climate change, and seismic activity (since you brought up plate shifting) is more likely to be blamed on fracking than anything. By creating a charicature of your opponent, you have a barrier that will prevent you from understanding them. Understanding your opponent is critical to arriving at any actual truth. It's why I'm willing to enter a den of conservatives and argue with them - I'm okay with being wrong and want my own bullshit challenged. (Please don't assume my anti-conservative stance is pro-liberal by default)

Half the state of Arizona witnessed that creepy stuff just above your roof, silent, way too slow moving, way too massive, triangles with orange lights that would split off from eachother and then reattatch and appear solid, this occurred in the late 90's, the incident was known as the "phoenix lights".  Whatever it was the very environment went still, just bizarre.  Being that this is AZ we just assumed that the government wanted to kill us all, still no answers.  Apparently they flew all the way into Mexico.  A politician was sacked and a documentary was made as a result.

Love this stuff.  Can't get enough of it.  For those pipedreamers out there, I am sorry but it's highly doubtful this will unfold at the District of Columbia anytime soon.  California being closer to the Ring of Fire stands better chance, so all hope is not lost.

 

Let's hope it blows big!

To profit from Izu Oshima’s new popularity, the Tokyo Bay Steamship Company set up a daily steamship line to the island and the brim of Mount Mihara picked up the new name of “Suicide Point”. In 1933 alone, 944 people would jump into the crater. In the two years that followed saw an additional 350 suicides and visitors would often travel to Mount Mihara just to watch people jump.

An island with only 130 humans. I want to live there.

The characteristics of the Maunder Minimum (mini-iceage) were Volcanoes, El Ninos, Solar Shutdown (few sunspots with hardly any earth directed CMEs), droughts, and then lots of ice and snow for 80 years.

Part of the larger mini ice age that endured from 1350 to 1850 or thereabout.

Japan're fucked!

Fukushima Northeast, Southwest this volcano!

In the center printing money, a population that do not fuck (do children), a lot of old prá support.

If it were Japanese, I apologize for past shit and ask China a space in the middle of the desert to save what is left of that mountain of rock in the middle of the Pacific.

There is no omen.

The human being is the same ass!

Living in Hawaii, on the slopes of Etna, en route to Twisters in the Midwest, live in Japan, California is all the same.

They know that if evil will but are there.

Climbing Everest is the same.

The reason?

Die?

A rope or a gun solve the problem more easily.

MOAR fearmongering by Michael Snyder, who for all his talk about "love" and neat lists, is mainly your run-of-the-mill Protestant doom and gloom soapbox prophesier.

His data is phony. There is actually a slight decrease in overall volcanic activity.

As for Japan, the country has always lived with its over 100 active volcanoes.

The global warmists are pleased by this so they can blame humans for the increase in co2 this will have provided. I am sure that even if they acknolwedge the volcano icnreasing co2 that will blame humans for it errupting. I am sure they blame humans for everything that naturally happens.

I looked at some property on the island of Cameguin in the Philippines last November. Fabulous million dollar view looking out over the Bohol sea towards Leyte and Bohol but the property was on the side of a volcano overdue for eruption. No wonder the guy wanted to sell it.

Damn it sure was nice though. Damnit.

Hope the Japs don't have some nuclear power plant near the erupting volcano there.
