Monday October 1, 2007
Guardian Unlimited
At least four soldiers are reported dead and more are missing after a
volcanic eruption on a tiny Yemeni island in the Red Sea.
Lava and ash were spewed hundreds of feet into the air during the
explosion on Jabal al-Tair, forcing authorities to evacuate a military
base.
The AFP news agency reported that four Yemeni soldiers were burned to
death and a major rescue operation was mounted for the rest of the
garrison.

Also on BBC News
- a video of it
"An erupting volcano on a Red Sea island off the coast of Yemen has been
captured on camera by a Canadian Navy boat."

Maybe the "Prophetic Warning" emailer got the strength and location wrong?

Nothing negative on here for yesterday and the day before
http://www.wetterzentrale.de/topkarten/tkfaxbraar.htm
I can't speak for this day:
http://www.wetterzentrale.de/topkarten/tkfaxbraar.htm
But it is unusual for a volcanic eruption to occur during such an
active seismic spell. Or at least I haven't noticed one where there
were three huge quakes.
Interesting. |

And those quakes in question are related to a volcanic eruption halfway
around the world, because?

You mean they are not?
I should like to see your absence of proof.
But which earthquake are you so sure about? Or are you just mouthing
your sweet nothings because you don't have anything better to do? |

No connecting fault zone, for one. The quakes in question were deep, as in
a hundred miles or more. The volcano in question is along a spreading
center, so the magma originates not more than 5-10 miles down. The
fracture zone related to the eruption is directly above the magma chamber,
and relatively shallow.

My assumption was that you were referring to the ones off Guam and in New
Zealand. Am I correct? Why would those quakes affect a volcano thousands
of miles away, but not affect the volcanoes in the immediate vicinity? I
humbly await your weathered response.

That last comment sounds rather callous. I wasn't thinking of the pain
and suffering of the victims and what their family must be feeling. My
apologies to them and my sincere condolences. And also for all
involved in the disaster.
I was just commenting on the search for answers that so far have
eluded all involved in geophysics research, professional or amateur. |

What answer do you think this issue needs? There were harmonic tremors for
nearly a week before the eruption occurred. The Yemenis warned people to
stay away from the Island, so it is quite obvious that they thought an
eruption might occur.

Speaking of not knowing things:
Ridge2000, a multi-disciplinary ocean floor scientific research
program suffered a loss this year when quite a few of their
instruments were gobbled up by unexpected magma flow. They will be
participating in the American Geophysical Union's Fall Meeting in San
Francisco in December to reveal the outcome of their latest research
endeavors.

I've only just read this, not being afflicted with any need to follow
your meandering.
So, I gather you must have posted something on the subject prior to
the event? |

I suppose as a penance for something I did or failed to do, I must
read through this crapfest?:

No, of course not. Why would I? I don't pretend to have the powers to
divine earthquakes halfway across the planet based on storms in Scotland.

Not the peninsula. Rift triple junction off the coast.
One arm goes up the Red sea.
