As of yesterday the main cone and vents collapsed, but erruptions continue.
Unbelievable.

Half an hour ago, the island was shaken by a strong magnitude 5.1 quake at 39 km depth beneath the center of Cumbre Vieja at 7.24 a.m. local time. This is the strongest-so-far tremor since the start of the seismic crisis and volcanic eruption in September.
While volcanic tremor is very high and bright glow from the eruption site indicates that activity also is elevated, this quake could mean that yet another pulse of magma from a deep source is under way; if so, activity might increase in the course of the day.

One of the items on my buscket list is to see a volcano errupt.
I have some pieces from some ancient volcanic ranges. Mostly ancient ones that are in Wisconsin.
Some from Mt. Saint Helens.
Side note on Mt. Saint Helens. My Grandfather was friends with someone who moved there to establish an apple orchard in the 1920's. My Grandfather considered joining him in the business and was there for some time helping his friend establish the orchard.
My Grandfather eventually moved back to Wisconsin.
My Grandfathers friend stayed at his place during the erruption in 1980. It was located very close. He wanted to do what he could to save his orchard and home. He was killed at the time, due to lava flow or lava bombs. No one knows for sure which, as his orchard and home were under several feet of lava and he was never seen since the erruption. My Grandfather was notified by family members of his friend.
My Grandfather asked me to do a painting of Mt. St. Helens in the 1970's. It was one of the first HS art class paintings I did. It hung in my Grandfathers bedroom for many years. he was bedridden since the late 1970's. I still have the painting.
I have some early photos of the area of the orchard and area.

fernwood I'm right there with you, seeing one in person is a must do at some point. Same with seeing a tornado or maybe a hurricane. That's quite the story about your grandpa's friend, different times. I wonder if they'd force people to evacuate now. |

That's quite the story about your grandpa's friend, different times. I wonder if they'd force people to evacuate now. I have been thorough and seen 12 tornadoes. Photographed two of them. Maybe I was not being as safe as I should have been just to get the photos. Was most recently on the phone with the NWS when there were 75+ MPH straight line winds at my place. All of a sudden things changed to have tornado characteristics. I stayed on phone as long as I couold, thgen bailed to basement. Good news is that there were 4 trees down and my horse barn was twisted off foundation and some of the roof ended up in cow pasture. No animals were injured. |

About 50 days after the Cumbre Vieja volcano in the Canary Islands erupted in September, unleashing lava flows and destroying homes, churches and stores, a beekeeper returned to one of the devastated villages to see what the volcano had done to his hives.
What he found shocked beekeepers and delighted scientists: Inside five hives that had been covered in volcanic ash were tens of thousands of bees, still alive and buzzing away.
