Quakes prompt volcano alert

Fears ... recent earthquakes near Sumatra
have raised the spectre of major eruptions
from eleven volcanoes in the area.

We all have to go sometime.

Earthquake Ping List. Please ping me or send a Freepmail to me if you want to be added to or taken off this list.

"We all have to go sometime."

LOL! If there were a mode of transportation choice, volcano would be low on my list.

[Domestic Church]

Indigestion Ping!

[fivekid]

please put me on your list.

PLEEEEEEEEase pretty pleeeeeeeeease

With sugar on top?

ok, and a cherry:)

The whole area may become a dead zone with frequent volcanoes and tidal waves...much like Hillary Clintons run for president.

Just what the world (does not) need is another massive Krakatoa type volcanic super-blast.

Krakatoa, west of Java, erupted with such fury in 1883 that it reportedly was heard as far away as Bangkok and Australia. It blew the island of Rakata to pieces and killed more than 30,000 people. Some scientists say it was the biggest bang in recorded history.

Okay, I'm confused now. Do quakes cause tsunamis or volcanoes? Or do volcanoes cause quakes and tsunamis? Or do SUV's cause tsunamis, which in turn cause hurricaines and snowstorms? Do mobil homes still cause tornadoes?

Please add me to your list..

The new Krakatoa broke the surface in the early 1920's and is now taller than the old volcano...

[fivekid]

I did not know that. Thank-you.

Was also shocked that there are 131 volcano's.

Very scary.

[Strategerist]

This is a horribly overhyped article; all of this is much less of a big deal than it sounds.

The "eleven volcanoes" were already monitored anyway.

[M. Espinola]

We better get the ear plugs ready. :)

[Strategerist]

The 1889 Krakatau eruption didn't have much of a negative impact on the world at all.

It was simply the local tsunami that killed a lot of people in the immediate area.

Anak Krakatau has also erupted 38 times since 1927 without erupting catastrophically, either, so non-catastrophic eruptions from it are routine.

Remember the Sci-Fi movie.."Ring of Fire"...the Pacific Rim blows up.. a new moon in the sky?

[SLB]

Do mobil homes still cause tornadoes?

Tornadoes will still happen, mobile homes only attract them. Sort of like beaches along oceans attracting more tsunamis than we get at lakes here in central Kentucky.

[M. Espinola]

I recall that movie. It had great effects. The Pacific Ring of Fire has produced the worlds most intense magnitude earthquakes, Chile, Alaska and this latest one in Indonesia.

You may not get tsunamis, but you're not immune to volcanoes. Any one of them Kentucky mountains could decide to blow any time.

[Larry Lucido]

But then you got those Kentucky women to make it all worthwhile.
