Krakatoa Volcano (Indonesia): Violent Eruption, Ash To 47,000 Ft Altitude (Breaking News)
Volcano Discovery ^ | 4-10-2020

Posted on 04/10/2020 4:12:15 PM PDT by blam

A large magmatic eruption is taking place at the volcano right now. Based on satellite imagery, VAAC Darwin spotted a high-level ash and SO2 plume reaching 47,000 ft (15 km) altitude moving WNW.

A strong thermal hot spot is detected as well. Both the webcam on Anak Krakatau Island and from the coast (in 40 km distance) show strong lava fountaining from the volcano.

This seems to be the strongest eruptive phase since the violent phreatomagmatic activity following the partial collapse of the volcano on 22 Dec 2018, which had triggered a deadly tsunami that killed hundreds of people on Java's west coast.

They’re rioting in Africa
They’re starving in Spain
There’s hurricanes in Florida
And Texas needs rain
The whole world is festering with unhappy souls
The french hate the Germans, the Germans hate the Poles
Italians hate Yugoslavs, South Africans hate the Dutch
And I don’t like anybody very much!!
But we can be tranquil and thankful and proud
For man’s been endowed with a mushroom-shaped cloud
And we know for certain that some lovely day
Someone will set the spark off
And we will all be blown away!!
They’re rioting in Africa
There’s strife in Iran
What nature doesn’t so to us
Will be done by our fellow man

13 When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command the locust to devour the land, or send pestilence among my people, 14 if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

Based on numbers reported by the Guttmacher Institute 1973-2017, with 3% added for GI estimated possible 3-5% undercount for 1973-2014.

Another 12,000 per year added for 2015-2019 for abortions from “providers” GI says it may have missed in 2015-2017 counts.

Actually, the ash from a huge volcano (or numerous ones) will block out the sunlight and make it cooler. When Krakatoa went off in the late 1800’s it caused “the year without summer” in Europe.

A link came up in my web browser about a week ago about Krakatoa.

It has photos from an old book which I have (a reproduction) somewhere around the house. Huge book with water color paintings, all sorts of science stuff, ships diaries, personal accounts - a whole interesting mix of accounts from eruption.

It includes tidal measurements from the Thames(?) that shows the disturbance from the eruption! As well as other tidal measurements from around the world.

“You forgot locusts. . . And pandemic. . .”

https://observer.ug/news/headlines/64159-locusts-invade-karamoja-again

“Marimoi explained that the production department could not immediately track the movement of the locusts because the department was ill-prepared. The invasion of the locusts comes at a time the country is struggling to contain the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. “

We used to live among these people... :-(

Evacuation was prohibited due to the possibility of spreading coronavirus. Krakatoans and East Javans are told to remain indoors, wash their hands, cough into their elbows and avoid large gatherings. Since evacuation would cause large gatherings, they are prohibited and anyone caught evacuating would be subject to penalties including being shot on sight and fines of 100 dollars.

Earlier this week I was speaking with a friend about the current pandemic and I told him ... "Well, at least Krakatoa isn't erupting!".

I guess I spoke too soon! :O
