It's blowing its top yet again.

Thousands evacuated amid tsunami threat as Indonesian volcano erupts again.

Indonesian rescuers are racing to evacuate up to 12,000 people after a volcano erupted again, forcing an airport to close and prompting authorities to warn of the potential of a tsunami.

Indonesia's Ruang volcano spewed lava again on Tuesday, less than two weeks since it first erupted.

The Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation (PVMBG) had warned the residents of Tagulandang island that a tsunami could be triggered by volcanic material collapsing into the ocean.

The warning, issued on Tuesday morning local time, remained in placed as of the afternoon.

The agency raised the alert status of Ruang to the highest level following the early morning eruption, urging residents not to go near the volcano.

Indonesia's disaster mitigation agency (BNPB) said that all 843 residents living in Ruang island, where the volcano is located, have been moved to Manado, the capital of North Sulawesi province.

Residents of Tagulandang island are being relocated to Siau island to the north.....

Indonesia's Mount Ibu volcano erupts twice, spewing red-hot lava.

Indonesia's Mount Ibu volcano has erupted twice in the same day, firing bright red lava and rocks into the night sky and triggering a spectacular display of volcanic lightning.

The 1,325 metre volcano on the eastern island of Halmahera erupted twice on Thursday, said Heruningtyas Desi Purnamasari, an official at the country's volcanology agency PVMBG.

The first eruption was at 1:30am local time, spewing incandescent lava and rocks as lightning flashes lit up its crater, PVMBG footage showed.

The second eruption was at 7:46am for two minutes, shooting volcanic ash as high as 1,200m.

Clouds of grey ash billowed into the sky from the crater, images from PVMBG showed.....

Wow! Look at the lightning, if this were the Force universe some could say it's Force Lightning.
Still that is a neat picture there.

New study of the Cascadia subduction zone, published in Science Advances magazine. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adl3198

If this study is correct then it's not good news for the Northern part, off Vancouver Island, with a possible catastrophic 9.0-magnitude earthquake, leading to 40ft tsunami waves.

I have friends in the area. They all know that if the Cascadia ruptures that they are likely toast. But no one believes it will happen in their lifetime.

It's this side's turn again.

A 6.9-magnitude earthquake followed by a 7.1 tremor have struck off Japan, triggering tsunami fears.

A 6.9-magnitude earthquake followed by a 7.1 tremor struck off southern Japan on Thursday afternoon.

The local meteorological agency warned of tsunamis striking coastal areas.

Broadcaster NHK reported that tsunamis of up to one metre were expected to hit or have hit some coastal areas in Kyushu and Shikoku islands.

“Tsunamis will strike repeatedly. Please do not enter the sea or approach the coast until the warning is lifted,” the Japan Meteorological Agency said on X.

There were no immediate reports of any damage; however, vision emerging on social media shows buildings violently shaking as locals and tourists dive for cover......

White Island goes off again, but at least there were on tourists on it this time.

A new eruption has taken place at an infamous volcano off the coast of New Zealand five years after 22 people died.

A minor eruption has taken place at New Zealand’s White Island volcano where 22 people died five years ago.

New Zealand’s geological monitoring service Geonet confirmed the eruption on occurred on Friday afternoon, raising the Volcanic Alert Level to 3.

Geoff Kilgour, duty volcanologist, said satellite data indicated the plume from Whakaari/White Island contained a minor amount of volcanic ash.

He said most of the activity was concentrated between 1-3pm and the ash was being dispersed east-northeast of the island, towards the northern end of East Cape.

“Whakaari is currently experiencing a period of elevated unrest and short-lived steam and ash emissions could continue for some time,” Mr Kilgour said.

“There is a low probability of this ash affecting the mainland.”.....

Meanwhile further north a warning is issued.

Japan's earthquake scientists have warned residents of an eventual 'megaquake'. Here's what that means.

Japanese scientists say the country should prepare for a possible "megaquake" that could kill hundreds of thousands of people—although they stress the warning does not mean a colossal tremor is imminent.

The Japan Meteorological Association (JMA) warning is the first issued under new rules drawn up after a 2011 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster killed around 18,500 people.

The JMA's "megaquake advisory" warns that "if a major earthquake were to occur in the future, strong shaking and large tsunamis would be generated".

"The likelihood of a new major earthquake is higher than normal, but this is not an indication that a major earthquake will definitely occur during a specific period of time," it added.

The advisory concerns the Nankai Trough "subduction zone" between two tectonic plates in the Pacific Ocean, where massive earthquakes have hit in the past.......
