"Dead" Volcano Erupts Again


Chaiten Volcano Erupts in Chile

SANTIAGO, Chile (Feb. 20) - More than 150 people who had returned to a Chilean town destroyed by a volcanic eruption last year were evacuated again on Thursday as the volcano roared back to life, spewing ash high into the air.

The explosion apparently rocked the dome of the Chaiten volcano and sent volcanic material down the mountain's slope, threatening to block a river and trigger flooding, said Paula Narvaez, a presidential delegate to the area in southern Chile.

Experts who flew over the volcano reported "large emanation of gas" on Thursday and said the situation is risky for the nearby seaside town of Chaiten because rains could trigger avalanches.

"The experts were unanimous in considering that no one must remain in Chaiten," Chile's Emergency Bureau said in a communique.

Narvaez said that as many as 160 people were evacuated from the vicinity of the 2,700-foot volcano.

More than 4,000 people were initially evacuated after Chaiten erupted on May 2 for the first time in an estimated 9,000 years.

On Thursday, increased seismic activity was reported and ash fell 100 miles away in Futaleufu.

Some residents of Chaiten, six miles from the like-named volcano, have strongly resisted government efforts to relocate them to a new settlement following the devastating eruption last year.

Residents opposed to the move in recent weeks staged protests in the town's ruins, amid houses buried under ash and volcanic mudflows.

Narvaez said the situation on Thursday "was exactly the kind of danger we were talking about when we decided to relocate Chaiten."

The relocation site has yet to be determined.

For the second time in less than a year Chaiten volcano has erupted after being dormant for over 9000 years. We will keep an eye on this volcano and story. People, "just pay attention to things that are taking place on the planet. A shift is coming and some things have already been set in motion".

"NEW" Volcanic Activity Globally

Llaima Volcano, Chile
Volcano on Alaskan Island Erupts

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (July 13) - A fishing vessel rescued 10 people after a volcano erupted, sending rocks and ash down on a cattle ranch on a remote island in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska.

The Tara Gaila picked up the people Saturday evening after receiving an urgent call from the Coast Guard. The fishing vessel brought them to Dutch Harbor about 65 miles away, where they were staying at a hotel on Sunday.

There were no reported injuries, said Coast Guard Petty Officer Levi Read.

Lonnie Kennedy, who lives on Umnak Island at the base of the 3,500-foot volcano with members of his family and a couple of ranch hands, said all seemed normal until late Saturday morning.

"We heard something that sounded like thunder and went outside and right away realized it wasn't thunder. It sounded like huge rocks rolling or something," he said. "I told everyone it sounds like the volcano is blowing up and we need a plan to get out of here."

This is but one more example of the recent volvanic activity going on around the planet these days. I just got off the phone with my brother Billy, who lives on the Big Island in Hawaii. He lives near the base of Kilauea Volcano which just had lava eruptions July 8, 2008. The lava there flows to the ocean.

Also, starting on July 3, 2008, Llaima Volcano in Cherquenco, Chile, one of South Americas most active volcanos, started erupting ash clouds and lava. This, comes on the heels of Chaiten Volcano which started erupting in May 2008. Chaiten has all but totally destroyed Chaiten, Chile and continues to erupt after thousands of years of dormancy.

Last but not least, Ijen Volcano, in Bondowoso, Indonesia started erupting on June 21, 2008.

Based on the pundits and believers of the "2012" prophecy, "increased volcanic activity will be a prelude to things to come".Bobby Sharpe's "Techertainment": "2012" The Movie, "2012" The Prophecy

Chaiten Volcano To Go On Erupting In Chile

Lightening mixed in with volcanic eruption
As I am sure most of YOU know that the Chaiten Volcano in Chile has been erupting for a week or more now. Though there has not been a lava flow down the mountain as of yet, it is still causing much damage, destruction and worry. Scientist are saying that this volcano could keep erupting for months to come. The ash and gases cloud that it is, and has, put out, is causing many problems that are likely to effect way more than just Chile. Supposedly, it is still to early to tell how this "cloud" will effect weather patterns and climate

If YOU would like to see some more pictures from the area, go toChaiten volcano eruption to go on . We will stay on top of this story and keep YOU updated as best as possible.
