My comment: I wanted to mention that the collapse of the mountain into the sea does not have to be connected to volcanic action or a huge explosion from the volcano. It can happen from just an earthquake. So the fact that volcanic pressure is being released for almost a week now does not mean the risk is over and won't happen. Scientists lined out what could happen on la Palma island, but no one can predict with certainty what will actually happen. It probably won't happen. But the risk was real enough and large enough to justify warning the public. GE

Thousands of people are now fleeing the Island of LaPalma as the volcanic eruption there continues to grow worse. New heat sources appeared in the ocean off the island's coast, and this expansion of the eruption is sending thousands to piers, trying to flee the island.

Island authorities are to install heat sensors to try to determine how vast the lava expulsion is, that's taking place underwater.

The troubling aspect to this is clear: If the volcano is erupting a mile from shore up on the hill, and is now also erupting out in the ocean, then the entire area between those two points is clearly subject to the eruption, and that could cause the island to literally SPLIT APAPRT.

Residents and tourists on LaPalma have been slowly and steadily leaving the island for days, via the airport. But the airport had to close this week because smoke, volcanic ash, and sulfur dioxide vapor has made flying dangerous.

Once the airport had to shut down, people starting heading to the piers to leave by boat, but the flow was manageable . . . until today.

When the heat blooms registered in the ocean, it caused a very big uptick in people trying to leave.

Better late than never, but things are only getting worse on the tiny island.

As shown above in the Municipality of El Paso, the only option for those who have seen their flights canceled and others who now want to leave, is to get on one of the boats that leave the port.

The surge of passengers has led the two shipping companies that operate with La Palma to strong>increase the number of ships that cover the route between Santa Cruz de La Palma and the Los Cristianos dock, in the south of Tenerife.

Will the eruption cause the island to split in half? No one knows. These people are not staying to find out.
