| Breaking: Earthquakes indicate Chaiten Eruption about to Intensify |
| 2008-05-24 |
There have been 3 earthquakes in the last few hours in the same area as quakes that preceded the original eruption.
It's likely the Chaiten eruption is about to intensify.
Typically a plinian eruption, which this is, ends in a final large eruptive event. This eruption is already VEI5 and may well end up a VEI6 or larger, making it the largest volcanic eruption since Krakatoa.
Nothing on Google news, so this is a Burg exclusive. |
