"Okay predicting flooding is no great shakes and Etna is the Italian pressure release valve along with Stromboli, which stops Vesuvius wiping out Naples. These 'release valves' are all over the world most notably in Indonesia, Central America, Hawaii and Iceland. I've got a feeling about Japan and New Zealand though"
So what happens?
Shinmoedake peak, a mountain in the Kirishima volcanic range between Kagoshima and Miyazaki prefectures, erupts for a sixth day.
9:22AM GMT 31 Jan 2011
Ash and rocks fell across a wide swathe of southern Japan as one of Mount Kirishima's many calderas continued to erupt, promping authorities to raise alert levels and call for an evacuation of all residents within a two kilometre radius of the mountain.
The 1,421-metre (4,689-foot) volcano has been belching smoke and ash into the air since late on Wednesday.
It is inappropriate to say I told you so in light of such a tragedy.
Logic and reason can foresee such events but it isn't an exact science and it would be impossible to pinpoint exactly where such tragedies will occur. I'm not going to make anymore predictions because when they occur I feel bad. If you read back through my posts you will see I have had a knack for being very accurate in what I have predicted.
One thing I will reiterate my warnign about though is something that can be averted.
Something else which occurred recently and which I have warned previously about, was the solar flare that struck disrupting communications in Southern China. As explained in previous posts it's not the actual solar flare itself that does the damage it is the CME which follows.
I'm not going to repeat myself for the umpteenth time just look at my older posts concerning Coronal Mass Ejections where I have explained how to avoid a melt down of communications when one strikes during the solar maximum next year.
