It was two or three weeks ago, I can't remember clearly. A friend of mine told me that this winter the weather in her country was being extremely rough. Everything was snowed and the wind blew with an evil force, blowing down trees and pots that she had in her garden. One of them was overed in buds waiting for the sun to appear, but instead of that gale force wind put an end to its life. That pot was like a member of the family and when it crashed into the floor its branches were broken and when it happened, a part of my friend's heart was broken too.
She seemed affected and told me that she was looking forward to her next holidays, 'I can't stand this cold weather' she told me. We both coincide the weather is changing. In my city this winter is been extremely rough too and, in our opinion, it's a fact that the global warming effects are growing up, making the weather forecast almost unpredictable.
I asked her where she was going to go and she told me three fantastic words, the Canary Islands and then happened what usually happens when someone mentions you about something or somebody, you start hearing of this on TV, in papers and so on, but last Sunday I was placidly watching TV when a documentary started and, do you guess what the documentary was about?, yes you are right, the Canary Islands.
The documentary was about the volcanic origin of the islands, but there is one of them which is particularly dangerous because it is very prone to these kind of phenomenons, La Palma island.
After showing the spectators breathtaking views, beaches and laurisilva forest, the narrator started talking about the hidden danger that it is inside the island. According to an American research, scientists believe that there is quite a lot water running inside the slept volcanoes. They are in the opinion that if these volcanoes were awaken, the water steam generated by the heat, would raise the temperature inside the mountains and, apart from the tremendous eruption, would provoke a chain of unpredictable magnitude explosions.
These chain of explosions would make the left side of the Island fall inside the sea, what would unleash a fifty meters tsunami after 6 or seven hours the explosions and landslide happened. The tsunami would hit the Us East Coast, Brazil and the Caribbean Islands.This terrible disaster might affect 100 million people.

P.S. Have a great time !

Well, I'm sure that Cumbre Vieja volcano is not going to be awakenED. It's not time for it to set off the alarm clock. My friend has to enjoy her journey before THAT!. The Canary Islands are one of the best landscapes Spain has and I'd like to think that the predictions of this research are never going to happen, because the unthinkable is already happening in Spain and a six million unemployed people tsunami is hitting us with unpredictable consequences in the near future.
Well done. Has Morocco claimed the Canary Islands yet? The dispute over the Malvinas/Falklands makes me wonder.
Thank you Matt.
ReplyDeleteAt the moment Morocco hasn't claimed the Canary Islands yet, they're more worried about Ceuta and Melilla, but who knows!.
