**BREAKING TAMBORA VOLCANO ALERT - LAST MAJOR ERUPTION VEI 7 IN 1815!** | |
| MR B0B User ID: 36194150  United Kingdom04/06/2013 01:45 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Doom on folks, well perhaps... The alert has been officially raised after EQ activity. This mother of volcanoes produced a VEI 7 in 1815. It killed 10's of thousands all over the world. It created 'the year without summer' in the northen hemisphere in 1815 due to ash in the atmosphere. Crops failed and the northern hemisphere suffered huge famines. This is a big one to watch! Saturday 6th April 2013 Tambora Volcano, Indonesia Tambora volcano, Indonesia was raised to level 2 alert (waspada) on 5th April 2013, after an increase in seismic activity. Tambora is one of the world's most dangerous volcanoes. In 1815 it produced the world's largest historic explosive eruption with the loss of 117,000 lives. The most recent eruption is not well documented, but occurred about 1967. A magnitude 6.1 earthquake hit 29 km NE of the summit of Tambora volcano on 8th May 2010. During 2004 a buried town was discovered near the volcano. It has been called the Pompeii of the East because of the preservation of human artefacts. (snip) [link to www.volcanolive.com]  |

Strangely enough another significant event coincides: Last perihelion September 12, 1811 The Great Comet of 1811, formally designated C/1811 F1, is a comet that was visible to the naked eye for around 260 days, a record it held until the appearance of Comet Hale-Bopp in 1997. In October 1811, at its brightest, it displayed an apparent magnitude of 0, with an easily visible coma. |

Called Pan-STARRS, the comet passed within 100 million miles of Earth on Tuesday, its closest approach in its first-ever cruise through the inner solar system. The ice ball will get even nearer the sun this weekend — just 28 million miles from the sun and within the orbit of Mercury. |

An event in one area can trigger other events around the world if they are big enough. Compared to the size of the world those two places are not very far from each other. I'm not saying that it is guarenteed the volcano will erupt, but I would be prepared to leave the area just in case. The Indo-australian plates have been having A LOT of activity lately.

It would take hundreds if not thousands of years for Tambora's Chamber to fill with enough magma enabling it to erupt with the power it did in 1815. Before the eruption. it was described as a huge mountain. |
