Subject: Images Show Ash-Covered Ghost Towns On Spain's Canary Islands |

The eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano on the Spanish
island of La Palma, located off the northwestern coast
of Africa, has been erupting for nearly eleven weeks
with no signs of abating. Soon the eruption could be La
Palma's longest in over 500 years.
The Cumbre Vieja volcano erupted on Sept. 19 and led to
the evacuation of thousands of residents. For the last
75 days, the volcano has spewed lava out of fissures,
unleashed plumes of ash and toxic gasses, and acid
rain.
After two and a half months of non-stop volcanic
eruptions, some parts of the island are unrecognizable
as they're buried in feet of ash. Entire towns and
neighborhoods are entirely covered, and damage could be
upwards of a billion dollars.
Here are some of the most incredible pictures and
videos on social media documenting the ongoing chaos on
La Palma.
Entire homes are buried in ash.
Neighborhoods swallowed whole by ash and lava.
Towns covered in ash up to the rooftops.
How are people going to dig out of this?
Ash is everywhere.
A fissure opens up next to a house covered in ash.
More buildings are buried in feet of ash.
The current eruption could surpass the Tehuya volcano
that spewed lava and ash for 84 days in 1646.
So what about the cleanup on the tiny resort island?
How does one dispose of millions of tons of ash?

Leave it. redistribute out of roads and off small
properties of course....but once it breaks down it might
dramatically increase soil fertility and growth.
However, that is highly dependent on its chemical
composition, and I don't know what thee timeline is for
that.

one bottles it and sells it to the tourists as they did with mt st helens ash. I guess?(I have some a friend gave to me)I think they even made jewelry/etc out of it but chances are things will stay buried for a long time and maybe forever. They are not the only ones who have been buried even recently: mudslides/etc. None of the governments can be prepared for so much happening in this word and people are having to fend for themselves, sigh...even those who are preppers cannot prepare for such unseen circumstances.

He bought an old car and realized something was wrong
weight distribution-wise. Took out the panels and found
the doors to be filled with ash. Looked into its back
history and found that it was in the Mt. St. Helens area
at the time of eruption.
