  1. 0:02Hey everyone, Geio Physicist Safon Burns
  2. 0:04here reporting for you live on what is
  3. 0:07happening right now in Indonesia which
  4. 0:10is home to some of the largest and
  5. 0:14deadliest volcanoes in the world and
  6. 0:18well uh that includes Toba. You may know
  7. 0:21of Toba super volcano.
  8. 0:25We have good evidence that the eruption
  9. 0:27of this about 65,000 years ago created a
  10. 0:31human bottleneck and almost wiped out
  11. 0:34the human race, other species, Neanderls
  12. 0:38as well. It was very devastating. Well,
  13. 0:40we've just had the eruption of Crakatau
  14. 0:43volcano,
  15. 0:45often known by many people as Crakatoa.
  16. 0:48Now it's Anac Crakatau, the child of
  17. 0:52Krakatoa, but we can just call it
  18. 0:54Crakatoa. Crakatau gets the point
  19. 0:57across. This was back on the 4th and 5th
  20. 1:00of September. Lava fountains to 5,000
  21. 1:04ft. That is about a mile up. So, this
  22. 1:08was a gigantic eruption sent off a bunch
  23. 1:12of ash into the atmosphere. And well
  24. 1:16that rained down across the area and
  25. 1:19caused quite a lot of problems, flight
  26. 1:22delays, health problems, and more. Now,
  27. 1:24Krakatoa is famous for its eruption in
  28. 1:271883
  29. 1:28where it just violently exploded, killed
  30. 1:31more than 30,000 people. There was one
  31. 1:34town in particular, just read about this
  32. 1:36today, where the ash came down, it was
  33. 1:38searing hot, thousand people gone. So,
  34. 1:42you know, I it gets a little gruesome,
  35. 1:44but these volcanoes are serious
  36. 1:48business. Of course, we have more than
  37. 1:49just these two in Indonesia. We can also
  38. 1:52go over here to Mount Tambbora. And you
  39. 1:55may know of Mount Tambora for having
  40. 1:57erupted in 1815, triggering the year
  41. 2:00without a summer.
  42. 2:03So we have two of the last biggest
  43. 2:07eruptions right here next to each other
  44. 2:09in Indonesia with Krakatau in 1883 in
  45. 2:13Mount Tambbor in 1815.
  46. 2:16Toba being a super volcano does not
  47. 2:18erupt as frequently but the reason why
  48. 2:20there is a lake there is because well
  49. 2:22the whole thing exploded.
  50. 2:25So Indonesia has many other active
  51. 2:27volcanoes. These are probably the three
  52. 2:31big ones, but there are others as well.
  53. 2:33We've been seeing a lot of volcanic
  54. 2:34activity actually. It's quite notable
  55. 2:36across uh this part of the globe with
  56. 2:39Indonesia, the Philippines, but really
  57. 2:43those two countries have been
  58. 2:45exceptionally active. The Ring of Fire,
  59. 2:47Eastern Pacific has been uh or sorry,
  60. 2:50Western Pacific has been exceptionally
  61. 2:52active. Well, let me show you the
  62. 2:54earthquake activity that we've had just
  63. 2:56this year. Okay, 2026. So, let me turn
  64. 2:58this on. Boom.
  65. 3:01Look at the pattern that we see. We see
  66. 3:04a big earthquake magnitude 6.5 that
  67. 3:08struck just a week after this big
  68. 3:12eruption at Anac Krakattow right here,
  69. 3:14right outside deep earthquake, deep
  70. 3:16focus 340 kilometers down.
  71. 3:20So that's interesting that after this
  72. 3:23very significant eruption, largest since
  73. 3:252018, some people are even saying it's
  74. 3:27the largest since 1883. I I'm not
  75. 3:30exactly sure about that, but generally a
  76. 3:32big notable eruption, the biggest of
  77. 3:352026. Um, we have a week later a deep
  78. 3:39magnitude 6.5. And this very well could
  79. 3:42be connected into the whole magma
  80. 3:44plumbing system of a nacraattow. Either
  81. 3:47that could be a melt pulse like a pulse
  82. 3:50of melt of magma coming up from the
  83. 3:53mantle or that could have been a conduit
  84. 3:55collapsing.
  85. 3:57It's also possible that they're
  86. 3:58completely unrelated, but I don't think
  87. 4:00so because we see this connection
  88. 4:02between earthquakes and volcanoes. And
  89. 4:04when the timing is just one week after
  90. 4:06the most significant eruption and it's a
  91. 4:08deep focus, which is an unusual
  92. 4:09earthquake to begin with, then you know
  93. 4:12something is up. Okay. Well, look here.
  94. 4:15Toba super volcano. Okay,
  95. 4:18look at that. There's a magnitude 6.9
  96. 4:20that struck just outside Toba. Also
  97. 4:23pretty deep. That's an intermediate
  98. 4:24depth earthquake. Actually, those are
  99. 4:26some of the most rare um 175 kilometers
  100. 4:30down that occurred less than a month
  101. 4:32ago. Okay. one day before that
  102. 4:37uh we had over here that was actually on
  103. 4:40the um depends on your time zone but
  104. 4:42basically less than 48 hours after just
  105. 4:46before that we had this magnitude 7.8
  106. 4:49that struck initially came in as a 7.7
  107. 4:53it was at a 7.7 classification for quite
  108. 4:57a long time I just checked the data
  109. 4:58again now it's at a 7.8 8. So, they
  110. 5:00reviewed it, they bumped it up. Uh, this
  111. 5:03originally came in as a 6.6 and it took
  112. 5:06them some time to to reclassify that as
  113. 5:09a 6.5. Look how close Mount Tambbora is
  114. 5:13to the location of the 7.8. And also
  115. 5:16consider how much stronger a magnitude
  116. 5:187.8 is. It basically blasted a shock
  117. 5:21wave all across Indonesia, up, down,
  118. 5:24around everything. We also had the 7.8 8
  119. 5:28that struck the Philippines here,
  120. 5:30southern part on the 7th of June.
  121. 5:33Basically getting this whole party
  122. 5:35started. We had some other notable
  123. 5:37earthquakes that we'll talk more about
  124. 5:39uh as well. But this one here being
  125. 5:41unusual because of how deep it is uh 630
  126. 5:44km down on the 22nd of February in a
  127. 5:48location that's never seen a deep
  128. 5:50earthquake. So effectively we are seeing
  129. 5:53some pretty significant changes occur
  130. 5:55here with the upper mantle and with the
  131. 5:59lower athenosphere because when you're
  132. 6:01in that 630 km range you're in the upper
  133. 6:03mantle and then we see these other big
  134. 6:07earthquakes right next to the biggest
  135. 6:11volcanoes in Indonesia which are some of
  136. 6:13the world's deadliest.
  137. 6:15So um
  138. 6:18basically Krakatoa it's already its own
  139. 6:21story in terms of how this eruption at
  140. 6:23Krakatoa
  141. 6:25could get worse. Here we see what's
  142. 6:27happening now. This is recent footage
  143. 6:29after the big eruption on the fourth and
  144. 6:32fifth. And because it's still been
  145. 6:34erupting ash plumes to 3 kilometers, ash
  146. 6:36plumes of 5 kilometers, not 15 km like
  147. 6:39the initial eruption that launched it
  148. 6:41into the stratosphere. And in fact, on
  149. 6:43my flight back from Maui to San Diego
  150. 6:47yesterday, I think I saw some of that
  151. 6:49ash up there. I think we flew by it. Uh,
  152. 6:52pretty wild, but it's still going. So,
  153. 6:55there's actually been a little bit of
  154. 6:57growth on that central volcano because
  155. 7:00you can see if I really zoom in here,
  156. 7:03you can see the how the entire thing was
  157. 7:06basically exploded, right? That's 1883.
  158. 7:09This used to be one island. the whole
  159. 7:11thing exploded. There's been a little
  160. 7:13bit of growth now from this uh recent
  161. 7:15eruption for this central part. So, let
  162. 7:19me show you this ash from my flight in
  163. 7:22San Diego. Uh I did my best to get it in
  164. 7:25focus, but this is very unusual. We saw
  165. 7:28all the clouds uh around it looking
  166. 7:31totally normal and then there's this
  167. 7:33clear, very long trail of just dark.
  168. 7:38I mean, I guess it could be dark clouds,
  169. 7:41but basically, I think it's really like
  170. 7:43dark clouds that have the ash mixed in
  171. 7:45from Crakatoa. That's what it seems to
  172. 7:47me. Uh because we can also look at a
  173. 7:50different photo I took here just to get
  174. 7:53a time comparison a little bit later. We
  175. 7:55see that these clouds, the resolution is
  176. 7:57low. Uh but these clouds still showing
  177. 8:00up very dark and the other ones taking
  178. 8:02on those uh pinkish and orang-ish hues.
  179. 8:07So I can't definitively say that that's
  180. 8:10ash from Crakatoa, but it's soon enough
  181. 8:12after that eruption and I was also going
  182. 8:14from Hawaii to California and so that's,
  183. 8:17you know, it's all in the Pacific
  184. 8:18theater, you could say. I think it is
  185. 8:21because it's just so bizarre when you
  186. 8:23look at it. Uh it very clearly stands
  187. 8:26out. So, we've been having some really,
  188. 8:28really, really big volcanic eruptions
  189. 8:31and uh this very likely could continue
  190. 8:34because what we're seeing is a pattern
  191. 8:38with our earthquake activity and also
  192. 8:41just in general a geometric pattern with
  193. 8:44these volcanoes. Look at how we have
  194. 8:46this perfect equidistant relationship
  195. 8:48between these volcanoes here. Pretty
  196. 8:50interesting. So, there's and this is all
  197. 8:52right along this major seduction trench,
  198. 8:54right? No surprise that we get big
  199. 8:58volcanoes on this huge subduction trench
  200. 9:01here and also we get huge uh earthquakes
  201. 9:04in this area and now we're seeing this
  202. 9:07larger widespread activation with this
  203. 9:10uh plate here. So, there's different
  204. 9:13plates of the crust and they move and
  205. 9:15everything. And if we're seeing changes
  206. 9:17to the mantle,
  207. 9:19uh maybe it's just a little bit more
  208. 9:22fluid, a little bit more melty, and
  209. 9:24therefore pushing up strongly, the
  210. 9:26plates are able to glide a little
  211. 9:28easier. Everything could start to go
  212. 9:29off. Earthquakes, volcanoes, and more. I
  213. 9:32think Krakatau here could be just the
  214. 9:35first of perhaps a sequence of volcanic
  215. 9:38eruptions to occur. I've been discussing
  216. 9:40the possibility
  217. 9:42of big volcanic eruptions striking in
  218. 9:46the years ahead because of a variety of
  219. 9:48factors. Earth geohysical factors,
  220. 9:51geological factors, space weather
  221. 9:52factors, solar activity factors. The
  222. 9:55next two years are really quite critical
  223. 9:56critical for this. As we go into solar
  224. 9:58minimum and then to solar cycle 26, we
  225. 10:01generally see more volcanic activity
  226. 10:03during the descending and minimum phases
  227. 10:06of a solar cycle. So, if this is what
  228. 10:08we're seeing already and we're not, you
  229. 10:10know, we're like two, three years away
  230. 10:12from solar minimum, maybe we could get
  231. 10:14something a lot bigger. Uh, that is a
  232. 10:17concern. So, hello and welcome everyone.
  233. 10:19I'm yours Burns, geologist, geohysicist,
  234. 10:22space weatherman. And let us get right
  235. 10:25into it. Quick reminder though before uh
  236. 10:28we go any further. I do have a sale
  237. 10:31right now going on the website. This is

  280. 12:10haven't bought something, pick it up
  281. 12:11now. American USA uh orders only. So,
  282. 12:17here we see our latest earthquakes for
  283. 12:19the past week. And we see this magnitude
  284. 12:226.5 that popped off here. And this is
  285. 12:25just north of Jakarta. So when I first
  286. 12:28saw this, I I focus on the fact that it
  287. 12:30is a deep focus earthquake. And you can
  288. 12:33see that this is the largest earthquake
  289. 12:35of the entire last seven days. Um I
  290. 12:39really was like, oh wow, deep focus 372
  291. 12:42km down. That's interesting. Then I
  292. 12:45noticed the proximity of Jakarta, the
  293. 12:47met metropolitan area here is like 40
  294. 12:50million people. So this being a major
  295. 12:53subduction trench, this could easily at
  296. 12:57some point, you know, it's happened
  297. 12:58geologically. It's going to happen again
  298. 13:00in the future. Who knows when you could
  299. 13:02get a magnitude 9 to pop off anywhere
  300. 13:04along this subduction trench basically.
  301. 13:07And if one hit right under Jakarta, it
  302. 13:09would be really bad news. Uh but the
  303. 13:12thing is it's already basically bad news
  304. 13:16because we have crack right here. Now
  305. 13:19the big question the big question is
  306. 13:22okay was that eruption a week ago on the
  307. 13:244th and 5th of September 2026 was that
  308. 13:27just like the big discharge and that's
  309. 13:30all she wrote and we're good or is that
  310. 13:33a preliminary eruption for something
  311. 13:35much bigger? again, lava fountains going
  312. 13:39up to uh basically 5,000 feet, like
  313. 13:43gigantic eruption. Ash plume up into the
  314. 13:46stratosphere.
  315. 13:48Um ash falling all around is a big deal.
  316. 13:52So that's kind of the we don't know. I
  317. 13:56mean, here's the before and after. I'll
  318. 13:58turn myself off here. This is the after
  319. 14:00on the 9th of the 11th of September.
  320. 14:03Here's the 30th of August. And you see
  321. 14:05that central little island has actually
  322. 14:07grown a little bit unlike in 2018 where
  323. 14:10there was a collapse and then a tsunami
  324. 14:12which uh was deadly for I think a few
  325. 14:15dozen people.
  326. 14:17So we are seeing growth out of this and
  327. 14:19honestly it seems to me that this could
  328. 14:21be the beginning of a new phase of
  329. 14:23eruptive activity for Krakatau uh
  330. 14:26because it's still been erupting
  331. 14:27afterwards and then we had this 6.5.
  332. 14:32So again mo you know a lot of people
  333. 14:35some geologists whatever they're going
  334. 14:37to say they're totally unrelated but uh
  335. 14:39let us consider for example how this
  336. 14:43year in 2026 we had two deep focus
  337. 14:48quakes strike Italy that were magnitude
  338. 14:516 and 6.1 we had 6.2 a whole sequence um
  339. 14:57one of those the 6.0 Z I believe was
  340. 15:00directly under Campy Play, Italy's super
  341. 15:02volcano and well that then I think
  342. 15:06actually I have it up on the the next
  343. 15:08slide right here though maybe I drew a
  344. 15:11map area. No. Okay, so I can just show
  345. 15:13you this directly. So look at this one.
  346. 15:16Here's this magnitude 6 that struck
  347. 15:18under camp for gray. I mean campray is
  348. 15:21here. Okay. And this 6.0 zero is there,
  349. 15:26but again it's 375 kilometers down.
  350. 15:29Notice how they're similar in depth,
  351. 15:32right? There's different geologic layers
  352. 15:34at different depths. So the the depth
  353. 15:37here is very very similar, which is
  354. 15:39interesting. We have to go to our our
  355. 15:416.5 here uh to see this guy 372 km.
  356. 15:47Okay, almost the same depth. Well, that
  357. 15:50was back uh on the
  358. 15:549th of March. And then it was only a few
  359. 15:57months later,
  360. 15:59only a few months later that we had a
  361. 16:01magnitude 4.7 earthquake strike camping
  362. 16:05for gray, which is the largest
  363. 16:06earthquake ever recorded. It was right
  364. 16:08in that super volcano system.
  365. 16:11And it has a weak lid. And basically, I
  366. 16:15mean, Campy Fra could go at any time. So
  367. 16:19that that's a clear example of how often
  368. 16:21these deep focus earthquakes precede
  369. 16:24largecale volcanic activity. We can just
  370. 16:26simply go back over here
  371. 16:29um to this guy, our 7.1 that struck on
  372. 16:33the 22nd of February, 629 km down,
  373. 16:37preceding the shallower but still deep
  374. 16:40earthquakes have occurred all around.
  375. 16:41This guy here 175 kilometers down.
  376. 16:43That's the one right outside Toba. You
  377. 16:46know, you think of super volcano, it's
  378. 16:48connected all the way to the mantle. You
  379. 16:50have to for there to be a volcano that
  380. 16:53big, it needs extensive magma plumbing
  381. 16:57going straight into the main source,
  382. 16:59baby. Like it it has to connect in. Um
  383. 17:03so here, this 6.5 372 km down. Smaller
  384. 17:07than the actually well bigger than the
  385. 17:086.0 that struck Italy. Smaller than the
  386. 17:127.8 which just rattled everything. uh
  387. 17:15back on the 14th of August and then we
  388. 17:18also had this magnitude 7.8 there in the
  389. 17:20Philippines just a couple months before.
  390. 17:22But this guy here, if you look at the
  391. 17:24record, there's no record of there being
  392. 17:26a magnitude 7 that deep in this zone.
  393. 17:30And actually just in general, the
  394. 17:31magnitude 7 activity or plus is
  395. 17:35deficient right in this zone. You have
  396. 17:36some like kind of clustered around which
  397. 17:39makes sense closer to the plate
  398. 17:41boundaries. So interesting that you have
  399. 17:43that right in the center of this plate.
  400. 17:48Uh and you also have this this pattern
  401. 17:50that exists. So if we go back here,
  402. 17:54if I turn off I'm going to turn off the
  403. 17:56uh the different markers so we can see
  404. 17:58this a little better. Okay. But you're
  405. 18:01going to see this pretty clearly here.
  406. 18:03I'll put our measuring tool right here
  407. 18:07on Crackatau.
  408. 18:09And look at this nice pattern that
  409. 18:11exists. See this fan kind of sweeping
  410. 18:13across? There's a little bit of variance
  411. 18:15of course in the length of this. But
  412. 18:18we're seeing like a really clear pattern
  413. 18:20here. So here we see the distance from
  414. 18:23Krakattow to this uh earthquake and
  415. 18:26let's also just call it Toba in general
  416. 18:281,200 km. You go over here to Tambbora
  417. 18:31that's 1,400 km. So not much distance
  418. 18:35between uh and it's fairly equivalent
  419. 18:37about 1300 km average between Tambbora,
  420. 18:40Crakatau and Toba. So of this regular
  421. 18:43pacing which is interesting. If you go
  422. 18:46here it's 1780 kilometers from the from
  423. 18:50Krakatau to that 7.8. Uh then 1740
  424. 18:55km from Krakatau to 6.7 which struck uh
  425. 18:59north Sului here which is where we just
  426. 19:02had a freak meteor fly over and explode
  427. 19:07yesterday. So we'll check that out in
  428. 19:09just a little bit. Uh but often, you
  429. 19:12know, when you get these meteors to come
  430. 19:13in and like sonic booms, they're really
  431. 19:15just like messengers from the cosmos and
  432. 19:17like a hey, time to wake up. I mean, we
  433. 19:20got huge earthquakes, huge volcanic
  434. 19:22eruptions. We're getting meteors to
  435. 19:24explode over Indonesia. There's
  436. 19:26something happening here. At at some
  437. 19:27point, you just got to call it. And
  438. 19:30that's what's happening. Uh here we see
  439. 19:32the distance of 1880 kilometers. So, you
  440. 19:34see that they form a fairly regular
  441. 19:36sweep across here. There's other ma like
  442. 19:39lower magnitude sixes in that data uh
  443. 19:42that we can look at, but these are the
  444. 19:44largest most significant earthquakes and
  445. 19:45they form this clear trend. Here we go
  446. 19:47to the 7.4, 4 which struck the 1st of
  447. 19:50April that's 2400 km and the 7.8 is 2500
  448. 19:54km. So they're also fairly equivalent in
  449. 19:57their distance from that central uh node
  450. 20:01there looks like of Krakatau which is
  451. 20:03the volcano that has erupted. We haven't
  452. 20:05seen something from Tambbora. We haven't
  453. 20:08seen something from Toba in this recent
  454. 20:10time frame. Uh but we can see what it
  455. 20:14could look like uh with this
  456. 20:18uh graphic here. So let's check this
  457. 20:21out.
  458. 20:23Here is a comparison graphic. So we have
  459. 20:26Krakattow 1883.
  460. 20:30This number here is dry rock equivalent
  461. 20:33volume. So it's blasting up ash and that
  462. 20:36ash eventually solidifies into different
  463. 20:39layers. And so you can take the what's
  464. 20:42known as dry rock equivalent of that
  465. 20:44ash. And for crackatoa it's like 16 to
  466. 20:4820 cubic kilm. So it's a you know think
  467. 20:51of take a a kilometer in cubit like a
  468. 20:55nice perfect cube. Imagine you're like
  469. 20:56in an open vista. You see this giant
  470. 20:59stone square just sitting there a
  471. 21:01kilometer across. Uh make that 16 or 20
  472. 21:05of those. Okay. That was 1883. Largest
  473. 21:08sound ever heard. blew out people's
  474. 21:09eardrums again very very destructive
  475. 21:12right near Jakarta so you if you were
  476. 21:14just to have something similar to that
  477. 21:15VEI6 eruption from Crackatau
  478. 21:18that'd be very bad for 40 million people
  479. 21:20in the metropolitan area of Jakarta and
  480. 21:22then that's of course there's everyone
  481. 21:24else nearby too there's a lot of people
  482. 21:26in Indonesia it's one of the most
  483. 21:27populous countries in the world Tambbora
  484. 21:301815 they estimate that to be like a 100
  485. 21:33or sorry uh 80 to 100 cubic kilometers
  486. 21:36that's like getting close to a VEI7 the
  487. 21:39lower boundary of a VEI7 eruption and
  488. 21:42then Toba 75,000 years ago. So sorry I
  489. 21:45said 65 75,000 years ago and this was an
  490. 21:49absolute monster near 3,000 cubic
  491. 21:52kilometers. So I mean that is just an
  492. 21:54apocalypse basically and that's why
  493. 21:56there could be a human bottleneck
  494. 21:57because conditions were so rough for so
  495. 21:59long not just a year or two we're
  496. 22:01talking decades afterwards. Um, I mean
  497. 22:05that's probably like a 100, 200, 300
  498. 22:07plus year climate shift that follows at
  499. 22:09least. So massive, massive changes that
  500. 22:13we had to migrate. I'm sure humans in
  501. 22:15Africa and everywhere uh had to move to
  502. 22:18get supplies, food, resources, and more.
  503. 22:21And well, that human bottleneck is a
  504. 22:23testament to just how much mother earth
  505. 22:26can affect us should she choose. And
  506. 22:29well, one reason I'm reporting on this
  507. 22:31for you is because we've been seeing an
  508. 22:34exceptional amount of control from
  509. 22:38uh the Earth as it relates to volcanic
  510. 22:40activity. We're seeing the
  511. 22:42synchronization again, as I mentioned,
  512. 22:44between the earthquakes and the
  513. 22:45volcanoes. But check out what's
  514. 22:47happening right now at Kiloa volcano on
  515. 22:49the big island of Hawaii. Okay. Uh we've
  516. 22:52had a huge amount of eruptions here. I
  517. 22:55think we're coming up on episode 55. Uh
  518. 22:59that will be soon. So that is that's
  519. 23:02happening. But it was supposed to
  520. 23:04actually happen a few days ago. Here's
  521. 23:05an overflow event. There's been dozens
  522. 23:07and dozens of these overflows now over
  523. 23:09the past few days. But we can go to our
  524. 23:12tilt data which really shows us what's
  525. 23:14happening with this volcano.
  526. 23:17And you notice our past week, look at
  527. 23:19how it charged right up to about its
  528. 23:21eruption threshold.
  529. 23:23Instead, it stayed steady. Now, it's
  530. 23:26right there. That's why it's been
  531. 23:27overflowing like this cuz it's right
  532. 23:29there filled up, but it hasn't released.
  533. 23:32And the odd thing about that, we can see
  534. 23:34how this looks in comparison to the
  535. 23:36prior eruptions. And we've seen these
  536. 23:38deflationary episodes, and then it would
  537. 23:40surge up and erupt almost like it
  538. 23:42couldn't stop itself. You know,
  539. 23:43deflation, surge up, and erupt. Same
  540. 23:45thing here. Each one very clear. Well,
  541. 23:48this eruption has been different. and it
  542. 23:51had this deflation very early on where
  543. 23:53all the others charge up very quickly.
  544. 23:55Had a little bit of pause there. Now
  545. 23:56it's having this very long duration
  546. 23:58pause. We don't see anything like that
  547. 23:59in the record. Here it is right here.
  548. 24:02You see some similar activity there
  549. 24:04before in February, but it wasn't as
  550. 24:06precise. Uh the Hawaiians believe in a
  551. 24:09goddess known as Ple, the the lava
  552. 24:12goddess, the volcano goddess. She
  553. 24:14traveled from Indonesia in those Pacific
  554. 24:17Isles to then reside at Kilawea. And so
  555. 24:21there's the spirit of Ple according to
  556. 24:24the Hawaiians. A lot of people believe
  557. 24:25in this. And I mean I personally have
  558. 24:28being there checking out Kiloa like she
  559. 24:31she synchronizes her eruptions with
  560. 24:33clear events. The last eruption was
  561. 24:36synchronized with the anniversary of
  562. 24:37Volcano's National Park which is
  563. 24:40interesting. you know, the caretakers of
  564. 24:42of the area, the National Park Service.
  565. 24:45All the other eruptions going back like
  566. 24:46seven have been synchronized with the
  567. 24:48full moon, the new moon. And in general
  568. 24:50with uh the historic activity of Kiloa,
  569. 24:52we see that there is a pre preferential
  570. 24:54synchronization with those tidal peaks
  571. 24:57because of, you know, new moons and full
  572. 24:58moons are tidal peaks. Well, uh we are
  573. 25:01just now exiting our new moon period.
  574. 25:04So, if she starts to erupt now, she'll
  575. 25:07still be synchronized with the new moon.
  576. 25:09Uh but this in my mind is showing an
  577. 25:11incredible level of precision and
  578. 25:15control by the earth as it relates to
  579. 25:19volcanic activity because it took it
  580. 25:20right there to eruption level and now
  581. 25:23has been holding it precisely. And you
  582. 25:26can't forget that uh Hawaii
  583. 25:30in the Big Island is connected into one
  584. 25:34of the world's largest hotspots if not
  585. 25:37the world's largest hot spot. And this
  586. 25:38in many ways is the world's largest
  587. 25:40volcano. The only reason it doesn't
  588. 25:42really go kaboom is because the the the
  589. 25:45magma that's coming up from depth is
  590. 25:47very very basaltic. It's very, you could
  591. 25:50say thin. It runs out easily. It's it's
  592. 25:53not sticky. So basically it comes up and
  593. 25:55runs out. So uh this is one of the
  594. 25:59premier places on the globe to look for
  595. 26:04signs of what's happening in the deep
  596. 26:07earth. And we're seeing this incredible
  597. 26:09level of precision and control right
  598. 26:11now, which gives me some, you know,
  599. 26:13gives me a feeling that there's there's
  600. 26:15something to this. Now, if we go back to
  601. 26:18that that tilt data, okay, um right
  602. 26:21here,
  603. 26:23right, right when it peaked up, this
  604. 26:26being the 7th of September, that's when
  605. 26:30we had Hurricane Lao rage over Kauaii
  606. 26:34and also Nihow, that category 2 status.
  607. 26:37There's been two big hurricane impacts
  608. 26:40to the islands this year in 2026. We're
  609. 26:42in a super El Nino. Uh and that's very
  610. 26:45notable. I'm going to talk about that
  611. 26:46more in a separate video because in fact
  612. 26:49both the hurricanes LA and Lao they
  613. 26:51swept over some of these billionaire
  614. 26:53doomsday bunkers. I think that's mother
  615. 26:55earth really being like hey I you know
  616. 26:58just because you think that you're safe
  617. 26:59from everybody doesn't mean you're safe
  618. 27:00from me. That's a whole different video.
  619. 27:02But right as that hurricane passed over
  620. 27:06the westernmost islands of uh Kauaii and
  621. 27:10Nihow over here that's when this
  622. 27:13eruption paused. So that's also showing
  623. 27:15how there's effect with perhaps effect.
  624. 27:18I mean, it's too much of a coincidence
  625. 27:20for me, especially when you evoke in the
  626. 27:23spirit of PLE and more. It's just
  627. 27:25personally, it's too much of a
  628. 27:27coincidence for me. You can make up your
  629. 27:28own mind. I'm just presenting the dates,
  630. 27:30the facts, the data, and also that bit
  631. 27:33of that open perspective. But the moment
  632. 27:35that passed over, the eruption paused,
  633. 27:37it's been paused since. Clearly, a big
  634. 27:39state change has occurred once again
  635. 27:41with the Hawaiian hotspot. And uh we're
  636. 27:44seeing that was also Crakatau erupted
  637. 27:46right before that occurred. Um and you
  638. 27:49know there's all this history of the
  639. 27:51migrations and the movements of people
  640. 27:53from the Pacific Pacific Islands and
  641. 27:56from Indonesia and uh and Tahiti and
  642. 27:59more to Hawaii and the other more
  643. 28:03eastern islands.
  644. 28:05So it's very very interesting. We can
  645. 28:07look at zoom actually see the path of
  646. 28:10that uh hurricane. We see new ones
  647. 28:13forming here. But let's go back to the
  648. 28:178th of and the 7th of September. And
  649. 28:21here is Hurricane Lao at a category
  650. 28:23three status. Okay. And here is the 8th
  651. 28:28of September. There still category three
  652. 28:31or category 2 now coming in hot. And we
  653. 28:34go forward is swept over Kawaii on the
  654. 28:39on the 9th or sorry on the uh the the
  655. 28:44morning of the 8th and then passed over
  656. 28:48on the 9th.
  657. 28:51It's now starting to move away and
  658. 28:53that's right when we started seeing a
  659. 28:55big change the volcanic system there.
  660. 28:56And there's old magma tubes and tunnels
  661. 28:59and everything connecting all the
  662. 29:00islands together because they were all
  663. 29:02connected to the hot spot. So now
  664. 29:04they're solidified and you know there's
  665. 29:06just not active magma flow through them
  666. 29:08but energetically they're all still
  667. 29:10connected together. So there's a lot of
  668. 29:12very interesting things uh occurring
  669. 29:15right now. But this this pattern of
  670. 29:19seeing these big earthquakes strike near
  671. 29:22these some of the world's deadliest
  672. 29:24volcanoes and already seeing Krakatau
  673. 29:26just explode violently is a little
  674. 29:29concerning to me. Now, in addition to
  675. 29:31that, we had this fireball that was uh
  676. 29:34that exploded over uh Indonesia here uh
  677. 29:38to the north. So, let's check out this
  678. 29:41video that was captured. No good video I
  679. 29:44could find yet of the fireball itself,
  680. 29:48unfortunately. So, I think you should
  681. 29:50take just a little grain of salt with
  682. 29:52this. There's nothing that I'm I'm not
  683. 29:54getting any intuition that this is fake
  684. 29:56or made up, but it was actually kind of
  685. 29:58difficult to like precisely verify this
  686. 30:00because the uh American Meteor Society,
  687. 30:03which often hosts these reports for
  688. 30:05people to submit their videos, they just
  689. 30:07had a uh web attack to their website.
  690. 30:10So, they're down right now for like the
  691. 30:13next couple weeks. And uh someone picked
  692. 30:15up the seismic waveforms for this on the
  693. 30:18real- time feed and they posted that,
  694. 30:20but I was unable to like get my eyes on
  695. 30:23that data myself. It was all these
  696. 30:26different seismic networks. It's very
  697. 30:28difficult to access the data actually.
  698. 30:30And they've they've actually just now
  699. 30:31implemented some changes with some of
  700. 30:33the biggest ones that make it harder for
  701. 30:34some reason. So, you know, it's not a
  702. 30:36conspiracy, but it's just it's odd. And
  703. 30:39so I can't fully confirm this for you,
  704. 30:41but we see this big flash from the
  705. 30:43fireball. And this is the local time
  706. 30:46right here. This was at uh was it 1618?
  707. 30:50Well, it looks like actually 1614
  708. 30:53uh universal time on the 11th. Now, if
  709. 30:55that time stamp is accurate, but in
  710. 30:57general, people saw this in between uh
  711. 31:00roughly 15 minutes to 20 minutes after
  712. 31:04midnight.
  713. 31:05And uh that exploded right over. So, you
  714. 31:08know, a bit of a cosmic messenger coming
  715. 31:10in. We get these every now and then, but
  716. 31:11for there to be a sonic boom, bright
  717. 31:13flash of light and everything, that's
  718. 31:15pretty rare. We had a big surge, as you
  719. 31:17may recall, back in uh February,
  720. 31:20February, March into April. Really,
  721. 31:22March was huge for these big explosive
  722. 31:25fireballs. Uh, and we really still don't
  723. 31:28have an explanation for that because the
  724. 31:29orbits that we calculated came in from
  725. 31:31all over the place. Now, one other thing
  726. 31:34to keep in mind is that we do have some
  727. 31:38space weather coming up which is
  728. 31:39indicative of there being some high
  729. 31:42magnitude earthquake activity and well,
  730. 31:44we've been seeing big activity in the
  731. 31:47western Pacific. So, that this could be
  732. 31:50uh the next trigger mechanism that's
  733. 31:53coming up here. We're looking at our
  734. 31:54sun, our 304 or sorry, our 193 anstrom
  735. 31:57view and we see these two coronal holes
  736. 32:00here on the sun. this area there being
  737. 32:03uh definitely larger but still connected
  738. 32:05into this smaller one over here. So I'm
  739. 32:07just calling them one hole but kind of
  740. 32:09two separate holes. This hole up here
  741. 32:12being the largest one. Uh we are going
  742. 32:14to be hit by this highspeed stream
  743. 32:16around the 14th and 15th of September
  744. 32:19and then we'll be embedded within it. Uh
  745. 32:21so we did see uh an earthquake response
  746. 32:26from the prior coronal hole highspeed
  747. 32:28stream and the S1 radiation storm and
  748. 32:31all that stuff that occurred just a few
  749. 32:33days ago. You know I talked about that
  750. 32:35uh the biggest earthquake was that 6.5.
  751. 32:39So we you know that's not a huge one but
  752. 32:41it was clearly a shift up in energy
  753. 32:44because we can see that right here. If
  754. 32:46we go back to our live data, we see our
  755. 32:48global seismic activity level and look
  756. 32:50at how we had this very clear
  757. 32:52significant shift right after uh those
  758. 32:55factors converge and also with the new
  759. 32:58moon because we had some other activity
  760. 33:00too that bumped up that day. So very
  761. 33:02clearly a significant shift shift since
  762. 33:05this global seismic burst came to a
  763. 33:07close. Um
  764. 33:10and now we have an even more significant
  765. 33:13coronal hole coming up. Last one was a
  766. 33:14little tiny guy. It really didn't do
  767. 33:15much. This one will be more significant.
  768. 33:17So, we're looking like uh there's going
  769. 33:20to be more active conditions. There's a
  770. 33:23higher probability of there being more
  771. 33:24active conditions. This is a forecast,
  772. 33:26right? I'm not uh Nostradamus and just
  773. 33:29putting down expect on the, you know,
  774. 33:3213th of November the world to end. Like
  775. 33:34that's not at all my jam what I do. It's
  776. 33:37really just about what are the factors
  777. 33:38and what can we forecast. It's just like
  778. 33:40you look at the radar for the weather
  779. 33:42and then you issue forecast for rain,
  780. 33:44right? You you you listen to the wise
  781. 33:47people a little bit and put your finger
  782. 33:48up. You incor you sprinkle that in as
  783. 33:50well. Um but this is another factor
  784. 33:53coming in and there's already been so
  785. 33:55much activity in the Western Pacific
  786. 33:57specifically for Indonesia and you're
  787. 34:00having the earthquakes, you're having
  788. 34:01the volcanic eruptions, you're having
  789. 34:03the meteors. I mean at some point it
  790. 34:05starts to get a little biblical. I mean,
  791. 34:07I'm not really uh I'm not really
  792. 34:10convinced by any means that like this is
  793. 34:12the end. That's not that's not my jam.
  794. 34:15Um but I do think that God works in
  795. 34:18mysterious ways. And I think he's a
  796. 34:19little bit of a joker. And I think that
  797. 34:21you are we are given these these warning
  798. 34:24signs by uh the sun, the earth, the
  799. 34:27cosmos, God to let us know like, hey,
  800. 34:30there's some stuff coming. If you can
  801. 34:31read the signs, then more power to you.
  802. 34:33That is the oldest science known to man
  803. 34:35is learning to read the signs of the
  804. 34:37stars and more. So we've lost a lot of
  805. 34:40that ancestral knowledge and wisdom uh
  806. 34:43that we you know cultivated over
  807. 34:45thousands of years with our shamans and
  808. 34:48mystical leaders and just wise elders
  809. 34:51who understood what the land was saying
  810. 34:53and how she was uh responding to
  811. 34:56everything that's happening globally. So
  812. 35:00a lot happening right now. Uh here's
  813. 35:02some more info on that uh that meteor
  814. 35:05that popped off. This was confirmed by
  815. 35:09the meteorology, climatology,
  816. 35:12and geohysics agency. Uh they picked it
  817. 35:16up with their seisographs over over uh
  818. 35:19goron talo in the early morning hours
  819. 35:23and did not come from activities like
  820. 35:25earthquakes or volcanoes. So, they
  821. 35:29picked up this vibration on their
  822. 35:31seismometers, and there's a bunch of
  823. 35:33CCTV footage of uh that flash of light,
  824. 35:37but there's no footage I could find of
  825. 35:39the actual meat fireball streaking
  826. 35:41through. So, that's why again, just a
  827. 35:42little grain of salt, but I feel pretty
  828. 35:44good about this. Uh, but I can't, you
  829. 35:46know, sit here and confirm it for you,
  830. 35:48unfortunately. I tried my best to spend
  831. 35:50a lot of time looking try to do that.
  832. 35:52Can't do it. Uh but there's just a lot
  833. 35:55happening right now in Indonesia as you
  834. 35:58can tell and uh we're going to continue
  835. 36:01to probably get more activity based off
  836. 36:04the pattern that we're seeing. U these
  837. 36:06sort of big earthquakes, the 7.8s or
  838. 36:09just in general high magnitude 7, you
  839. 36:11know, they can precipitate changes that
  840. 36:13take a few months to uh to occur. So
  841. 36:17just because this was on the 14th of
  842. 36:21April and now it's the 12th of
  843. 36:22September, that's less than a month. But
  844. 36:25these these pressure waves moving
  845. 36:28through the volcanic systems and the
  846. 36:29magma chambers that they have and the
  847. 36:31sills and the dikes that then triggers
  848. 36:34changes that take some time. So, it's
  849. 36:36not a the next day thing, though it can
  850. 36:38be, but often if you look at history,
  851. 36:41these big earthquakes that hit near big
  852. 36:45volcanoes that do spectacular eruption,
  853. 36:47sometimes it's two, three, four years
  854. 36:49before that volcano really goes nuts. Um
  855. 36:53so just the fact that we're seeing you
  856. 36:55know these aren't magnitude 8
  857. 36:57earthquakes or magnitude 9 earthquakes
  858. 36:59though we did have of course the
  859. 37:01magnitude 9.1 Simata 2004 you know in
  860. 37:05this area and then Japan 9.1 in 2011 so
  861. 37:08those have popped off recently uh in
  862. 37:11this theater. The last magnitude 9 were
  863. 37:14Alaska 64 and Chile in 1960. Right?
  864. 37:19that's not going to more directly
  865. 37:20implicate the Eastern Pacific than the
  866. 37:22ones happening right nearby.
  867. 37:26Uh but it doesn't have to be these like
  868. 37:28ultra mega quakes. It just needs to be a
  869. 37:30big earthquake near a big volcano
  870. 37:33because you know the energy dies off
  871. 37:36with distance and everything. So it's
  872. 37:38really about the scaling factor, the
  873. 37:40relative strength of it. And while this
  874. 37:427.8 striking so close to Tambora,
  875. 37:45[snorts] I mean let's zoom in on this
  876. 37:46guy. Check this guy out. I mean, this
  877. 37:48volcano here is mean. You do not want
  878. 37:51this erupting like it did uh 211
  879. 37:57years ago now, and it's it's certainly
  880. 38:01looking I mean, it could go at any it
  881. 38:03could go at any time. There's going to
  882. 38:04be warning signs, but basically what
  883. 38:08I've seen with my research and and and
  884. 38:10more and like Krakatoa took people by
  885. 38:12surprise, right? Uh it's just that
  886. 38:15sometimes it just boom boomshak kalaka.
  887. 38:17It just goes. And that's all she wrote.
  888. 38:21I mean, here, look at all these other
  889. 38:23volcanoes
  890. 38:25scattered around because of the
  891. 38:26subduction trench. And you have that 7.1
  892. 38:31here, 629 km down, right? That's guiding
  893. 38:34that boundary, the deep boundary between
  894. 38:36the plate and the mantle. So, you had
  895. 38:38that entire thing unlock. And now you're
  896. 38:42having these earthquakes along the
  897. 38:44trench itself. We're seeing big movement
  898. 38:46now with this plate here and as a result
  899. 38:50of that we could see follow-up big
  900. 38:52activity from Tambbora or from Krakata.
  901. 38:55We hope to God we don't see anything
  902. 38:57from Toba but we have to be mindful of
  903. 39:00this. This is really my take-home
  904. 39:01message. We need to be really mindful of
  905. 39:04this. So that is your video for today.
  906. 39:07I've been your host Burns. I'm going to
  907. 39:09check out what we've gotten via super
  908. 39:12thanks just to look at this really
  909. 39:13quick. Uh thank you to everyone here on
  910. 39:15the live stream. Hope you're all doing
  911. 39:16well. Char uh with a super thanks. Thank
  912. 39:19you for sincere. Thank you sincerely for
  913. 39:21everything you contribute to educating
  914. 39:23the general public about earth science
  915. 39:24and challenging the college educated
  916. 39:26community as well. Blessings and
  917. 39:28gratitude space bro been here since 19.
  918. 39:30Thank you so much. Uh I mean I haven't
  919. 39:32been doing this since 19 but uh thank
  920. 39:35you so much. And then Justice here with
  921. 39:38a $20 super sticker. That is awesome.
  922. 39:40and Gerald Dean big supporter with a
  923. 39:43nice super thanks. I wondered maybe have
  924. 39:45you looked to compare data on Iniki and
  925. 39:48Lael. Yesterday was 34 years since Eniki
  926. 39:51both just turned north. Thank you. Yeah.
  927. 39:53Uh Iniki went over Kauaii at a category
  928. 39:564 and Lau went over at a category 2. So
  929. 39:59Eniki was was worse, but Lao was also
  930. 40:02not good. Um, so yeah, it's been really
  931. 40:07rough for the Hawaiian Islands recently
  932. 40:11and uh I think that's likely to
  933. 40:13continue. Uh, it's certainly possible.
  934. 40:17We we we we hope not, but we're in this
  935. 40:20super El Nino and things are really
  936. 40:22getting quite serious. So, uh, I'll be
  937. 40:26back with more. I don't know when Kiloa
  938. 40:28is going to erupt. It could be any time
  939. 40:30now. So if I catch that, I will live
  940. 40:32stream it for you all. Uh do some more
  941. 40:34commentary on what's happening there
  942. 40:36because we're seeing big changes once
  943. 40:38again with Kiloa now that Lao passed
  944. 40:41over seemed to have triggered a
  945. 40:42significant shift with the volcano all
  946. 40:45the way to the east at the big island.
  947. 40:47That or just coincidence that in this
  948. 40:49earthquake just right after this
  949. 40:51gigantic eruption from Krakatau is
  950. 40:53coincidence. You know, there's just too
  951. 40:55many coincidences. Add in the meteor
  952. 40:58fireball explosion. There's just too
  953. 40:59many coincidences to chalk it up. I
  954. 41:02personally believe in the fact that
  955. 41:03there are some larger plans at play and
  956. 41:06just also all the systems are
  957. 41:08interconnected, right? It doesn't have
  958. 41:10to be uh some crazy conspiracy or
  959. 41:12anything. It's just everything's
  960. 41:14connected in ways that we still barely
  961. 41:16understand. There's so much that we
  962. 41:17don't understand and we don't even know
  963. 41:18we don't know. So, in 200 years time,
  964. 41:21we're going to be looking back and be
  965. 41:22like, "Oh, yeah, of course." you know
  966. 41:25this deep mantle convection of course
  967. 41:27influences this and that and whatever.
  968. 41:29So uh we're very new to all this. Our
  969. 41:32data feeds and our data sets are very
  970. 41:34very short. Like our high resolution
  971. 41:37earthquake data is only I don't know not
  972. 41:40even like 50 years maybe. Uh we have
  973. 41:43data going further back but we missed a
  974. 41:44lot of data in the oceans and lesser
  975. 41:46magnitude quakes like magnitude 5. So
  976. 41:49there's just our solar our solar data
  977. 41:51especially the high resolution stuff now
  978. 41:53like with modern space telescopes is
  979. 41:55super limited only maybe two three
  980. 41:57decades if that more like three three
  981. 41:59four decades so we're just at the
  982. 42:01beginning of putting these pieces
  983. 42:03together that is my job that is my
  984. 42:05mission if you like the sound of that
  985. 42:06then please subscribe smash that thumbs
  986. 42:07up button help the channel grow I
  987. 42:09release videos almost daily now that I'm
  988. 42:11back from my vacation I'll be releasing
  989. 42:13more videos though I will be leaving
  990. 42:15again probably about two weeks uh but
  991. 42:18I'll be active also when I'm on that
  992. 42:20trip. So, thank you all so much. Wishing
  993. 42:22each and every single one of you well.
  994. 42:24Prayers for everyone that's been
  995. 42:26affected by these natural disasters
  996. 42:27recently. It has been a crazy summer uh
  997. 42:30with big earthquake activity, big
  998. 42:32hurricanes in Pacific. It's for a lot of
  999. 42:35people, it's been a big wakeup call. So,
  1000. 42:38if you haven't had a big shakeup as a
  1001. 42:41result yet, don't cons don't just think
  1002. 42:44that it's not going to happen to you. Uh
  1003. 42:46it's just better to be prepared. So
  1004. 42:48that's my closing out message. Be
  1005. 42:50prepared. Uh be aware of what's
  1006. 42:52happening. You know, track this to some
  1007. 42:55degree. You don't need to get lost in
  1008. 42:57the sauce, but just be aware of what's
  1009. 42:58happening on our actual planet rather
  1010. 43:00than all the fake news stuff that's
  1011. 43:01occurring um that they're trying to
  1012. 43:04brainwash you with. At least that's what
  1013. 43:06I think. It none of it's good uh in
  1014. 43:08general. This is what's actually
  1015. 43:10happening though. So, thank you all so
  1016. 43:12much. Have a great day. I'll see you all
  1017. 43:13in the next video.
