SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Oct 19 (EUROPA PRESS) –

During the night, the 24-hour monitoring volcanic surveillance network of the National Geographic Institute (IGN) has located a total of eight earthquakes associated with the eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano, one of them with a magnitude greater than 3 (mbLg).

Specifically, the maximum magnitude recorded was 3.9 (mbLg) corresponding to the earthquake located north of the municipality of Fuencaliente at 02.29 hours. With intensity III EMS and a depth of 37 km, it was felt in Breña Alta, Santa Cruz de La Palma, Los Llanos, El Paso, Garafía, Puntagorda and Tazacorte.

Yesterday 90 earthquakes were located, the largest of 4.3 mbLg, located southwest of the municipality of Villa de Mazo at 12:33 pm. With intensity III-IV EMS and a depth of 37 km, this tremor was felt in almost the entire island of La Palma.

The eruption continues and the main flow of the lava flows runs along the northern flank, down the northern part of the previous flows, following trajectories to the west and northwest, and within the current exclusion zone.

The wash that could reach the sea again, located southwest of the La Laguna mountain, is located about 160 meters from the coast, although it has slowed its progress to 2 meters per hour.

The affected area, after a month of lava emission, reaches 763 ha. According to the European Copernicus service, 1956 buildings have been destroyed.

La Palma Airport is operational, although there are delays in inter-island flights due to the volcanic ash cloud. The height of the ash and gas column reaches 4,200 meters. The Tenerife North Airport is operational, although yesterday with cancellations and diversion of flights.

Given the unfavorable weather conditions for air quality due to the intrusion of haze and wind from the sea, the direction of Pevolca recommends, at least until today, that, between 2:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m., the population of El Paso remains, as long as it is possible, indoors.

The classroom activity was resumed in the educational centers of Los Llanos de Aridane, El Paso and Tazacorte. However, for today, and given the possibility that the lava reaches the coast of Tazacorte, face-to-face activity has been suspended in the 2 educational centers in that area
