Large Volcano in Italy Could Erupt at Any Moment

 I would agree that most of us give little thought to events that could disrupt the world, and our lives, literally overnight.  For followers of Jesus we don’t worry about such things because we know no matter how bad, strange or difficult our lives become, it’s all only temporary.  And the older we get the more we understand how brief this life really is.  We know that in a short time we will be wearing our new bodies and soon after will give hardly any thought to this current existence which includes death, thieves, perverts, liars, sickness, hunger, war, rape, murder and financial collapse.

But articles like this should make us realize that our entire existence just hangs by a thread that we have zero control over.  We pray that these calamitous events won’t happen until after we are gone.

The article below starts off with reports of the Yellowstone super volcano, whose eruption would destroy America, and then shifts to this volcano getting set to blow in Italy.

But when it comes to “the most dangerous supervolcano in Europe”, it is a much different story.

According to the Daily Galaxy, there has been “a surge in seismic activity” at the Campi Flegrei supervolcano during the past year…

In the shadow of Mount Vesuvius, a much larger and potentially catastrophic threat looms beneath the ground—Campi Flegrei, the most dangerous supervolcano in Europe. Over the past year, a surge in seismic activity has sent shockwaves—literally and figuratively—through the region, fueling fears of an impending eruption. With over two million people living in the potential blast zone, the question is no longer if this sleeping giant will wake up, but when.

The Campi Flegrei supervolcano covers an area of 77 square miles, and one expert is publicly warning that it could potentially “erupt at any moment”…

An Italian expert warns of a possible supervolcano eruption in Naples. Are we prepared for such a disaster?

The Naples region in Italy regularly experiences earthquakes. Beneath the surface of the land and sea lies a massive supervolcano covering an area of 77 square miles. Giuseppe Mastrolorenzo, a volcanologist from the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), warns that the volcano could erupt at any moment, without warning.

Why isn’t this getting more attention?

Mastrolorenzo says that a full-blown eruption of the supervolcano could possibly release ten times as much energy as the eruption that destroyed Pompeii in 79 AD…

He added that recent earthquakes, including a 4.4 magnitude one last week, might be harbingers of an eruption. The evacuation plan involves moving half a million people within 72 hours, which Mastrolorenzo considers a “very optimistic hypothesis.”

If an eruption were to occur, the disaster for the region would be enormous. The energy released during the eruption could be ten times greater than what destroyed Pompeii in 79 A.D. The volcano has been emitting more and more carbon dioxide for years, recently 5,500 tons per day. The emission of hydrogen sulfide, among others, in the Solfatara crater, has increased fivefold. “The supereruption is long overdue,” concluded Mastrolorenzo.
