Jon Hassell - "Earthquake Island" From the album Earthquake Island (1978)

Last song scrobbled from iTunes at Last.fm

Hassell's second album, and the one just preceding his breakthrough with Brian Eno on Possible Musics

According to the app Earthquake (Σεισμός in its Greek language version) with international coverage (if you live in a seismic country download it right now), as I am writing this at 16:00 there have been 220 earthquakes since midnight, occurring around Santorini and the South Cyclades islands, across the Aegean arc (also known as Hellenic arc). While many scientists say the cause is tectonic and not volcanic, some scientists from Greece and abroad support they are indeed volcanic warnings.

It’s not good news either way…

The earthquakes seem to slowly increase in magnitude with the biggest one at 5.0 R two hours ago. There have been small landfalls reported in Santorini, an island with hilltop built towns.

The last explosion of the Thira (Santorini) volcano occurred in 1950.

The local population is evacuating the island with ships and airplanes just to be sure.

Christmas With Madam Pele

Aloha kākou. It’s going to be a very special Christmas with Madam Pele coming to pay a visit. Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park (HVNP) reported that Kīlauea erupted early this morning. The eruption started at 2:30AM in Halema’uma’u Crater. There was an increase in earthquake activity beneath the Kilauea summit starting at about 2AM. We did not feel any tremors at that time. “A video camera captures…

As someone who has lived in the south where the water trough is anywhere from mildly annoying to actively terrifying, who has lived on a fairly decently sized island where it is indeed absolutely terrifying to be cut off from the mainland suddenly with little to no help from the government for an extended period of time--

After No Man's Land and all the issues that arose then, I'd like to propose the new way of interring their dead would be mausoleums. Possibly especially with Gotham canonically existing on a system of caves. An island made of caves on the East Coast that gets battered by hurricanes almost every year is just asking to get sunk a la Atlantis but its fucking Gotham and i think the Gothamites would raise it from the sea floor again out of sheer spite.

But with mausoleums you:

Dont have your son crawling six feet through packed dirt after inexplicably coming back to life

Dont have long buried coffins and corpses getting flooded/shaken/otherwise disturbed and shunted into the water system/streets/underground reservoirs (or Lazarus Pits, since there's one of those down there too, as if Gotham didn't have enough things wrong with it)

Continues the Gotham aesthetic

Have more places for various characters to have a private mental breakdown in

Have more places for various characters to find ominous warnings etched or graffiti'd on the walls

Have more places for things much older than the mausoleums have been En Vogue��� for to inexplicably appear and send shivers down the spine

The Gothamites are very firm about not really being part of the US. The US kind of looks at the South like we're really fucking strange, and the South looks at New Orleans like they've taken the South and concentrated it, carbonated it, and shook it really hard.

I want the same vibes for Gotham. This is their home. They are weird and stubborn to a fault and everything is on fire and the government is corrupt and the people aren't always good but nobody else understands. No one else ever could. Who else has seen the lights for rescue appear on the horizon only to see the light of death on the waters, ensuring no help would ever come? They are resourceful and violent and resentful but the gods won't help you if you cross one of their own.

There comes a point when you are doing too much research for fanfic, and that point is probably way before you’re looking up the interactions between the Cocos and Nazcas plates in order to decide where you would put a fictional island if you want it off the coast of Colombia.

it felt like just a sort of wiggling, and sounded like a few heavy shoes in a washing machine. i think we're pretty far from the epicenter but wow.

A MAGNITUDE 7.6 earthquake struck near the Cayman Islands. It was initially a magnitude 8.0, but has been downgraded. There were tsunami warnings going around, but it is not likely since there was no vertical displacement involved.

UPDATE:

It’s 5 am, Greece time. (Yes I am a bat)

Since midnight, so in the last five hours the earthquake swarm has given a new 5 R, five 4+ R ones and thirty four of a 3+ R magnitude.

That’s just for reference. The main reason I am writing this is to remind that we say the Santorini earthquake swarm blah blah blah with coverage from Santorini, however a lot of these earthquakes have epicenters closer to the island of Amorgos and a few are close to Anafi and Ios.

All the coverage and most measures and interest are for Santorini but the people of these other islands - especially Amorgos, a gorgeous island with very significant monuments - have it just as bad and nobody bothers with them.

I read a rare article about how they are dealing with it, hence this post.

All in all, there are five Greek Red Cross rescuers and two social workers in the island to offer psychological support to the locals.

People have been staying wide awake for several nights due to the tremors and the anxiety. They said their biggest fear is that the big earthquake will catch them in their sleep. The farmers are reporting changes in the behaviour of the animals.

I thought it should be said. There are a lot of places which are vulnerable to what is happening.
