I beg everyone to please NOT take the statements made in this video out of context, like what occurred during my first upload on the Fentale adjacent magma dike in late Sep-early Oct 2024. I am NOT saying that a major volcanic eruption or even a true eruption is even close to certain or likely, just that one is definitely plausible. However, a volcanic eruption NOT occurring is the MOST likely outcome, but even if an eruption does not occur, the continued spam of M4s, M5s, and possibly just now a low end M6 is sufficient to warrant an evacuation due to non earthquake resistant structures that people live in. I do NOT want to cause unnecessary panic, so I outlined my thought process in this video. All I want to do is potentially safe lives, and by uploading this video, it gets it off my conscience. I know full well that an eruption probably won't end up occurring, but I have an outreach capability that HAS made a difference in the past. I do care, and want people to take appropriate actions for what could become a tragedy. I am NOT trying to clickbait, or fear monger. This is why today's video is the first of more than 1,000 uploads to state "evacuate now!".

@@sigisoltau6073 yes it is. It a language issue not a message issue, if you use alarmist language and nothing happens people are less likely to listen in the future. Evacuate now generally is used for an imminent threat that will almost certainly affect you. In this case (In my opinion - I am a engineering geologist who specialises in geological hazards) there is the potential for destructive quakes with a possible volcanic eruption - a risk that should be taken seriously yes. However, look at the response to the St Helens eruption people were beginning to doubt the warnings because they had not seen a big eruption yet. At this point is an inform people and make sure they are ready to go if something happens - this is an area where people may not be able to evacuate now just in case. Therefore information around ways to be safe during an earthquake! Items to take during an evacuation (damp cloth to avoid breathing in potential ash emissions ) and potential places to head towards if something happens would be more useful.

Everyone was asleep, and when it struck, it woke me up. The building was shaking. When I woke my family, it eventually stopped. It was very scary. Alhamdulillah.

As some of my family and relatives live in Metahara, a small town located less than 10 miles south of Fentale volcano, naturally I'm worried about the continuous tremors that have been occurring in what seems to be daily since late Dec till now. I myself am vacationing in a city almost 60 miles away and even we're able to feel the ground shaking on one or two occasions.

I have worked in the area for the last 40 years as a volcanologist for geothermal energy exploration. Fantale has two types of volcanic eruptions. The first is Strombolian or Hawaiian type, that has occured until a hundred years ago. This is less dangerous for the people. The second is explovive Plinean type that has given to big deposits of ignimbtite covering very large areas, including the town of Methara, the main road to the port and railroad. This is really dangerous! Most of the indications that I saw on youtube show that the magma is approaching the surface to erupt. Steam, mud etc. eruptions are results of the super heating of the aquifers underneath. In short, the volcanologist who are in Addis may be able to distinguish the type of eruption based on the infications and suggest evacuation or other actions to take, soon. If Dofan volcano is going to erupt or get activated, then i can see another danger, that is H2S (highly yoxic) gas production, since the volcano has a big sulphur deposit.

Yes it is part of the great rift but it should be noted that like not all magmatic intrusions lead to volcanic eruptions not all rift complexes will continue to develop into an ocean basin. I guess it probably will but yeah the amount of unknowns here with what we do know paints a worrying picture. After all just the Earthquakes and hydrothermal explosion threats should be enough to trigger evacuations in that immediate area yet alone if we have an actual eruption from a bimodal volcanic complex like typically seen in continental rift zone settings.

There is what's called the 'Emergency Call Paradox', or the '911 Paradox'. It's described as believing that someone else has already called for help when no one has. This leads to emergency services not being alerted to the emergency and not being able to save lives or property. This paradox birthed the adage 'Better to call for help and be another of thousands than not call and be one of the thousands.'. Similar to 'Rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.' Fortune favors the prepared.

From the U.S.G.S shake map it shows all earthquakes in the last 7 day as all being 10km depth. I could be wrong but this could represent a magma chamber pushing and straining other magma dikes and pushing magma into the 1 we know. Which would mean the magma chamber is quite large and since this volcano is a relative unknown, it may definitely be appropriate to assume the worst as you did. As much strain as this activity is causing on the shake map, I would guess but not assume the magma chamber or magma source is either slightly larger, or slightly smaller than the circumference of what the quake activity represents. It also could mean that the other magma dikes could reactivate or are in the beginning stages of reactivating, (possibly best or worst case I don't know?) or it could be in the stages of dike combination where they define a new magma chamber as a whole. So many unknowns with this one.

The government *seriously* needs to get more sensors on that volcano. And regardless of the eruption threat, those quakes are a very clear, proven, present, and *worsening* danger; if mid and upper 5s are already dealing out ample damage, people need to get clear BEFORE they start getting the 6s or higher. I've been through a high 6 in an area that has pretty good structural codes precisely because of the quake threat and that was nightmare enough. I don't want to imagine how much worse that experience would be in an area where the buildings mostly AREN'T built to that level. 😨

AFAIK the government is not in full control of those areas: the Tigray war was succeeded by the Amhara armed uprising and these live all around Addis Abeba, incl. the volcanic risk region, and are in control of many of the rural areas.

@@LuisAldamiz And even if they were, there's an unfortunate trend in desperately poor areas of stealing and scrapping seismometers. IIRC this is a very big issue with monitoring Nyiragongo and I imagine it could be here too. The government just doesn't have the resources and the people are desperate.

Frankly, most Ethiopians have many more pressing concerns than the possible, near-term eruption of a volcano. These brave people have lived with the volcanoes for centuries and still make the decision to live among them because their options are few or alternatives too extreme. Don't be too hard on them. The Neapolitans have all the money, technology, and communication that anyone would ever need and still choose to remain among the volcanoes.

in the circumstances i feel you giving a strong heads up is well justified. better some perhaps inconvenient action now than potentially deadly consequences later! and kudos for the B5 reference quoting ambassador Delenn the sadly missed Mira Furlan

With the current Amhara insurgency, which AFAIK controls much of the rural areas around Addis Abeba, it will be even more complicated than in a peace scenario.

To anyone who would dismiss present/future warnings because nothing came of past warnings, keep in mind: It is often the proper heeding of warnings and taking of precautions that causes nothing to come of those warnings. A preventable disaster is often obviously preventable in hindsight, but a prevented disaster is often invisible in hindsight and a disaster that was prevented and one that would have never happened are often indistinguishable.

The real disaster is not the quake itself but the lack of preparedness starting with weak construction and bad planning. If we can end war and fiat economics we can focus better, begin making better decisions and put ourselves above all of this. Thank you for your honest assessments. We need more of this kind public thinking across the whole human race!
