Changed Alert Level at Kick 'em Jenny Submarine Volcano
Jul.23.2015

On Thursday, July 23rd from 1:25am to 3:00am local time, a strong continuous signal was observed on instruments monitoring the Kick ‘em Jenny submarine volcano. Signs of elevated seismicity (earthquakes) began on 11th July and continue to present. For the period since the 11th July a total of more than 200 micro and small earthquakes, of varying magnitudes, have been recorded, with the largest, prior to the strong signal, less than magnitude 3.0. There have also been observations from divers of degassing occurring off the west coast of Grenada in the Moliniere Sculpture Park area. This activity is being closely monitored by The UWI-SRC and further updates would be issued as more information becomes available.

Dr. Rowley is vulcanologist, he knew about this and chose to withhold it from T&T and the rest of the Caribbean.

He is not prime ministerial material.

How could this affect Trinidad?

Dude this is more than kind of serious, what is the current status??? Any first hand reports from Grenada itself?

[Habit7]

How could this affect Trinidad?

Not really. It is to the north of Grenada.

A Major eruption could more than affect trinidad son.

Reporters claim Trinidad is "relatively safe" if something should occur

They are going by the likelihood that if it erupts, it won't be the 'big' one since that one is quite rare given it's past history (and then the change of eruption at all has to be considered too).

But......you never know, I hope they're using the stats correct as it can easily be misinterpreted. For instance, if a the ratio of serious to mild eruptions is 5%, but given that 19 of it's past eruptions were mild....then according to that bayesian prior....the actually probability could be much higher.

This is all speculation and I don't have any real statistics to base this one....not trying to be alarmist, just trying to add some info.
