(The Economic Collapse Blog)—Three very dangerous hurricanes are churning in the eastern Pacific Ocean and Anak Krakatau has violently erupted. The cataclysmic 1883 eruption of the original Krakatau volcano was one of the loudest and most powerful volcanic eruptions ever recorded, and it significantly reduced global temperatures for an extended period of time. So when Anak Krakatau starts to cause chaos, everyone should be paying attention. Of course here in the United States people are much more concerned about the three enormous hurricanes that are looming dangerously close to U.S. territory.
On Monday morning, Accuweather was telling us that Hurricane Lowell would “come within 100 miles of the western islands of Hawaii”…
Following a path similar to Hurricane Iniki from September 1992, Lowell is forecast by AccuWeather meteorologists to make a right turn and come within 100 miles of the western islands of Hawaii.
As of Monday morning HST, Hurricane Lowell was a Category 3 hurricane moving northeast at 14 mph and was located about 405 miles southwest of Honolulu.
Hawaii Gov. Josh Green declared a state of emergency last Thursday due to the impending impacts for the islands.
That would have been bad enough.
But now CNN is reporting that the forecast has changed and now Hurricane Lowell is expected to “pass about 75 miles west of the more populous Kauai as a Category 2 storm Monday night through Tuesday morning”…
Lowell is a Category 3 hurricane as of early Monday morning, local time, with winds of 115 mph, traveling north-northeast at 14 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center.
Its outer rainbands were hitting as far east as Oahu — where a tropical storm watch is in effect — but all of the islands will be soaked as the storm approaches throughout the day.
And it’s expected to get closer than previously thought. The hurricane’s forecast track has shifted about 75 miles east and closer to Kauai and Niihau since Sunday morning. Lowell’s center is now forecast to make its closest pass about 75 miles west of the more populous Kauai as a Category 2 storm Monday night through Tuesday morning.
Residents of Hawaii certainly don’t want to hear that Lowell will “get closer than previously thought”.
So what if Lowell keeps drifting in that direction and ends up making a direct hit on the Hawaiian islands?
That could be catastrophic.
At this moment, panic buying has erupted on Kauai as Hurricane Lowell approaches.
At Home Depot, supplies of plywood and propane are rapidly disappearing…
Shoppers on Kauai have rushed to stock up, leaving empty shelves, dwindling supplies of plywood and no propane at one Home Depot, while long lines formed at Costco and gas pumps.
Greg, an Oahu resident who is visiting his family on Kauai, told local KITV: ‘I think it looks like everybody gathered those items already. Everybody is out. Just making sure that all those items are gathered and whatnot.’
This sort of thing always seems to happen whenever a major disaster is looming.
One local resident said that Costco “was just flooded with people”…
Kiare Reis-Torres, a Kauai resident, told KITV: ‘I’ve never experienced this, but I know that when I went to Big Save yesterday, most of the shelves were empty.
‘And then I saw that Costco was just flooded with people. Everybody’s just trying to grab their supplies.’
Meanwhile, another extremely large hurricane has been sending monster waves into the Southern California coastline…
Hurricane Marie is impacting the Southern California coastline with powerful swells and dangerous rip currents triggering flooding, water rescues, and a frantic effort to keep ocean water away from homes.
The storm, churning in the eastern Pacific off the coast of Baja California, is not expected to make landfall in the Golden State — but it is already hitting beaches spanning Los Angeles County to Orange County.
At Seal Beach on Saturday, ocean water surged into parking lots near the pier, flooding low-lying areas and trapping vehicles.
This wasn’t supposed to happen.
But it is.
In Long Beach, gigantic waves caused by Hurricane Marie have transformed “scenic waterfront streets into treacherous, waterlogged disaster zones”…
Among the hardest-hit areas is the low-lying city of Long Beach, where massive ocean surges have turned scenic waterfront streets into treacherous, waterlogged disaster zones.
Dramatic videos circulating online show towering waves crashing directly over concrete barricades and swamping public beach paths. Waters breached low-lying properties on the Peninsula, inundating coastal homes and parking lots.
The footage of these waves that is being shared on social media is absolutely shocking.
Authorities rushed to build an emergency sand berm, but it was no match for the colossal waves that kept relentlessly rushing in…
In anticipation of the high surf, municipal crews worked tirelessly with heavy machinery to construct a massive emergency sand berm along the shoreline. However, the relentless force of the tide quickly overtopped and breached the barrier, allowing saltwater to pour into residential neighborhoods.
Describing the frightening scene, local Peninsula residents expressed helplessness as ocean water rushed toward their doorsteps.
“The water just kept coming over the top of the berm,” noted one long-time resident watching municipal pumps work furiously to clear the street. “No matter how high they built it, the ocean was just too big.”
Hurricane Marie is not anywhere close to shore, but it is still inflicting quite a bit of pain.
In fact, the Metrolink Pacific Surfliner railroad in San Clemente had to be shut down for repairs because swells from Hurricane Marie had caused so much damage.
Monster swells from Hurricane Marie forced emergency repairs on Southern California’s scenic railroad route on Sunday.
A portion of the Metrolink Pacific Surfliner railroad in San Clemente is undergoing repairs, forcing service suspensions across parts of Orange County through Labor Day Monday.
A third major storm, Hurricane Karina, is not currently expected to be a serious threat but meteorologists continue to monitor it.
On the other side of the world, a massive eruption of Anak Krakatau that lasted for 25 hours forced the cancellation of hundreds of flights at Jakarta’s main international airport…
Ash from the eruption of Indonesia’s Mount Anak Krakatau wreaked havoc for aviation around the region over the weekend.
The volcanic eruption disrupted hundreds of flights at Jakarta’s main international airport, the second-busiest in Southeast Asia, with cancellations extending into Monday.
The volcano began a period of continuous eruption at 11:07 p.m. local time on Friday, according to a CNBC translation of a press release from Indonesia’s Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources. The continuous eruption lasted about 25 hours before ending at 12:04 a.m. on Sunday.
This was a very large eruption of a very dangerous volcano.
As of a few hours ago, a total of seven airports in Indonesia were still closed…
Seven Indonesian airports – including two serving Jakarta – remained closed on Monday morning because of volcanic ash from eruptions at Mount Anak Krakatau, the transport minister said.
Ash from Anak Krakatau, which sits halfway between Java and Sumatra islands, has blanketed Jakarta and several surrounding areas since it erupted late on Friday, leading to the closure of the airports for safety reasons.
The transport ministry said 170,000 people have been affected by flight cancellations.
Unfortunately, Anak Krakatau is not the only volcano in Indonesia that is rumbling right now.
At this stage, there are six different volcanoes in the country that are “at the second-highest alert status”…
Six active volcanoes in Indonesia are currently at the second-highest alert status, including Mount Anak Krakatau, Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki in East Nusa Tenggara, Mount Merapi in Yogyakarta, Mount Semeru in East Java, Mount Sinabung in North Sumatra and Lewotolok Volcano in East Nusa Tenggara.
Over the past several months, we have witnessed so much unusual seismic activity all over the globe.
Personally, I am convinced that this is just the beginning.
On top of everything else, an asteroid that was only discovered about 7 hours in advance just hit our planet…
Asteroid 2026 RW1 struck Earth over the Indian Ocean northwest of Australia on September 6, just over 7 hours after it was discovered, becoming the 13th known asteroid detected before hitting Earth. This event added another real-world test of planetary defense systems designed to identify small incoming objects, rapidly refine their trajectories, and determine where and when they will enter the atmosphere.
ESA tracked the asteroid under the temporary identifier CERNQ52 using its Meerkat system and estimated its diameter at only 0.6–1.3 m (2–4.3 feet). Objects of this size are difficult to detect far in advance because they are intrinsically faint, often becoming observable only when they are already relatively close to Earth.
In many other instances, astronomers only spotted a large space rock once it had already flown past us.
We are far more vulnerable than most people realize.
Despite all of our advanced technology, we are very much at the mercy of the natural world.
Unfortunately for all of us, the natural world continues to become even more unstable all around us.
