The El Hierro Volcano located near the Canary Islands showed signs of volcanic activity increasing. Recent surveys indicates that no eruption shows possible at present, but that a yellow alert may prove that increase of activity growing. In addition, there was a 5.1 earthquake today around 12:46 their local time which caused some shaking and trembling along the Canary Islands. This incredible increase of quakes has been recorded as significant data shows that at least 550 earthquake tremors have developed in a three day period between Monday and Wednesday. Scientists say the increase of quakes are due to a underground magna of rocks which has swelled in the past three weeks. Sources noted however, that today's quake was felt more intense on the opposite side of the islands. Both earthquakes and volcanic activity has islanders a bit shaken up.
That's a real shake up.
