Those who’ve managed to keep track of the days can see that the calendar reads April 1. The ominous rumble and subsequent shaking of the earth, beginning several hours before sunrise, is no joke however. Lasting nearly a minute, the intense earthquake rattles more than nerves--poorly built structures collapse in ruins. As villagers rush outside, they’re greeted by a frightening site. Orange-red magma is being thrown into the air from the ocean. The island itself is in no danger from the volcano; the lava is spewing away from the coastline. The earth continues to shake throughout the subsequent weeks, and the magma continues to flow. Within days, a new island has begun to emerge from the sea around the underwater volcano on the invisible boundary beyond which no one can pass. Each day, the new island grows by several inches.
Notes: -The volcanic and seismic activity continues throughout the month, gradually decreasing, though it won’t stop completely for approximately 6 weeks, by which time the new island will rise approximately nine feet (2.7 meters) above sea level, and have a diameter of approximately 16 feet (4.9 meters) -The initial earthquake would be measured at approximately 5.5 and very shallow, less than 5 km (3.1 miles) deep, making it feel more intense. This will be the strongest earthquake associated with this event. -There is no tsunami from this event. -The new island is uninhabitable, and there is nothing to explore, as it is quite simply hardened lava rock jutting up from the sea. -if you have any questions or need any sort of clarification, please contact the mod (khurban72 or triangle_mod on AIM) or post your question here in the comments.
