Today,  October 21, 2011 — at approx 8-11AM Japanese time — the entire base of the volcano , around the full circumference of the mountain , began to give off steam .

Screenshots are below.. first unedited.. then with boxes indicating the areas that produced steam…

Recently, this past week, the Japanese main stream media issued an alert to the area around Sakurajima .. for the threat of a possible large scale eruption, with damaging ash clouds / ejection of material.

Here is the link to that report (requires google translate):

This new area of steam coming from the ground  in a “circular” shape.. almost like we’re seeing a possible place where IF a large eruption occurs, the “explosion” might remove all  the terrain ABOVE the line of “clouds”…

In otherwords.. the line of clouds would be a sign of the fracture due to pressure from underneath — in the magma chamber which is swelling (verified swelling according to the Japanese MSM report).   This could result in an explosive eruption along the lines of a smaller Mt. Saint Helens .. blowing the flank or top of the volcano from the line of steam we see now up to the top.

It is certainly something to keep an eye on.

“Anytime you take fluid or add fluid to the earth in this particular area it seems as if it leads to earthquakes,” said Long.”

SAN ANTONIO – There is speculation that fracking being done by the oil companies in the area could have contributed, if not caused, Thursday’s 4.8 magnitude earthquake that struck 76 miles south-southeast of San Antonio.

Local geologist John Long was at work on the eleventh floor of the Frost Bank Building along Northeast Loop 410. He actually felt the earthquake from his office. Within minutes he had a good idea of what caused the earth to shake.

Long works for Osborn Heirs, a local compnay that specializes in oil and gas exploration and development.

“I usually get here early. At about 7:24 I noticed that the blinds, we have metal blinds here, they started shaking and rattling — and I did feel a slight sway in the room,” recalled Long.

The earthquake only lasted a few seconds.

“I looked on the map and it turns out it’s right in the middle of an existing oil field, Fashing Field, which has had earthquakes over the last 40 or 50 years,” explained Long.

According to Long, the oil field has been around since the mid 1950’s. A lot of drilling has gone on since then, and coincidentally, there have been a handful of earthquakes over the years.

“Starting in 1973 it had an earthquake that registered at a 3.0, and then in 1984 it had an earthquake that registered about 3.5 or so,” said Long.

In Long’s expert opinion, it’s very possible the earthquake is a result of the disposal of fracking fluids.

“I know the previous earthquakes were tied almost without a doubt with drawing fluids out of the ground, and I’m not sure how much fluid is being withdrawn from that field right now, but they are injecting fluid into the ground with these frack jobs,” added Long.

All this is being done over a fault that has mostly been inactive, but with the recent boom of fracking in the area Long says it appears the fault was forced to awaken and caused a shake up.

“Anytime you take fluid or add fluid to the earth in this particular area it seems as if it leads to earthquakes,” said Long.”
