Cumbre Vieja volcano eruption, La Palma: increasing tremor, lava flows destroy town of Todoque

The eruption continues with lava fountains from the new vent that opened last night and continuing lava flow emission. During the past hours, volcanic tremor has increased significantly, suggesting that output rate has increased or something else is changing. It will probably become clearer in the next hours what is happening.
During the past 24 hours, activity has been relatively stable. The advance of the fronts have slowed down and they remained at approx. 1 km from the shore, due to the fact that the flow fronts are now in less steep terrain, which causes them to widen significantly as well rather than progress. However, they are now slowly advancing through the town of Todoque, destroying it.
The 1,200 residents from Todoque had no choice than to gather as much of their belongings and now can only watch as houses, streets, gardens are covered meter by meter by the advancing lava flows.

There are concerns that the eruption is still far from stable and yet more vents, possibly further north could open up. Inflation has been continuing and reached 30 cm in places, sign that magma is still pressurizing and accumulating underground. This is is also shown by continuing earthquake activity. Although much weaker than before the eruption, it remains significant. During the past 24 hours, there were 3 quakes of magnitudes 3.0-3.8 and 12 quakes between 2.0 and 2.9.
Another concern is the development of acid steam clouds should the lava flows enter the sea, and cause violent water-lava explosions that generate hot steam plumes mixed with hydrochloric acid (HCl) and other dangerous gasses that can be harmful to people, animals and plants.
