This article was posted 30th March 2010 so “as soon as tomorrow” has passed unless you want to make it tomorrow, tomorrow 26/05/2010?? …..up to you =)
The Marsili volcano, which is bursting with magma, has “fragile walls” that could collapse, Enzo Boschi told the leading daily Corriere della Sera.
“It could even happen tomorrow,” Prof Boschi, president of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology said ”Our latest research shows that the volcano is not structurally solid, its walls are fragile, the magma chamber is of sizeable dimensions,” he said. ”All that tells us that the volcano is active and could begin erupting at any time.” The event would result in “a strong tsunami that could strike the coasts of Campania, Calabria and Sicily,” Prof Boschi said.
I thought i would post this article up due to all the activity of Eyjafjallajökull and now Costa Rica’s Arenal volcano has erupted today 25/05/2010. Then take into consideration that that we are only in the 5th month of the year and we have already had 7 major Earthquakes (7.0 and greater) which currently is 1.4 - 7.0+ earthquakes per month.

There is a lot of underground activity this year and it has increased over the past few years, given the fragile nature of this volcano a small earthquake could set it off and southern Italy would be in a lot of trouble.
I think the next few years will be a wild ride… lets see if we make it to 2012!
