Mt. Etna Eruption ~ Local Coverage (latest event: Feb. 19 0500 local time! )

reply to post by Tzavros

Yeah I just went back outside a moment. It's getting huge. It's also spilling down (from my view) to the south and east. I've never seen it there.

I hope I can get a few pics before my batteries give out - I have to wait for just a little more light.

peace

danger of earthquakes?

reply to post by goli4s

Wow! Thank you. Can you hear her?

Valle del Bove is on the NE side of Etna. This flow is moving down the flanks SEwards towards the general direction of Catania. I wish it was going into Valle del Bove and giving us all a show without posing a threat to anyone, but unfortunately this time round things are different and now we need to see what places could be effected by this flow.

Cam 5 for reference is looking Due North with Catania in the foreground.

Danger of earthquakes?
I don't know.
I feel the ground move when she blows - but not like a real earthquake - just from her loud noise.
She is getting VERY loud now, much louder than before.
I hope you can hear her.

peace

The little arrow points to an old fissure I have running through the back of the vineyard.

I don't have any fear it's headed this way though. None at all. Nope... Well...

peace

You're in Gravina! So you can hear her! Great! I hope you can get it on film! Thank you for keeping us posted.



Are dogs howling there? They just started howling in this area. It has my skin crawling.

Dude GO NOW!
Milo Cam has picked up a lava flow, which is headed right for you. Tell the cops, neighbours, anyone also in the path. Time to get out of 'dodge' my friend, your time is short with verification from this cam alone has got me hoping your taking this seriously and packing up the car already.

Silo - For the Heavens Sake - PLAN YOUR REVACUATION ROOT NOW! Ya know, - this is the real deal here dear! This is bigger than those older other Lava flows - - ! AND then there is the ASH FALLOUT. Don't mean to make it worse for you than it is - but - trying to keep you on track on things. I am certain you thought this out for years (I hope). Be smart - help others if you can - and throw the animals in a cart with a cover if you must.

Incredible!!!

Grazie Mille!

Silo13, we haven't heard from you for ten minutes now. Are you OK or are you bugging out?


Oh, OK I see that you just posted above

reply to post by goli4s


That was the best video yet goli! Could hear great booms and howling dogs but alas it was too short!!!

Has the flow slowed a bit or is that just because of the change of light?

Silo, Goli4s, and anyone else reading this who is near the volcano - please know that you have an entire world of friends here at ATS, both known and unknown, who are sending our thoughts and prayers to you and everyone else being affected.

God bless and PLEASE be safe!
