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

Latest data
The blip an hour ago. This would have been another Mild Strombolian action.



Latest from the cams.
Very blurry but you can see she is throwing stuff out a little more than usual tonight.

I'm not able to see it yet but still on the lookout.
So this is a different 'type' of 'action' from before? Or the same?
I'll go look on your links - THANK YOU!

peace

At the moment there is a slow climb. Flame showing at the top sometimes.

Showing a litle rise. At the moment this is only slight. If it is just a part of the ongoing Strombolian activity this will turn back down again. If she is heading for another paroxysmal eruptive episode then this will continue to rise. at the same time we will see other signs.



This is from cam 6at the moment

Still climbing. Up tp mark 7 now.

You might be able to see something now as there is a small lava flow.

Stats have shot up now.

Small jet showing on thermals.


Up to the 18 mark now and Sismico is showing a rise in activity.

I took this about 11 minutes ago.
I apologize for the blur - I've got the camera - but no tripod! That's next!

Isn't She amazing!

Thank God for a full moon too that helped!



And it looks like She'll be 'at this' for a while - there's no sign of Her slowing down - but She is VERY VERY quiet!

More later!

Fantastic She is going slowly, not at the noise stage yet, but she is throwing out a few lava bombs. Again, love the photo.

I think we can safely say she is now in an paroxysmal eruptive episode. You should get some brilliant photos tonight from her.

Lava flow. Showing nicly on radio 7

Getting a little hotter! This shot taken about 22:45 - local time.

She should start to give a few rumbles soon. Mark upto 25 and still rising.

Thanks for the photos Gracie...and the updates TZ.

Lovely, lovely lovely

She is moving up very slowly this time. She might not peek for ages. I am going to have to have a nap as I am at work tomorrow and up at 6am. Mark has only gone up to 33. Remeber in other events she reached 150.

@silo13-- You and the new camera do great work. Thank you. Those images are beautiful.
