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

So.....(long pause--I can't believe I am posting this)....can anyone else see a man's face in the smoke?



I was just flipping back and forth through all of the webcams, and this face just jumped out. Weird.
And before anyone says I doctored it, rofl. I have Paint, and barely know how to crop a photo.

Here is the link to the webcam. Source--click on Cam2

0422 - She woke me up - and She's putting on quite a show. Getting loud. Fire bombs - and YES! For the first time in ages a lot of lightening in the clouds of ash!

I regret the pictures will not be as easy to see - the moons not around to help me out with lighting this time.

Be right back with stills - but I suggest anyone who's interested in seeing quite a show get to the web cams.

Edit to Add: Here's one link for a webcam from Tzavros - there are other on this page and back a page!

Etna WebCam

Promise - a tripod is next on my list even if I have to make one. But here you get the idea - though I must say this photo does her NO credit for the size and output of the eruption at this time.

Amazing news and fantastic photos... please be safe...

Carming down nicly now. She got to the 95 mark which is less than usual. Do a full report later today. You can still see activity on the cams though.

She kept up her action through the morning. I took these next photos early as the sun was coming up. (Couldn't post them earlier as I had a hard time getting into my account)...

For now? It's all over and all we've got is the pictures!

Thank you again everyone, and a special thanks to Tzavros!



peace

Until next time...

What amazing photos! Your sky is soooooooo blue! I can't believe you live that close to a volcano...and you aren't freaking out! Glad it's over and your safe - thanks again for the pics - beautiful!

Yeah, you should have seen her today - little Miss Innocent staring down as if to say 'Did I do that?'

Thanks for joining in OldCurmudgeon.

More pics coming soon...

Until next time.

Nothing yet. Yesterday was very active on my earthquake side. Usually I say two days from that "if" she want's to play. She has had one unladylike Burp since her last eruption. That lasted minutes and now worth reporting.
The stats are a bit broken at the moment. I will try and post a pic later.
have fun

She's putting out such a huge amount of steam today it's unreal! Tzavros - you have any idea what's in store for us? How's that 'triangle' looking?

I'll have to post some pics once I can get outside but I'm still recovering from pneumonia. Oh heck, I'll go take a pic anyway!

Looking forward to hearing from you Tzavros! Then again if we don't hear from you I'm sure that means Etna is all safe and sound just puffing lazily away!

peace

I cannot imagine living in the backyard of a volcano...

Southeast Crater is a lot warmer today. Nothing really urgent showing at the moment, I am watching for the rest of the day as even though stats are nice and level they are higher than yesterday.

I didn't see that bit that you were ill. How awful of me I hope you get better soon.
