Neat. Maybe we will have a bunch more erupt around the world so we have something interesting to talk about.

Such bad timing for me. My flight back to Japan will likely be increased in duration from these eruptions.

So it begins....

I just checked and found out those things were 110 miles apart and that they didn't think it was coming from the same magma source, so yeah, that's pretty awesome .

I'm thinking that the big earthquake in Japan might have shook loose a lot of things . I don't think Fuji is doing anything but I noticed they just drew up a new evacuation plan in case it does . I knew about one volcano in Kamchatka but not that there were four from multiple sources .

If I lived over there I think I'd start easing as far away as I could from faults and volcanoes .

Now rickymouse......why must you carry on with such negativity??

I have noticed an over abundance of sarcasm spewing from your text of late.

Give it a rest homeboy, this is a pretty rare happening, and you are not scoring many brownie points around these parts

It seems to me that there are many volcano's around the world that are "waking up" and/or becoming more active.
The weather is still crazy at best,
it's said that solar maximum is peaking this year,
there have been sink holes opening up all around the world,
animal die offs are off the charts (it seems)
forgetting to take your microscopic Lego star wars gun out of your pocket before going to school gets you expelled,
US Government is taking away our constitutional rights everyday and giving more to the Illegal Aliens in this country than they do their own citizens,
true health and health care is a pipe dream due to big pharma & health care costs,
the flu is the worst it's ever been (as it is every year)
not to mention the return of other viruses and infections thought to be controlled by vaccinations (of which seem to be causing more damage than good now)
& civil unrest is nearing it's explosion point.

Be a natural disaster or a man made one, I tend to look at it all and wonder if it's all just fear mongering hype to control the masses or if maybe that 2012 thing wasn't so far off to after all.

Why?
It's a fact that events such as volcanic eruptions or earthquakes often trigger "chain reactions", commonly volcanic eruptions triggering earthquakes from across the other side of the continent, or even world.
The mechanisms of the earth run much deeper than we imagine.

The four volcanoes have been erupting simultaneously since November. Spectacular show, yes. But they didn't all suddenly go crazy today, like church bells ringing. Just saying...
