Hi
I've a couple of pictures to post - will get to it in a moment.

She put out a lot of ash last evening but no rumbling or talking yet. I think She's got the scientists all figured out instead of them having her all figured out!

I'll keep you updated! And yes, people still talk about Her eruption when your sister was here!

peace

Superb job. Good post.

Well, now all the Global Cooling..I mean the Global Warming,....I mean Global Climate Change pundits, will now have to change it AGAIN!! to....Global Eruption Change.

Of course its all Man's fault, and to prove it you have to pay more Taxes, and live longer so you can pay more taxes, and when you eventually die at 150yo you can pay more taxes then too.

We're only 500 million trillion in debt to the Chinese......and they want more taxes on taxes.......

"Oooooh, the Yellow Rose of Taxes is the only one for meeeeee!!!

LOL! Looks like She's got me figured out too!

Just when I post She's quiet?

She lets off with a handful of 'booms' and then one HUGE one moments ago that drove me inside to the computer.

It's very hazy today and all I can see is some ash and smoke - but I'll get what pics I can.

So now if I say: 'Sounds like She might be up to something!' - She'll quiet right up! So I wont say a thing!

I took these last night way before sunset.
The day had been scorching hot and was still hot when the photos were taken.
The sky got that ‘look’ to it.
Very eerie for sure last evening.

And at the moment She’s still sounding off...

As you can see here She's under a lot of cover - but She's making HUGE noise now.

If anyone has some clearer camera angles I would truly appreciate (as would we all) if you'd post a link.

Watched her last night and the sky was amazing, almost lilac. Also I saw green glowing at the top. Did you see that at all?

That must have been just before I took the pictures above - then She turned a very strange red. Or, the clouds did.
I can't see anything at the moment but a lot of cloud cover. It's hard to tell though - with all the BOOMING She's doing, I suspect some of that cloud cover is Her, but, I can't verify it!

I know She’s up to something.
The cloud cover is masking the sight, but NOT the sound, which is outrageous...

I’ll try again later and see what I can see but at the moment? I now it’s there! I just can’t prove it in pictures!

I don't think it is cloud, I think it is Her.
In the first image you can just see the top peeping out. From a distance the typical space ship above her. This cloud changes direction but stays in the same place.

Etna update, 16 July 2011 from INGV SEZIONE DI CATANIA Nice pictures.

Thank you!

On the morning of 16 July 2011, a series of ash emissions from the active crater located on the eastern flank of the Southeast Crater cone marked the resumption of explosive activity within this crater, which produced loud booming sounds that were widely heard in populated areas on the slopes of Etna. This activity is occurring only one week after the latest paroxysmal episode, which took place at the same crater. Further updates on the evolving situation will be posted soon.

This is NOT MY PHOTO! Please see link above!

Well, she really is throwing a little tamtrum tonight.
Etna

Get to the web cams... I've never seen anything like it!

I've never seen anything like it.

I can't get a pic - but believe me.

This is BIG.

I'm getting hit with ash already.

I can hear it on the roof.

BE BACK WITH UPDATES!

WOW!

GO GO GO!!!!

I'm getting hit with huge pieces of fallout. The sound is like it's raining hard out.

I've got a couple of photos, let me re size - at least they're something - but bad quality I'm sure.

In the mean time?

This is the big one. Or at least the biggest thing we've seen in a long time.

The sound outside is incredible. Her booming. Ash falling. The sky is black with ash over the top and headed this way.

sorry to be completely off topic (apologies mods il take my chances), is Lucy ok now, as an owner of a 10 year old bichonfrise and an 8week old pug i was really concerned for her.
In an pathetic attempt to try and be on topic, what on earth i happening with etna?

She's rocking the house with her BOOMS!

I wish I could see better outside. I can't go back out under the ash at the moment.

Crops are gone I can bet you that... IF I have a garden at all to wake up to in the morning!

I hope you stay safe. If you need any ideas on air filtration for your home, let me know. A simple one would be using an air pump with a hose that runs into a pot of water. the water will filter the particulate out.

For me to be getting this much - at 0300 in the morning - you can only imagine what it looks like in first hand.

The ash is hitting hard. It stings on my bare shoulders. It stinks. It sounds like it's raining hard on the roof.

I'm back out to see.

peace
