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

Does anyone have Skype that can record? The booms are getting louder and I could probably get the headset out the window...

I thought she was calming down a bit - I as wrong.

peace

The huge rivers of lava are splitting up.

yep, despite what's being said, I don't see any evidence of pooling - that flow has been getting longer...

can you record it with your cell phone video?
you could then upload that to here

This might give you an idea of size

I don't have a cell phone.
I'm downloading a free recorder and will see if that will work.
In the mean time she's getting louder.

I have to laugh. It's getting a little lighter out. My rooster is crowing along with Etna!

peace

Ciao Tzavros - Thank you. I have to admit that looks so SMALL compared to what I'm seeing first hand! It's so huge!
Can you give me a link or did I miss it?
peace

Usually even when she is showing lava these are black.

Hi, i'm Danilo from Gravina (CATANIA) in Sicily.
This is one photo of eruption

Shrub fires now breaking out alongside the flanks of the lava flow. Radiant heat aswell as ejected lava bombs from the larger eruptions earlier being the obvious cause.

Ciao! La ringrazio molto! Senti lei? Qui è incredibile!

Goli - are you getting hit wish ash yet?

peace and stay safe!

LOL - (i'm the same way - but have some for business) --- Glad it's getting a little light for you. You need to think up a plan then, that take your animals with you! Keep very close in mind ash and ash on your roof. I don't know how much it has accumulated yet, but keep a close eyeball on it, get it off the roof if you can't leave.

Another big explosion and the river of lava is flowing farther and getting wider.





more lights in the buildings coming on.

Lava bombs! That's the word I was looking for. I can actually see them from here. It's breathtaking but has my stomach in knots, lol.

Thank you!

ADDED NOTE: I downloaded a piece of free recoding software but it's useless due to my headset and no mic on the computer.

SHE IS LOUD though!

I'm going to look online and see if any cams have sound.

peace
