Want to post this link again... Bob's pic is from Cam 1 - Cam 6 shows the lava too.

Really wish I could flag this thread but i've not been here long enough.

Awesome



Hope you and your pets are safe Silo.

its gone now

I can't see it now. She is throwing glowing bolders, it could be that.

I can see the 'lava bombs' through the ash.
It's spectacular.
The ash is letting up some.
Luci is better (she's my new Etna gauge) but the noise and tremors and fallout have not stopped.

I'm going back out again in a moment.

OK ....thanks! I 'm learning about volcanoes here, since I have never watched one erupt live.

Maybe it's going to simmer down I hope!

Still can't get to the data, but she looks a little better. She should end with several big booms.

If my voice double would shut up you could hear Etna in the background. Especially at the end.



peace

Wow! It's a constant rumble. Thanks for that

stay safe and God bless staying there looking after all ur 4 legged friends u r a good carer.... keep us posted please! Stars many stars that don't shine as bright as Enta in the night....

Your "Orbs" are everywhere now.

It looks like She is going back to sleep now.
Managed to get the data.

reply to post by Tzavros

She's getting quiet, and the 'rain-ah' has stopped falling (at least here) but the lava is just out of this world! Maybe now she's let off the gas pressure she'll quiet her rumbling - but she's 'flowing' hard and fast.

Have to get back to Luci - But I've a sneaking suspicion she's turning from 'scared' puppy into 'Oh look Mom will hug me now if I whine' spoiled puppy!

Once again thank you all SO MUCH for your help and participation in the thread.

Until next time...

Hopefully that is it for tonight and we can all sleep. Spolt puppies are great

Going to watch the data for another hour just to be sure it is not going up again.
