Yes trouble is I am away from all the stuff I use to watch her. Feel very useless at the moment. All week She has been acting different and making any reading almost impossible. Once I get home I will have a study of what has happened . She just likes to keep us on our toes I think.

Good views on Cam 3 White steam mixed with the black ash.

She'd quieting now.

I had just enough time to run get more batteries and once again - sure proof she'll quiet? When I've got a whole new 4-pack!

Light humor, but taking a step back into reality?

That was fast.

And violent.

Unexpected.

Curiously it leaves me with the niggling feeling - I have NO idea what this Volcano can really do.

It should be just like that.

peace

***Looking forward to seeing your report later Tzavros***

I think if we knew what to expect or She behaved the same way each time we would all get very bored.

Strange. I think She has had a face lift. Still can't see clearly but is there a new small point, very sharp point?
Looking First cam

I'm waiting for all the dust to clear to get a shot - but it did seem (emphasis on seem) that she lost part of the cone earlier. Could have been a trick of light and ash. We shall see!

Small point just in front to the smoke.

Report for today from INGV, There will be more later. I will also post the stats for this morning which shows the rapid buildup for the shore eruption.
On the morning of 8 September 2011, the New Southeast Crater of Etna has produced its 13th paroxysmal eruptive episode of the year 2011, generating a tall eruption column that moved south-southeast, and provoking ash and lapilli falls on numerous population centers including Trecastagni, Viagrande, San Giovanni La Punta, and the eastern part of Catania. During this paroxysm, new vents opened also on the northern flank of the New Southeast Crater cone. She is changing shape.

Unfortunatly this is one of those cams that run between certain times. There used to be the most fantastic Audio/video I wish that was still there.

Watch the end of this second one....hope it's nothing.
