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

She's playing up a little tonight with the stats climbing very slowly.

I don't know if anyone is awake. First eruption of 2012.

Not to steal your thunder but there was actually an eruption New Years day

Good views on the cams, have to leave for work now, keep safe.

WE GOT VERY LUCKY! I"LL EXPLAIN LATER!

HERE SHE IS!!!



peace

Got to work. Hope you are ok. Will post proper report once I have time. I have a lot of wind damage to clear up from last night

Ok, I've got to take a moment and explain what I meant earlier by 'we got lucky'.

First, Tzavros had a 'triangle feeling' Etna was on Her way for another eruption. I'd had my eye on her for a day or two for the same reason. Well, Her eruption didn't come before the end of the year but just after.

Why 'we' were 'lucky'?

My camera died at the first of the year and I had no pennies to get a new one. That being said I was FREAKING when Etna did her beautiful thing and I wasn't able to get a shot.

THEN I REMEMBERED MY OLD CAMERA! The poor thing is what - 10 years old and only a 2.1 mp and 'stuck' on 'landscape'. All I could think was it was worth the try and luckily I got a few shots.

Sad to say since then the camera's screen is fouled and it is good and truly dead but it did cough up a few pics for you all on her death bed.

I just love little miracles!

I think the world is going to be full of miracles this year!
Beautiful pics as usual Gracie. I have to say though they looked so good and clear I had two thoughts, somebody had lent you a more 'upmarket' camera, or you had found some 'press' photos somewhere.....just my visual impression of the piccys....maybe you should get that little ol' camera of yours seen to!?

Got a new camera.

And no, I didn't make this video but I thought you might enjoy this.



Happy New Year!

She's off again...

The land trembles in Pandara and Etna starts to fume again!

There was another earthquake in North Italy - and coincidence or no? It got Etna going again - or did it?

I'll keep my eyes open!

Added Note: I just went outside to check - She is putting out a lot of 'fume' - but seems eerily quiet. We'll see a s the night progresses.

In the mean time where's a video worth watching:



Let's hope Etna does NOT do this!

peace

Not yet, She is still stable. Earthquakes all around though which could start her. I have been watching the quakes for 3 days and expected Greece Turkey.. Higher than usual for Italy.
Will keep watch. She is due to go again.
