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

Added note: I will ALWAYS believe my Luci dog from now on. She new once before when it was a 'big one' and HOWLED this time - so - she's now officially a 'call dog' in my opinion.

Be back with more in a bit!

Waiting on upload of videos - here's some instant gratification for you before hand though, lol!



That's the size of the fallout while filming!

Holy Smokes! I thought you were just braving ash--those are rocks, Silo!
Please be careful.

Looking forward to the video, Etna really looks like she's kicking off today.

Here it comes!

I agree. A hardhat might be a good idea. I had to put a bucket on my head when I got caught in a Colorado hail storm. Getting cracked on the head with even a small projectile hurts like heck.

Love the pics and updates but please Silo be careful.

Sorry again about the gunk on the lens!

ENJOY!

Thank you for taking the time to film this for us. I will never get to see a volcano blow in real life so this is the next best thing.

Stay safe, and since it is now calming down, bask in the glory of getting to witness the power from that Lady blowing her top.

Sorry about the crummy filming - I'm trying to shoot into the sun, I can't see the display and getting pelted, lol!

I really hope you enjoyed it though!

And yes, I thank God inside and out I get to see this. I have to laugh! I don't get television or movies - but I have Etna!

peace

Thanks so very much Silo. This is some of the coolest stuff I have seen on ATS in a long time.

So when it sounds like its raining....is that rain mixed with rocks? Or just all rocks...or all rain?

Stay safe and thanks again for great sharing.

That's some great footage there. Sounds like someone got pelted though

Remember I'm working in reverse with the pictures - anyway, that being said?

Here's the 'new hole' opening up!



peace

Back home again. Wonderful images well done That was a big one and different. I will post later.
I need to look back, this is the 3rd time a large quake has started her off. Even though she has been doing this about once a month no other signs had been showing until the spike I posted just after the quake. As you say, I think there is also another vent.
The question is, how is she connected?

I heard the little "ow" on that video! Great video, thanks for sharing!

Looks like things have settled down. If Luci starts howling again, yikes!

Hope everybody and everything came through ok.

OiO

What amazing pictures and thanks for the cool vid!

Keep up the great work and please stay safe
