God's best to you, Dear Heart.

Please be safe. Thanks for all you do hereon and otherwise.

Hi All -
I’ll be back in a bit with more information but we’ve been given a heads up ‘critical allert’ for Etna.
I’ve got to go get some water drawn and the tarps out, animals cared for etc.
I’ll be back in a bit to put up some translations and links.

This may be the last big one a the year.

peace all - be back in a bit.

peace

She's starting.
Be back.
Anyone with graphs?

Anyway - while drawing water the earth shoooook, there's lava fountain but n
othing flowing yet and only a little sound.

EYES OPEN

peace

BAD SHOT - but it's a start.

Hi Silo,

How close are you? Are you in danger of flying debris or lava if
there is a huge eruption? I hope you & your animals will be safe.

Cheers
Ektar

I thought I had a place bookmarked for current activity, but I can't find it. Dangit!!!
I tried to do a google search, but only old stuff came up.

Sorry I couldn't help you. I don't know what to look for, since this is not my area of expertise.

One more show before year's end, eh?

Happy Holiday week, Gracie! I look forward to another year of your wonderful images and 1st-hand accounts.

The clouds are already moving in - it’s going to be tough to keep tabs on this one.
So far not much more than the lava fountain.
Fingers crossed that’s all she’ll do - a nice quiet little send off for the year!

Eyes Open...

Ah-ha! Here we go. There is a graph on this page:

~ moments later ~



She’s getting louder. More frequent fountain bursts. No real ash yet (thank God).
I hope I don’t regret point that last part out. I’d hate to have to ‘eat’ my words - which is what I’ll have to do if she drops ash.

Thank you Sled - I really appreciate your help. I'm running back and forth doing three things at once at the moment. I'll check some graphs and post when they start to go up!

Thank you SO MUCH!

PLEASE be safe Dear Heart.

You aren't THAT far away from that fury.

Hugs and prayers.

Sweet little eruption.
A little lava. A little noise. No ash.
A nice send of into the New Year.

That is - so far!

She’s not done yet!

5.2 EQ north of you, could be big happening be careful!
Pics are great but....
It's not like, worth any harm to anyone.

Quoting the page that Sled linked to,

Update Sun 29 Dec 17:51 Activity is rapidly increasing towards the 21st paroxysm. The New SE crater produces near continuous bright strombolian explosions accompanied by loud explosion sounds. Tremor is rising steeply.

Sounds like Gracie and the kitty brigade will be on our minds today.

Great pics Silo. Can't get any better then your own back yard!! WOW!!!! Please be careful & stay safe!! So long as your safe, I can look forward to your awesome pics!! Good Luck!

Getting louder. Brighter. Billowing ash can be seen now - headed north and east.
Not having luck with pictures at the moment. Clouds and dull light isn't helping.
I'll keep trying.
It's not like She's cooling off at the moment.

Thanks everyone!

And yes, the Kitty Brigade is loving it!

Eyes Open -

Moving from ‘sweet little eruption’ into something a bit more dramatic.

I hope I have time to get to the graphs but at the moment I’ve my hands full.
