La Palma volcano

Anyone else keeping an eye on the eruption? It's activity level increases each day.

Just waiting for the massive landslide that may happen and the ensuing tsunami to cleanse Florida...

 

Thanks for the link. So, the East coast has its version of the San Andreas.

Just amazing that we are able to see this happening live. As an official old fart, the incredulity of the technology is not lost on me.

I lived through Mt. St. Helens erupting and felt the ash on my skin, and then saw the aftermath of Mt. Pinatubo when my Navy ship docked in Subic Bay. So, I have been there and done that. But this event being broadcast live is pretty cool as well.

Looks like the slipping of half the mountain into the ocean and causing a destructive tsunami is not going to happen.

 

My squadron was on det to Clark AB about a month before Pinatubo blew it's top and buried it. Watched on TV as the ash fell on Angeles City, and Clark. I was saddened, as it was a beautiful base. They stuck us in a condemned barracks in the edge of nothing. I was lucky, and was able to move into a girl's room in their barracks. Right across the parking lot from the chow hall. Some absolutely fantastic food, I kid you not. Those Phillippino chefs that worked there were awesome! I had to do a lot of extra excersize to keep the weight off. Of course, the girl I was staying with helped with that a lot. I ate a LOT of that chow hall food. Made the Marine chow halls seem like a bad McDonalds.

Thanks for your service, Sir!
