Have a great weekend. They talk about the global community. Here is an example from West Michigan.

What day is the world commanded to go forward?

These are the effects of the eruption in the municipalities of the belt of Etna.

Etna is one of the most active volcanoes in the world, thankfully!
Otherwise it would be really big trouble for the inhabitants of Zafferana Etnea.

 

Here you can read something about it.

About 20 years ago I was visiting the place where that capital stands.

 

From the photo you can't see it, but I can tell you that a later eruption penetrated inside the capital and stopped at the base of the pedestal where a statue of the holy Mary is placed.

I hope everyone is ok! I can not really imagine that scenario.

Stephen, I just updated my previuos post.

 

Normally the lava comes out of the southwest crater and ends up in the Bove Valley which is a huge desert basin where it accumulates without doing any damage.

When it doesn't it is a problem for the inhabitants.
Often ash and lapilli force the airport of Catania to close, sometimes they have to close even that of Palermo.
