That is truly awful.
I hate to be the bearer of even worse news but it just might get worse. If you have read the following then you already know what may be to come:
“Eyjafjallajökull is a stratovolcano composed of alternating layers of ash, lava, and rocks ejected by earlier eruptions. This volcano rises to a height of 5,466ft above sea level. It began erupting for the first time in 190 years on March 20, 2010.”
“The eruption opened a 2,000ft fissure, and also produced lava fountains that built several hills of bubble-filled lava rocks, called scoria, along the vent.”
“Experts fear that the current eruption could trigger a much larger explosion of nearby Mount Katla.”
[The oft mentioned sister volcano. Bigger volcano, smaller name.]
“Katla is described as ‘enormously powerful’, and because it lies under a glacier its eruption would cause a huge glacial outburst flood and could spread its shadow over a much larger area.”
Gives new meaning to the expression, “...when shit hits the fan!”
Odd isn’t it that its first eruption occurred on March 20, 2010...now...thinking cap on...what happened that day??? Hmmm...and the following day, Monday, March 21, 2010, didn’t a certain ‘narcisist in chief’ go before a microphone, and with a band of laughing co-conspirators MOCK that ‘when he woke up, the sun was shining, birds were singing, and peiple could still go to their own doctors, (que uproarious laughter from his adoring pols).
Kinda like ‘sudden’ blizzards in DC and Hopenhagen (when GolBull Warming summits were to be held).
The Almighty does have a sense of humor, smacking down the mere mortals who claim their control of HIS planet.
I saw on Drudge that Grahamnesty, LIEberman et al “plan” for their ‘drop’ of the Climate Control Cap and Trade Bill next Monday, April 26. Any guesses on the next volcano to “blow” to defeat this one?
