As suspected already last night by the presence of intermittent strombolian activity and the slowly rising tremor, this activity continued to evolve gradually throughout the night and early this morning. Tremor reached high levels at 7.40 a.m., followed by a strong increase of explosive activity at the SE crater from 10.15 a.m.

Lava fountaining was observed to have started at around that time, and lasted until 12.20 p.m. It generated a dense ash plume that rose several kilometers and drifted east, producing ash falls in the area of Piedimonte and Linguaglossa.

What are we up to now...

Unpronouncable in Iceland, La Palma, Kilauea, Mount Etna...

How much more taxes will Italians have to pay to offset this?

[Lurkinanloomin]

There’s one in Japan going off, too.

Mount Aso burped...

I read your mind! :-)

Oh, to be a volcanologist right now...

If I were the Italians, I’d try throwing in a few politicians first...

We could do our own “Joe versus the volcano “, I have an idea for the lead.

"“Intermittent Strombolian Activity” Now I’m hungry for Stromboli."

My first thought was of the evil "Stromboli" character in Pinocchio.

Jules Verne's 1864 novel Journey to the Center of the Earth begins at the Icelandic volcanic crater Snæfellsjökull (which is only 50 miles from the Fagradalsfjall volcano which erupted in March 2021 after 800 years) and ends at an eruption of Mt. Etna.
