  1. This happened last night, only a mile or two from where we live. As far as I know no one was hurt, but must have been frightening. Those houses are only a couple of years old, maybe even less than that.

    Can't believe I slept through the thunder and lightning at the time.My neighbour says it went on for quite a while and was really loud.

    I can now safely say that seeing a active volcano is one for the bucket-list now ticked off, a exhausting few days of long hikes and little sleep but i've been fortunate with the weather and the now Police/SAR restrictions imposed on the trails to/from Litli Hrutur due to 'tourists' doing stupid 'tourist stuff' only the day after I spent 14 hours just soaking it all in with all the other sensible watchers. 

    Way too many images to share on here but this is just a taster, compared to actually being there however it's a completely different atmosphere, the sound of the magma 'swishing' like a ocean tide, the heat, the smoke, and how eery the glow lights up any low clouds.

    Wow you made it there. What an experience. Great photos.

    I have been watching it on the live YouTube channels. I have seen some spectators in the background that certainly seemed foolhardy being so close.

    It feels like a week i've been glued to the stream 😄 finally it's payed off and the predictions have been correct, flights at KEF are grounded for now and i'm trying to find some low-cost fares to get out there and see this one as it's likely a 2-week event given the amount of magma predicted beneath. No luck thus far unless I want to fork out £289 with a 15hr layover, or extend it into 4 days.

    Would be great to see it in person. If you get there, you will have to share some photos on here.

    I've had this wind for what feels like months now 

    Haha, there is something called Deflatine that might help with that.

    Still been windy here today, but at least it is bringing warmer air now. And what are those white puffy things in the sky? It's been a couple of weeks with lovely blue skies.

    The garden is already needing watering so would be good to have some rain soon.

    Never heard of rip rides at Bournemouth beach before..  how did they sustain injuries that they succumbed to?

    Police asking the public not to speculate is ridiculous after all of the confusing information.

    I think it’s possible the casualties smashed into the pier supports, after the boat caused ‘rip currents’  by coming in too fast, from what I read. Obviously speculation, very sad whatever happened.

    Morning All,

     

     

    I wish this NE wind would do one its been like it for weeks.

    I agree, it still feels cold unless you can be in a very sheltered sunny spot. Apart from that it's lovely to have blue skies and sunshine.

    Could do with the odd shower though. Already having to do some watering of the garden plants.

    I wonder if it's only in Britain that we are never happy with the weather. It's either too hot, too cold, too rainy, too grey, too windy etc.
