Voor het geval je nog niet echt een goed idee had van hoe fors de winden zijn die de natuurbranden in Californië en rond LA aanwakkeren...

De Taäl-vulkaan op de Filipijnen barstte vandaag (03-12- 2024) om 17:58 uit (oranje=lage zon). Flinke freato-magmatische eruptie. Gruiswolk kwam 2800 m hoog. Witte wolken rechts zijn pure stoom van verdampend kratermeer. Stoom + gruis = enorm veel vulkaanbliksem. (Goed kijken.)

Taäl is 1 van de meest actieve Filipijnse vulkanen, extreem krachtige uitbarstingen met pyroclastische stromen hebben in het verleden veel dodelijke slachtoffers gemaakt. Of wat we nu zien het begin is van groter geweld of niet is altijd de vraag. We gaan het zien...
