And for once, it wasn't me! No, it was Lady Etna literally letting off steam last night, in one of the most spectacular eruptions of the past 20 years. One "fountain of lava" from the Voragine or Central crater reached a height of over one kilometre. Residents of Catania, Messina and even Calabria woke up to find cars, balconies and other surfaces covered in ash and Reggio Calabria airport was closed for several hours.
Damn Lady Etna! She has no right to steal my title! I am the original Grumpy Old Woman! :)
ReplyDeleteI'll tell her next time I'm in Catania, Lee!
