Iseeyou, you dick
Also lol Iceland starting another attack on England.
This one was taken last night.
Well, at least its a pretty act of terrorism

Never before have been so many lightning in volcanic eruption in Iceland as the eruption that began in Grímsvötn today.
Shown on the web service, the 2198 lightning measured from midnight to 1 at night.
In comparison, Eyjafjallajökull scored highest in the 22 glacier eruption lightning in one hour at from 8 to 9 on 16 May last year.
In the first 18 hours of the eruption have been about 15 thousand lightning strikes, alot
more than Eyjafjallajökull 39 days Glacier volcanic eruption lightning scored 790 in the same measuring system. Research in Glacier eruption suggests that lightning will happen when it rises high and the water in it freezes.
Gosmökkurinn in Grímsvötn went above 20 km altitude yesterday. This morning according to instrument it had fallen to 15 km. Today he has been so for about 10 km and again at 11 km.
IMO says that the eruption is near the place which erupted in 2004. Last glacier flood ran from 31st Grímsvötn October 2010 and a little water has gathered since. When Grímsvötn erupted in 1998 and 2004 glacier burst floods happened shortly after the eruption began. Is not expected to happen in such extent now.

Pilots flying 10 km from the volcano are reporting shockwaves hitting the planes.

oh and clogging up my airports.

Out of curiosity do you have to wear breathing masks now?

Yes, if you live on the southern coast.
The ash cloud coming to Reykjavik.
Heh, I live 100 meters to the left of that hospital in the last pic. The sky was brown
last night. Its better now because of the northern storm that is happening now.
I used to work as a electrician, after the housing market crashed I bought 20%
in my fathers dry cleaning and started working with him there. We take care
of most of the big hotels and many companies including CCP. Thats why I was in the
lobby in CCP and saw the CSM talking. Driving to day was np, though my eyes where
abit red and irritated and my mouth felt like it had sand in it. Its nothing compared
to the peeps on the south coast.
All the pics are taken yesterday in broad daylight.
But how does a volcano stop a myth??

Iceland in the north now.
The southern coast is engulfed in a insane ash cloud storm now. Cars are getting stripped of there paint and windows are matting.

This is what you see when you look out window.
Wont this pretty much kill what agriculture you have left over there?

wish i had a car repair shop in iceland right now
Depends on how long this lasts. Lets hope this shit starts to calm dawn soon.
Some types of volcanic ash can be p. decent fertiliser iirc.
'Fertilizer' usually means PNK's, something in abundance in wood ash and i assume the ejecta from that volcano; probably sulfates too. But too much of this is bad for plants, they get 'burnt' by it (dehydrated, these are hygroscopic) and plants are browned by excess pnk's. Short story is, dumping excess nitrates etc.. on plants kills them. Add in pastures being buried under drifts of ash, pH effects etc... and if i was a farmer over there I'd be filling out the bankruptcy/state aid forms right now.
EDIT: and if this showed no sign of letting up I'd be killing my herds, which is more humane than letting them breathe caustic particulate ash until lungs give out.

Hey will this affect my game?
+rep ;)
they bring them inside out of harms way
Is this another level 4 eruption, or is it more powerful?
?"eve's a bad mmo, really bad, it's only saving grace is the people playing it, which i guess doesn't say great things about the people playing other MMOs"
We dont use the lvl system. It is very big eruption though. They say now that in
the first 10 hours it was putting out 20.000 tons of ash per sek and the cloud was
going up to 60.000 feet(20 km). It went down to 10.000 tons per sek the next day,
now its about 100 tons per sek. So its has gone down considerably thank God.
Eyjafjallajökull was putting out 750 tons per sek in the first 3 days before it calmed down.
So Grímsvötn is about 25 times bigger than Eyjafjallajökull eruption but the ash is
different, bigger ash particles so it will not be carried by the wind for such long distances
as last year.
So it has calmed down and the best wind direction possible happened yesterday.
It blew the ash cloud out to sea
The farmers are trying to gather the sheep they can find and bringing them inside.
The ash is a excellent soil/fertilizer. The Icelandic plants dont seem to get burned
by it, I guess they have seen this all before multiple times. They will break through
the ash up to 10/20cm cm I think. Anything more than that, nature will have to
start again on top.

Worst we have to deal with in the UK is rain and storms

I guess level is the wrong word (I'm not a vulcanologist) for the different numbers on the Volcanic Exclusivity Index. If the plume is 20km, that ranks it as a 'cataclysmic' (VEI 4) eruption, and such eruptions (globally) usually occur ten or more years apart. Last year's Eyjafjallajokull eruption was also a cataclysmic eruption, so that's some pretty unusual timing. The 'dirty thunder' seen with both eruptions is actually supposedly pretty rare, so these eruptions are probably really fun for the people who study volcanos.
It seems like Icelandic wildlife is fairly well suited for surviving these sorts of things, and I'm glad the people are doing well too.

Is that 20.000tons of ash per second? O.O
That number seems improbable.

That is what the scientist are saying. The eruption is over now, a very strange thing indeed. This was the biggest eruption in the last 100 years but also the shortest one on record(3 days). A short eruption in Iceland is like 1 month, long one is 3 to 5 years. It put out more material in the first 2 days then Eyjafjallajökull did in its 40 days of erupting.
For perspective in this pic, taken probably around 20 km away. You would hardly see the USS Ronald Reagan that is 113,600 tons and 332.8 meters in length, put your little fingernail at the pic. It would be like half of that.
Some really sweet as pics came out of this one, the last one was just cool cause its name was 30 letters long and totally unpronounceable.

Katla has always been a jealous whore. She cant keep her mouth shut when the rest of the family gets some spot light.
Here you can her with her skirt of destruction. As you can see the southern coast looks a lot different then the rest of Iceland(No fjords). Its basically made up of sand and volcanic debris from glacial floods over the ages.
Heh look at Eyjafjallajökull standing next to her to the left, so small.A much more prudent and civilized volcano than Katla.
Its only a little burp though. You can see the ash from Grímsvötn on top and Eyjafjallajökull ash around 20 meters down.
Some vids of the flood that ran to the sea.
1 day designing , then work non stop for 94 hours. A new 156 meter steel and timber bridge is born.
Very nice work by those guys if I say so my self.
