Not sure. If it does go off hopefully the CAA will be a little more measured in their response this time.

And it will no doubt fart billions of whatevers of nasty greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere, more than lots and lots of cars have ever done.

Can't tax it though can they...

No idea. It is the largest one on the island though. The last one made it's own weather. Angry looking fecker.

Yeah, down here I think we had one day where the last lot made it, rinsed the cars as soon as I could. Did not us any brush or rag, just the hose full blast and close.

Holiday to Barcelona in 2.5 weeks, can but hope it either holds it in till we are back, or goes before we go so we aren't stuck, mainly as I don't want to be stuck in Spain while the indie vote goes on! Odd worry I grant you but important.

Last two years I had volcano cover on the travel insurance seeing as I was going outside Europe (natural disaster, no nonsense aid for finding and paying for hotels and re arranging travel etc). This year on renewal they had stopped it. Wonder where they get their reports from.....

The one in 2010 was a baby compared to this. The history does not make for pleasant reading.

The web cam should give a hint of trouble, that is the ice sheet that sits on top of it. Not when it is happening but what could be in store.
