Something From the Movies

One of the blogs I hit on a daily basis, actually I find myself there a couple times a day is Notcot.org. I was on there yesterday and came across this amazing image. It was posted on Dailymail.co.uk back in early May of this year. Anyway, the pictures were taken of Chaiten Volcano in southern Chile. There's so much scientific jargon behind this volcanic phenomenon, I'm not even going to begin to try and explain. I could barely understand what I was reading in the article. Basically, I think it was a massive eruption of toxic ash which some how led to or helped create a violent electrical storm. To make matters worse, scientists thought this may lead to a catastrophic "pyroclastic flow." Don't really know what that is, but it was such that is believed to have destroyed Pompeii in AD79. Anyway, what an amazing picture. How great would it have been to be the guy to snap that pic. Not only that, but you would have been able to see it first hand. Talk about scary. Kudos to Carlos.
