So how does this compare with floods affecting Tintagel 2004 and Lynmouth 1952 and 2014?
Really puts our own sad mundane little life in perspective. Well I hope that it would.

I use one called “slow shutter cam” (Cogitap) and it’s an excellent app for iPhone lightning shots. Allowed me to capture this in 2019:

I will check it out. Great hearing about different apps.

Had lovely day here, the joys of having a garden ants slugs moggies and whatever flies or nibbles on our to them local takeaway.
Yes an exhausting day. Nice gently getting things sorted in the garden. Having said that I do seem to feel somewhat achey now.
So are we getting any thunderstorms tomorrow? So often much is promised but seldom it comes to anything.
Does anyone fancy trying to photograph a good burst of lightening.
Could always try this app. It is an iOS one but expect it is also available on alternative systems.

I just like how the lava field rises like a loaf of bread in a oven
Yes really gives a different perspective of what is actually happening.

This speeded up version of the lava flow really shows how it is growing in area and depth.

Access road coast road, cabling to sensors on other more dangerous volcanoes and fault lines.
an interview with Vísir yesterday, Fannar Jónasson, Mayor of Grindavík, expressed his concern regarding the flow of lava from the eruption near Fagradalsfjall toward Suðurstrandarvegur (a coastal road running between Grindavík and Þorlákshöfn, which besides being an important transportation artery has also been widely used by travellers visiting the volcano). If the lava were to flow into Nátthagi valley, it could stream south toward the coastal road, resulting in disruption to traffic and damage to infrastructure (including fibre-optic cables).
Many thanks. Much appreciated.

Only dip into this thread very fleetingly. Why did they construct the barrier? From what has been shown what is being protected?.

Mount Nyiragongo: DR Congo residents flee as volcano erupts
WWW.BBC.CO.UKThousands flee the city of Goma as nearby Mount Nyiragongo throws huge lava fountains into the air.Makes the Iceland eruption seem somewhat gentle and academic.

Has anyone else suffered from early tomato blight this year? I have. About a month earlier than usual. Been plotting blight for years. Usually it is early September. Had to pull up and dump 30 odd tomato plants today.
How go your tomatoes?
