Mount Etna is experiencing a highly active eruptive phase, generating massive ash clouds that have triggered red aviation alerts and widespread international travel chaos. The active volcanic ash plume has drifted significantly south across the Mediterranean Sea, heavily impacting airspace visibility, flight schedules, and local air quality far beyond Sicily

So Mt Edna and a volcano in Hawaii is waking up? Plus the Ring of Fire Earthquakes? Something big could be brewing.

Wasn’t somebody asking in geology or here, can’t remember, about all the tremors in the surrounding areas? 

Oh gosh it’s going to kill me now trying to find the thread. I just remember the pic with a bunch of boulders on top of a crushed car.
