Eyjafjallajökull Ash Wreaking Havoc Across Europe, And It Could Get Even Worse

Be aware that Iceland's Eyjafjallajökull continues to open and shut airports across Europe, causing delays.
It's all pretty unpredictable of course, and if you're planning on air travel in the region there's really nothing that can do to avoid this, but just have a back-up plan since anything can happen.
Also expect more pain for related industries.
Airwise:
Trans-atlantic flights remain affected and are required to undergo significant rerouting, leading to some delays, the agency said earlier in a statement. "However, significant numbers of cancellations have not occurred."
Italian airports reopened from 1200 GMT on Sunday, following closure of a large part of the airspace in the north of the country in the morning, the civil aviation authority ENAC said.
Airports in the eastern part of northern Italy and in Venice, Trieste and Rimini had remained open, ENAC said.
Several northern Spanish airports, including Barcelona, reopened on Sunday after being shut on Saturday. But the Spanish civil aviation authority said a change in the direction of the ash cloud had forced them to close seven airports as of 1400 GMT: Asturias, Santander, Bilbao, Salamanca, Valladolid, Leon and Burgos. All other airports were open.

Note that Eyjafjallajökull's volcanic activity is ongoing. According to Earth Times, 'A series of tremors have also been registered which experts said were a "clear indication" that fresh magma is on the way to the volcano, he said, adding the agency was preparing for eruptions to keep going on.'

Katla Kan’t Wait!
Welcome Back Katla!
BP’s fault.
The sky is falling. The sky is falling. The sky is falling.
We are so not in control. I love it when the landlord lets us know who’s in charge
Well, we haven't tried sending Algore to stop the eruption yet.
They could just print out all the money the gubmint is spending and throw that into the vent. That would be sure to stop it up.
>>Katla is waking up!<<
I believe the talk at the beginning of this thing was that when Eyja goes, Katla folllows - and Katla is ALWAYS much worse. Of course, it may take Katla a few years to follow...
I’m noticing that I am seeing minkind more and more as a mere observer of events these days. We may understand them more and more, but ultimately, we are still just observing the planet do its thing.
DEEPWATER HORIZON:
Revelation 16:3
The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it turned into blood like that of a dead man, and every living thing in the sea died........
Eyjafjallajökull’s volcano:
Revelation 8:12
The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night.......
We have to begin by changing the name of this damn thing. We avoid talking about it because it makes us sound like we’re tossing our cookies when we try to pronounce it. I nominate we call it Mt. Gore from now on. All in favor?
Aye.
Easier to spell that way
Double plus ungood.
I've been calling it "Fred."
“I nominate we call it Mt. Gore from now on. All in favor?
I’ve been calling it “Fred.”
“Fred’s” OK too.
bump
How about we just toss him in the damn thing to appease the gods?
(We'd probably hear a grumbling "PTUI" and watch him fly back out.)
Yah.
I agree about the name thing, but let the Icelanders decide what to call it. I call it “the small one with the big name.” Katla is “the big one with the small name.” Earthquakes on Katla are not good news, even if only a three. The SHTF when Kayla goes.
Dang. I was going to say that thank goodness the order of the actual events is different than those in Revelations. But then I looked at the verse numbers.......
