Was about to ask for a lightening photo. Hope everyone is ok, as these types of events are very...

NEVER underestimate the sheer power and driving force of Mother Nature.

BTW: Seems like volcanoes, geysers, deep sea hydrothermal vents, earthquakes, etc have become quite active in the past year or so. Magnetic North is also moving far faster than anticipated by scientists.

More greenhouse gases in minutes than years of normal energy consumption.

God bless the Philippines!

Good luck to the people in the area. I went through the eruption of Mt Pinatubo in 1991. It was not fun and the ash is devastating. My evacuation adventure lasted over three weeks with two weeks living in ash and mud. Not fun. Great photos by the way, very cool in photos but devastating otherwise.

It doesn't look like a very tall volcano at all.

Nope. Only 1020 feet.

Wow, that's very scary yet lovely at the same time. I hope all in the region have remained safe.
