Hey, remember the whole thunder/ice/volcano scenario in Iceland that cancelled a couple of European flights? Well a similar sort of deal went down in Japan on Sunday, between the Kagoshima and Miyazaki prefectures. Insert your own joke about Japan copying the west.
Granted, there is less of the lighting happening in the Shinmoedake eruption, whatever the well-timed photos might suggest; mostly it’s the ash and the falling rocks pouring from the 1.4km tall volcano that has Japanese authorities urging locals to evacuate.
This is the most active Shinmoedake has been in 300 years, and the first time it’s been active at all in the past 52; no injuries have been reported as of this posting.
