Never mind the weather - Volcanic Activity !
Oh noes.
Seems like Mother Earth is still shifting and shaking down here in New Zealand. I'd really rather everything would stop with the natural seismic activity thank you very much.

Geonet where I see White Island has also changed it's status.

I can't believe the stench from it, even indoors & we're a 100 miles away.

"Weatherwatch said where the ash would go depended on the wind."
Nice to know they are using cutting-edge analysis.

I hope NZ doesn't have to buy those stupid carbon credits to offset the greenhouse gas emissions. Or we're totally screwed.

Australia is readying Tasmania to take refugees. Please bring your own beer and rations.
Sorry but Christmas Island is full right now.

I hope to goodness that this post doesn't soon turn out to be in very bad taste. Yes, thanks for your concern- next time Australia has a bush fire raging near you, I'll be sure to return your sentiments.

Actually, I won't- I'm just not that interested in turning everything into a NZ-Oz point scoring exercise. I'll almost certainly just care about you.

Re: Never mind the weather - Volcanic Activity !
From what I've seen on the news here the volcano has settled down since its eggy burp last night and it was a hydrothermal release from a vent, not the mountain blowing its top. To compare that with deadly bushfires is pushing it a bit in my opinion given what's in the news here today.

Yes of course it's concerning, but if it does come to the worst we're all in this together as we always are.
