1. Can you imagine how that would seem to people in the area who'd never seen photos

on the internetS informing them of what happens in the sky, too?

I would definitely think it was the end of the world. How terrifying that would be. Unbelievable.

Thanks, rabs. It's an emotional experience seeing those images even on a laptop so far away from the event. It would make a real mark in your psyche, a permanent fixture, to be there in person when it all goes wild.

3. People in latin america are not as backward as you think. nt

[Judi Lynn]

4. Nope, you're deliberately misstating it, as always.

I was specifically thinking what I would think if I, even now, after seeing real photos of volcanoes and lightning, were standing within viewing distance of something like that and witnessed it personally.

If I had never seen photos informing me clouds with lightning actually form above the volcano I would be terrorized beyond belief.

Your eagerness to smear people gets the best of you almost every time. How on earth do you expect to carry any credibility when your hostility blocks out your ability to be civil, anyway?

7. nah

We know that you think. You were imagining yourself as one of the poor latin americans without a phone that you imagine exists. I know, I understand. You live in a university town are were taught that outside of the united states everyone lives in a nice peaceful village that is devoid of the evilness of the modern world with the exception of fascists trying to steal their land. I was taught that, too. Then, of course, I actually left the country to see the world for myself.

8. Here is what you actually said:

"Can you imagine how that would seem to people in the area who'd never seen photos"

Where are these people in the area who'd never seen photos? In your mind?

[Judi Lynn]

9. Apparently it's a reading comprehension problem. You are wildly off base.

I would imagine anyone reading my comment would see I said EXACTLY what I said I said. Nothing else.

Stop your witless yammering.

[naaman fletcher]

10. you said

""Can you imagine how that would seem to people in the area who'd never seen photos""

And you have previously said that latin americans don't have telephones.

[naaman fletcher]

11. stop your thinking latin americans are primitive nt.

[Judi Lynn]

12. Repeating that lie will not convince anyone your "take" on my post is right.

I came nowhere near your obnoxious, absurd lie about my meaning.

You should forget this stupidity, and back away from it. You are completely wrong in pursuing it.

Didn't claim they are primitive. I said if I hadn't seen the photos which explained to me that volcanic clouds contain horrendous, hellish lighting storms, I would be terrorized.

I said anyone who saw this WITHOUT prior knowledge, as in seeing photos of it, as through the internet, as I did, for example, clearly, would be traumatized beyond belief, it would make a huge imprint in their lives.

How can you NOT grasp it? What does it take for you to understand what you are reading?

Your persistence in coming back to this deliberate lie over and over again marks you as someone who has far too much unstructured time on your hands.

[naaman fletcher]

13. easy..

you would NEVER have said such a thing if it was about an eruption in the US. You were picturing some salt of the earth marxist villagers who have no phones and little knowledge of the outside world other than occasional right wing militas trying to steal their land.

14. See photo #29 on the EMOL site

It is a graphic illustration that proves your point, especially for the little Mapuche child.

[Judi Lynn]

15. I had to see them all over again. Those clouds are just crazy, aren't they?

Just can't imagine how that much wildness can happen.

The child does look very upset, for sure. I had missed that the first time. Think I was just staring at the sky in all of them. I didn't even notice the helicopter the first time around.

That IS the best set of photos I've seen of volcanic clouds. I presume it took a couple of helicopters, or a plane, too, to get the job done. They are amazing.

Thank you.

2. Satellites observe South American volcano

Satellites observe South American volcano

GREENBELT, Md., June 6 (UPI) -- NASA says three of its satellites captured images of an erupting volcano in Chile with a large plume of ash extending at least 6 miles high.

About 3,500 people were evacuated when the Puyehue-Cordon volcano in Puyehue National Park in the Andes of Ranco province of Chile began erupting Saturday, CNN reported.

NASA said its Terra satellite flew over the volcano Monday and captured an image of the eruption that showed the large ash plume blowing northeast, and then to the southeast and over the Atlantic Ocean.

The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites called GOES-13 and GOES-11 captured images of the volcano from different vantage points in space that revealed the plume was visible from even farther away, a NASA release said.
