[alan1961]

A swarm of earthquakes have hit the Eritrea/Ethiopian area on
the north east coast of Africa...it looks like these have been
the prelude to a volcanic eruption of a volcano in the area.

I wonder if this will affect the tropical weather as is in the same latitude the tropical waves emerge Africa. It seems like a big eruption.

Exactly my thoughts too cycloneye, although the ash
cloud seems to be veering to the north rather than spreading
further west.

BTW cycloneye..what program or software do you use to save
the animations as of above...cheers

Not to spam or adversite, but I posted this video to Earthquake-report.com here a few hours ago, gives you a quick run through of the events today for those who are just stumbling across it.

Latest advisory on the NABRO Volcano.

[RobWESTPACWX]

Just added this video on the volcano, I'm no geologist so hopefully this will be a one time thing. But must have came out good as the previous video was featured at the huffington post.

Very little info coming out of Eritrea about this. However, some reports of 7 people dead in Eritrea and people affected by the volcano across the border into Ethiopia.

Found a couple ground images of the volcano.

Apparently, Nabro is still erupting.
