February 6-7, 2015 A large blast occurred at Sakurajima Volcano in South Japan (yet again). Happening late in the evening on the 6th, the newest eruption carried over into the early morning hours of the 7th (this morning). The previous large eruption began with a multiple day steaming event, immediately followed by a large blast of lava on January 25th 2015 (seen here: http://bit.ly/1JGhLbA ). This ongoing active eruption began in earnest after the blast(s), producing an over 3 hour eruption on January 28th 2015 (seen the timelapse of the previous large eruption here: http://bit.ly/1Ktugtx The large ash cloud clearly extending multiple kilometers in the atmosphere, and also spreading multiple KM down wind from the eruption location. As of yesterday (Feb 6 2015) the ash cloud actually reached the West Coast of the United States, hitting Oregon and Washington state with a thin layer of ash mixed with the rain. The ash laden rainfall on the West coast has made national news.. http://cnn.it/1KtugJK EVERYONE still guessing where the ash came from.. now they're saying Shivulech Volcano in Russia... See the eruption (and record it) live here: 地震火山噴火溶岩日本 (as seen on http://bit.ly/1z1LFr0 ) Sakurajima volcano has been active in the past (2011 especially), and has since calmed down over the past year, now picking back up pace with multiple eruptions occurring recently.
