Novo evento explosivo no Etna
Após pouco mais de três semanas de acalmia, na manhã de ontem, dia 21 de setembro, o vulcão Etna voltou a produzir um violento episódio de fontes de lava, conhecido como paroxismo, a partir da cratera SE.
Às 04:20 (hora local), o tremor vulcânico começou a aumentar repentinamente e, pelas 08:15, começou-se a observar a emissão de cinzas a partir da cratera Nova SE. Pelas 08:55 iniciou-se a atividade explosiva de estilo estromboliano, gerando uma pluma de cinzas que rapidamente subiu para 4.500 metros de altitude. Esta atividade continuou a intensificar-se, e por volta das 09:55 formaram-se fontes de lava que originaram uma coluna de cinzas que atingiu aproximadamente 9.000 m de altura e que derivou para ENE. Pelas 08:50, a amplitude média do tremor vulcânico atingiu valores baixos e semelhantes ao período pré-eruptivo. Formou-se uma escoada lávica que progrediu para sudoeste e que foi canalizada por entre o Monte Barbagallo e e Monte Frumento Supino.
Pelas 15:59 (hora local), o Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia​ (INGV) emitiu um comunicado a dar por terminado o evento eruptivo, com base na análise das imagens das câmaras de videovigilância e por observação direta de uma equipa do INGV que se deslocou ao cume.

Richard, (my husband), never really talked a lot about his time in Viet Nam, other than he had been shot by a sniper. However, he had a rather grainy, 8 x 10 black and white photo he had taken at a USO show of Ann Margret with Bob Hope in the background that was one of his treasures.
A few years ago, Ann Margaret was doing a book signing at a local bookstore. Richard wanted to see if he could get her to Sign the treasured photo so he arrived at the bookstore at 12 o’clock for the 7:30 signing.
When I got there after work, the line went all the way around the bookstore, circled the parking lot, and disappeared behind a parking garage. Before her appearance, bookstore employees announced that she would sign only her book and no memorabilia would be permitted.
Richard was disappointed, but wanted to show her the photo and let her know how much those
shows meant to lonely GI’s so far from home.. Ann Margaret came out looking as
beautiful as ever and, as second in line, it was soon Richard’s turn.
He presented the book for her signature and then took out the photo. When he did, there were many shouts from the employees that she would not sign it. Richard said, “I understand. I just wanted her to see it.”
She took one look at the photo, tears welled up in her eyes and she said, “This is one of my gentlemen from Viet Nam and I most certainly will sign his photo. I know what these men did for their country and I always have time for ‘my gentlemen.” With that, she pulled Richard across the table and planted a big kiss on him. She then made quite a to-do about the bravery of the young men she met over the years, how much she admired them, and how much she appreciated them. There weren’t too many dry eyes among those close enough to hear. She then posed for pictures and acted as if he were the only one there.
That night was a turning point for him. He walked a little straighter and, for the first time in years, was proud to have been a Vet. I’ll never forget Ann Margaret for her graciousness and how much that small act of kindness meant to my husband.
Later at dinner, Richard was very quiet. When I asked if he’d like to talk about it, my big, strong husband broke down in tears.. ”That’s the first time anyone ever thanked
me for my time in the Army,” he said.
I now make it a point to say ‘Thank you’ to every person I come across who served in our Armed Forces. Freedom does not come cheap and I am grateful for all those who have served their country.
If you’d like to pass on this story, feel free to do so. Perhaps it will help others to become aware of how important it is to acknowledge the contribution our service people make.
A True Patriot Will Pass This On. A Foreigner In This Country Might Not.
I would like to add my thanks to all that served, in all the wars, for our country. God Bless America!!
