Chile's Puyehue volcano erupts - some amazing images

[AdMan]

On Saturday, a volcano in the Puyehue-Cordon Caulle chain of south-central Chile erupted after lying dormant for more than 50 years. The government evacuated several thousand residents as Puyehue threw ash more than 6 miles (10 km) into the sky, pushing the plume toward neighboring Argentina. Authorities had already put the area around the volcano on alert after a flurry of earthquakes earlier on Saturday -- at one point, the tremors reached an average of 230 per hour. Collected here are a handful of spectacular photographs of the eruption this weekend and its effects in Chile and Argentina.

The volcano has already grounded much of the air travel in Argentina.

So they test fired HAARP again. I wonder what they're gearing up for. Probably to blow up Yellowstone and thus destroy much of North America.
