So there are several volcanoes in my country. Fortunately only about 5 are active. For the last year one of them has been acting up and in the past week he has been getting a bit annoying. Although I live about 65 Km from it, the ashes still manage to get to my house and the smell is really bad at times (we literally breathe ashes! ) Below you will see a pic of the volcano and the ashes over my car. It gets really annoying to clean everything over and over again, trust me! We even have to make sure the dogs get cleaned up before coming into the house so they don't end up licking their paws and getting sick (they can't be outside for too long since it's not safe for them) In case anyone is interested in this sort of stuff, you can also see videos of the eruptions here: www.facebook.com/OVSICORI/ and you can also see live feed from the volcano here: www.ovsicori.una.ac.cr/index.php/vulcanologia/camaras-volcanes/camara-v-turrialbaoZ

Yes, they are the ones that are really having a bad time. Most of the people around that area are farmers so their crops are ruined and the cattle can't eat the grass, so for them it's really bad.

If I ordered food from a cratering company, I'd be sure to serve it indoors, rather than in the backyard.

As we were speaking while in the server the other day, this makes me think washing my car, because of the ashes, is not that big of a problem. At least I don't own a cow!!

At least the cows are probably getting lots of attention , I'm sure they're milking it for all it's worth.

Just to revive this thread and keep you updated. The volcano is still going at it. Yes it hasn't stopped since I first posted this... Now to make things more interesting, another volcano woke up. This one is about 50 Km north. I guess the "volcano people" noticed that when the wind changes direction I wasn't getting any ashes in my house, so they decided to fix the problem for me... As I told Hoff, it looks like someone is playing Jumanji here in San Jose. In case you are in Facebook and want to keep up with the game, you can find pictures and videos of both of these guys here: www.facebook.com/OVSICORI/ It's in spanish but the ashes and smoke don't need much translation. oZ

We have 3 volcanos over here, only one of threw some ashes like 5 years ago... A couple weeks ago we started feeling earth movements and experts believe its related to one of the volcanoes that is showing some activity but you cannot perceive ashes yet
