"Yesterday afternoon we suddenly decided to fly to La Palma for one day for this "once in a lifetime" event. Two hours later we were on the plane and four hours after that we witnessed this infernal rumble that simply cannot be compared to anything else. The videos and pictures don't really capture it. The experience will remain."

Hard to stop one of these... good luck or bad..?

Meteorite Crashes Through Ceiling and Lands on Woman’s Bed

After a fireball streaked through the Canadian sky, Ruth Hamilton, of British Columbia, found a 2.8-pound rock the size of a large man’s fist near her pillow.

"... The odds of a meteorite hurtling into someone’s home and hitting a bed in any given year is about one in 100 billion, ..."

That could be some money in her hands. Maybe enough to fix the hole in her roof, but maybe a lot more.

Kind of cool how they combined the drone imagery into one large picture that you can zoom in/out and pan over the lava flow.  Gives the viewer a much better idea of the area effected by the eruption. Link below is to that imagery. Move the cursor to the bottom of the page for a panel of pictures/drone flights taken on different days.
