Melissa in Australia Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Thought you might find it interesting that the dormant volcano that was used as the backdrop in Lord of the Rings has erupted http://au.news.yahoo.com/world/a/-/world/14479613/long-dormant-new-zealand-volcano-erupts/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Elf Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 The article said there was no seismic activity to warn them. That boggles my brain. I'm glad it wasn't worse than it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilltop Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 The article said there was no seismic activity to warn them. That boggles my brain. I'm glad it wasn't worse than it was. :iagree: I was thinking the same thing. I live very near a dormant volcano! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I'm thinking maybe Frodo actually made it this time, that why there was no activity. :tongue_smilie: Again, glad no one was hurt. Ds and I were discussing dormant volcanoes this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacia Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 :blink: Wowzers. And no seismic activity prior to the eruption.... :eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth S Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Aaak! Dear friends are spending the year in Taupo. It's close (center of the north island). Thanks for the news. Apparently no evacuations, just a lot of ash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
