Remarkable footage, love the street sounds. It's like I'm sitting in the cantina, at a street-side table. The Modelo delivery truck is idling at the curb as the vendor brings fresh cases and kegs in the side door. It is early in the day, but the Reposado goes down just as well, beer back. There is nothing else to do but watch the volcano and chat with the friendly natives. My platter of luncheon tamales should arrive at any moment. I must remember to ask for another bowl of lime slices. Whoo, it's getting warm.
Impressive footage, and the shockwaves wow!
Most likely the wind. Look at the trees moving.
Cool you can see all the different minerals in the color of the dust and smoke.
Pretty large Vulcanian eruption with pyroclastic flows. Nature is definitely awe inspiring
Even more so our Creator!❤
Thanks afarTV! Best Regards and Best Wishes!
the shockwave made the camera shake
Around 0:55 for anyone wondering!
@@greygreen5610 just thinking out loud, but w little noise, and no changes in the cloud structure (should be visible if the explosion produced one), then it may be more likely to be shaking from eruption-related seismicity.
I think it was earthquakes.
@ there was a bang if you listen carefully, bare in mind the camera is a long way away.
@@greygreen5610 light bang yes, but no movement in the clouds from any shock wave. And the trees in the foreground are swaying as if responding to a rolling wave more than an abrupt shock. Just my observations and interpretation.
Wow
Increíble esta erupción, 😮 pobres las aldeas aledañas al volcán mas en la Zona de Retalhuleu
işte bu volkan külü zirai olarak en değerli gübre.!!!
😢 mi familia de Guatemala prevenidos 🇲🇽
Wow and they are worried about gas powered engines
@@caseycox3406 indeed. And to think rocks, mountains and volcano eruptions have been around way longer than us humans. It's not rocket science is it. But people still believe in the narrative on the news😳🙄
Funny how all of them are waking up more or less the same time one after the other
@@tonishairstyles1568 they’re not. The GeologyHub channel notes how many volcanoes are active on a weekly basis, and it’s surprisingly stable.
Santiaguito has been erupting for ages..eeupts every 20-30 min.Nothing nee about this.Alsways 20-40 volcanoes erupting at one time.Nothing unusual
Isn’t it? You are insightful. A lot of sleeping people say “nothing is new” and continue blindly walking along as did in Noah’s day and Mt. Vesuvius, etc.
2 Peter 3: 4
towards the end, it looks more like an Impressionest painting
Wow. I hope this is the last eruption. Praying for the safety of the people in the surrounding areas.
Santiaguito erupts every 20-30 min Some big and some smaller
@repyep2314 Is this the second large eruption there this month?
Praying never works. Never.
@lzugner Oh, you young baby boy. 👶
@@RubyRichmond-l8x itvdoes this every 20 min or so
Outrageous violation of Green new deal 😂😂
It’s so quiet😮
camera is too far away
Are those earthquakes shaking the camera?
@watrgrl2 Possibly it could be shockwaves, too. That pyroclastic flow is insane!! It completely covers the volcano 🌋 at the end of the video.
Wind
2:00 the video doesn't look real anymore. The image is weird.
È il terremoto il tremore nel video.?😮
@@giulianafrulli8623 wind and shock wave
Get ready. Many more to come with planets in perfect aligment on jan. 25th
Planets and weather has no effect on volcanoes
@repyep2314 not correct
Is that sound Ash falling in the background, or is it rain?
Wow, amazing pictures. Yet very dangerous to people who live nearby. Scarry indeed.
People were chatting and having a coffee..didnt seem very phased
I’ll just sit here and record…NO DANGER HERE……
