content: No just kidding. It's lava. Hawai'iEdit: Oh bah. It seems the original excellent drone footage was sold to media, and the poster removed it from youtube.Gone now: youtube /watch?v=eNa3Vkj1KkIFragment of the drone footage included in the Guardian channel here: youtube /watch?v=IF8-l3l-2b8A still from the footage, so lacking the delicious bubbling lava goodness:In video, it really looked like a massive linear electric melting effect. Across a road.

content: Hawaii's Volcanoes National Park should be on the 'nerd' map of places to visit, I thought it was so interesting!Hope all involved are safe and not too much property damage.

content: https://twitter.com/allysonblairtv/status/992900521588539392?s=21This is one thing Australia lacks. Sure we have some interesting wildlife, but there's a boring lack of lava eating your driveway.Though I guess if the Hawaiian Hilina Slump (google it) gives way, we on the Oz East Coast might get an exciting tsunami consolation prize. If the greedy New Zealanders don't keep it all for themselves.

content: https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/chem/surface/level/overlay=so2smass/orthographic=-192.16,-2.05,408This is beautiful, interesting and useful. One of the pretty-graphics 'flowy lines' global weather sites, has an overlay of sulfur dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere. Presumably from satellite spectroscopy.Major SO2 sources are industrial and volcanic. I'd been seeing screen grabs of the SO2 plume coming from the new volcanic activity in Hawaii, and wondered what the imagery source was. Then recognized the 'Earth' menu from earth.nullschool.net, which I used to use a lot. Found the SO2 overlay option buried in a menu.

content: Earth.nullschool is a fantastic resource. I can get a far better idea of what the weather is going to do 5 days from now using that than I can from the BBC weather forecasts on the radio(MET office). With so many parameters to play with and data sets to display it can really help get a handle on the interactions you learned about at school. You can go out over the atlantic, raise the altitude from sea-surface to stratosphere and you can see where the jet-stream kicks in.... well, I thought it was cool.

content: You'll also likehttps://www.ventusky.com/?p=-37.6;148.9;5&l=rain-3hSimilar function, but imo has a better user interface. In particular a calendar and timeline. Very useful for looking a few days ahead. (Of course the weather details will be increasingly wrong, the further ahead you push it.)It's amazing how powerful graphics + js in browsers has become.
