MT. PURA ERUPTS, BIGGER AND BETTER!

It has happened. There have been numerous tremors and spot eruptions (where the side of the volcano is ruptured, and a usually non-violent stream of lava trickles out from the volcano), but Mt. Pura has finally erupted, for real.

Early reports are this is the biggest eruption in Mt. Pura's relatively short history, sending ash clouds many kilometres into the sky, which have settled over the states of Harrotshire, Barracod and even parts of Dorsin. Big flows of lava are consistently rolling down the sides of the volcano, with the north and western sides the most active (Which is great, as our camp is on the southern side).

Forest for many kilometres are being wiped out on each side of Mt. Pura are being wiped out, but no homes in the sparcely populated area will be directly affected by the eruption. Lava is flowing heavily into the ocean on the northside of the volcano and quickly cooling, turning into all sorts of igneous rock, obsidian being the most prevalent.

Meanwhile, the eggs resting in the lava have surely been released with the flow of molten rock. Witnesses (who were all scientists, of course) describe seeing colourful spherical objects, which 'can be nothing other than eggs,' almost swim out of the volcano during the early stages of the eruption. Thankfully, these eggs float, so it's impossible for them to become trapped under several layers of hardenered lava.

Search and rescue teams, along with nurterers and doctors, are on hold at the moment, waiting for the go ahead from scientists, who will decide when it is safe for the egg recovery to begin.
