Volcano Eruption in the News
A photographer on a photo forum, mentioned to me last night that he "saw on the news that a volcano is erupting at present in Nicaragua, hope its not close to your location."
Well it turns out that it is pretty close at around 10 miles. It is easily viewable from Leon. I wasn't aware there were new explosions over the last couple of days. In the afternoon while having a snooze, Anne and I noticed a lot of uncharacteristic noise on our tin roof.
At one point I felt the thick concrete wall of our bedroom sound like it was hit with a sledge hammer. I wondered if it was an earthquake - - - and it appears that now I have checked news reports, that there have been several explosions and tremors at this time. I'll have to check to the north in the morning if I am able to - to see what activity is going on at the volcano.

This is a shot I took of San Cristobal Volcano a couple of weeks ago in a field at the north end of the city and below it, one taken a week ago from a rooftop in Leon when haze and clouds were heavy over the volcano:
