Volcano!
We live on the side of this active volcano, about 15 miles downslope from this plume. (Notice the difference in the two pictures, taken about forty minutes apart - the latter one was at dusk, when the boiling lava, only 500 feet from the surface, illuminated the lower part of the plume.)
The lava is currently spilling into the ocean through a vent at sea level, another 15 miles southwest of our property, while the lava in the caldera is peculating just below the summit's surface. So what's there to worry about!?
