Record eruption at Kagoshima's Mt. Sakurajima, but no damage

 
City doesn't look too far from it.
 
I am not sure if the following information has been posted on this site prior to right now, possibly by myself and I am forgetting I did it --- that may read as so strange, but with age does come memory loss --- really, it does happen.

Anyway, step-by-step ---

First is this page that should be viewed for basic information: Japan Meteorological Agency | Volcanic Warnings

Then to receive more specific information there is this for a general planet-wide choice of regional maps and advisories: BoM-Darwin Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre

And for Japan we can go here: Tokyo VAAC | HOME

EDIT: By the way, that is a great picture up there, thomas!

Sakurajima eruption on November 12, 2019
The eruption and thunder are very beautiful
 
JMA maintained its highest alert level Monday after an explosive eruption at Sakurajima in which a large rock flew around 2.5 kilometres from a crater. The agency warned that pyroclastic flows could occur within a 2-km radius of two craters.




Sakurajima is one of the most active volcanoes in Japan: a large eruption in 1914 emitted enough lava to close the strait between the Sakurajima volcanic island in Kagoshima Bay and the Osumi Peninsula on Kyushu, the country's southwestern main island.
