siftbotsays...Moving this video to eric3579's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
eric3579says...I'll have none of that *promote
Moving this video to eric3579's personal queue.
siftbotsays...Self promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued - promote requested by original submitter eric3579.
eric3579says...Seems like they are almost hovering. Must be a shit ton of wind.
newtboysays...Intense.
Some of those drops were maybe 75-100 yards upwind of the target and still drifted past the fire. In America, I think they cancel fire planes in high winds like these.
That long shot of the fire closing in on the radio shack looked like a pyroclastic flow, not a wildfire. Scary stuff.
*quality
siftbotsays...Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by newtboy.
BSRsays...Thanks newt. Just when I think I know everything, YOU send me googling.

Now to continue the volcanology lesson, lahar .
I'll save you the trip to Google, volcanic floods usually caused by glacial melt from the heat of eruptions, which makes a super abrasive slurry flood that's essentially wet concrete made of volcanic dust, pumice, and trees...and often people.
