mungkin boleh kita menyebutnya sebagai "musibah", jika kita ingin.
sekali imbas, foto di atas itu kelihatan cantik juga. kelihatan seperti kesan letupan nuklear (mushroom coud of nuclear blast). Oppss! bukan aku bermaksud untuk bergembira dengan kesusahan orang lain, sekadar pandangan dari segi artistik dan geometri.
ajib sungguh ! bagaimanakah rupa (cendawan ) tersebut Allah Taala hasilkan, sekalipun ia bukanlah letupan atom.
sebenarnya bukan suatu masalah untuk Allah Taala hasilkan kejadian yang sedemikan, memadailah bagi Allah Taala berkata "jadi", maka terjadilah sesuatu itu.
tidak bergerak suatu zarrah, melainkan dengan izin dan bantuan daripada Allah Taala, begitu juga tidak berlaku sebarang musibah melainkan dengan ketentuan daripada Allah Taala.
apa-apapun yang berlaku, hendaklah diingat bahawa sifat Tuhan itu ialah Maha Adil. apakah hikmah di sebalik bencana ini, aku pun tidak mengetahuinya. bagi kita yang di dalam keamanan, hendaklah bersyukur dan bersimpati terhadap mereka yang ditimpa kesusahan.
Europe: Update: Volcanic ash could disrupt European airports
22-May-2011 03:48:10 PM (GMT) PARIS -- Ash from an erupting Icelandic volcano could reach northern Scotland by Tuesday and parts of Britain, France and Spain by Thursday or Friday if the eruption continues at the same intensity, airlines were warned on Sunday.

Iceland: Airspace closed because of volcano eruption
22-May-2011 07:54:45 AM (GMT) REYKJAVIK, May 22, 2011 (AFP) - Iceland's airspace temporarily closed down early Sunday because of a violent eruption of the country's most active volcano, the airport administration Isavia said.
"The status right now is that Keflavik airport, our biggest international airport, is closing. The airspace is closing," Isavia spokeswoman Hjordis Gudmundsdottir told AFP.
The airspace closure, she said, "affects pretty much all of Iceland right now, at least for the next hours. ... Flights to and from Iceland are shutting down."
The decision came after Grimsvoetn, Iceland's most active volcano located at the heart of its biggest glacier Vatnajoekull, began erupting late Saturday, sending a plume of smoke and ash as high as 20 kilometres (12 miles) into the sky.
Winds remained fairly calm Sunday, appearing to send the ash cloud north and northeast, potentially threatening flights routed to the north of Iceland, Gudmundsdottir said.
She said a new update on the situation was set for 1200 GMT.
Saturday's eruption began just over a year after the nearby Eyjafjoell volcano erupted, shutting down large swathes of European airspace for almost a month amid fears the volcanic ash could wreak havoc on aircraft engines.
Fiji: Update: Weather alert issued as more resorts report damage from huge waves
20-May-2011 01:16:18 PM (GMT) From media reports: Stuff.co.nz reported on Friday that the Fiji Disaster Management Center has warned of damaging waves and swells for Yasawa and Mamanuca, Southwest Vitilevu, Kadavu Passage, Southern Koro Sea and Southern Lau Waters. Huge waves are forecast to hit at 9:00 pm, local time. Flash flooding of low-lying areas is possible.
This alert follows a previous emergency notice issued on Friday that large waves triggered by a slow moving trough of low pressure have slammed Fiji's popular Coral Coast tourist area.
No injuries have been reported. However, several hotels have been affected by the waves, the news source indicated.
Hotels that have been affected included the Shangri La's Fijian Resort, where water went into 30 rooms, 10 of which were occupied by tourists. Three beachside villas at the Naviti Resort and Spa have been flooded. At the Tambua Sands in Namada, Sigatoka, eight guests were moved to new accommodations after water entered four beach cabins. Water also entered some rooms at the Fiji Hideaway Resort in Tagaqe.
The cost of the damage was not yet known. Motorists in the area have been warned to drive with caution, a police spokesperson said in a statement. "We are awaiting further reports from the weather station and our man on the ground," the spokesperson added.
The high waves have also reportedly damaged seawalls near some resorts.
The Fiji Meteorological Services has forecast rain and squally thunderstorms across Eastern Viti Levu, Vanua Levu, Taveuni, Lau and Lomaiviti Group and nearby smaller islands.

How Much Longer Will the Eyjafjallajokull Volcanic Eruption Last?

Since the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajokull began exploding on March 20, the eruption has cycled from low rumblings to economy-altering detonations and then back to a gentle trickle of magma. Unlike most volcanoes, Eyjafjallajokull erupts at varying speeds and strengths. Each burst can be prolonged for years, and making predictions about future behavior is nearly impossible, scientists say.
To predict how long a volcanic eruption will last, geologists look to previous eruptions, said William Burton, the associate program coordinator of the United States Geological Survey’s volcano hazards program. Volcanoes draw from a finite reservoir of magma, and scientists can estimate the volume of that magma by observing only a few eruptions.
Judging from Eyjafjallajokull’s previous eruptions, this current round of explosions may take a while to die down, Burton told Life’s Little Mysteries. Eyjafjallajokull has a history of long eruptions, and during its last eruption in 1821, it cycled between ejecting ash and drooling magma for more than a year. Because of Iceland’s location, on a mid-ocean ridge, the many chambers feeding into the volcano could have vast stores of magma capable of feeding an eruption for many months, Burton said.
“Hawaii's been erupting for 23 year years, and it’s a similar kind of volcano,” Burton said. “No one really knows how much longer this will last."
The Eyjafjallajokull eruption probably won't last more than one year, but is likely to last longer than six months, Burton said.
Unlike most volcanoes, which access only a single magma reservoir, Eyjafjallajokull connects to numerous underground magma wells, said Freysteinn Sigmundsson, a geophysicist at the University of Iceland. Because geologists don’t know exactly how many magma wells are feeding Eyjafjallajokull’s eruption, they cannot predict the length of eruptions with a high degree of accuracy, Sigmundsson said.
“For most volcanoes, they have a single magma chamber that just deflates. This volcano is more complicated,” Sigmundsson told Life’s Little Mysteries. “We're seeing magma transfer from other chambers, and we don't know how large the magma reservoir is. We cannot estimate how much longer it will last.”
