Pluto Flyby and Colima Eruption

Today on and off Earth there is much excitement; the New Horizons probe has just made it's closest approach to the dwarf planet Pluto and while it's going to be awhile before all the pictures come back the one's sent so far are amazing, really of an unknown world and its moons.  And closer to home, one country south of us, the volcano Colima just stirred up of late is in full blown eruption. Full blown eruption with no signs of slowing. Evacuations are limited so far but that is likely to expand and if this continues could change the climate world wide down the road.
Here in the rain forest, the cool and clouds continues with another chance of severe weather forecast for today. Streams in Va and WestVA are still out of their banks and trashing home - on flood plains…go figure!
That's a quick update for today, check NASA's sites for Pluto shots and Colima is all over the news. But, get out and check out your part of this planet, Today on Earth.
