Stromboli Volcano Update; Pyroclastic Flows Generated, Crater Collapses

On October 9th, a section of the summit crater wall of Mount Stromboli collapses, releasing an energetic pyroclastic flow. This flow moved at a speed of more than 30 miles per hour towards the coastline, before entering the sea and travelling a few dozen meters. Additionally, a moderate size lava flow is pouring out of the crater of Stromboli as of the making of this video. So, what is likely to happen next? How common or uncommon are eruptions like this at Mount Stromboli? This video will answer these two questions and discuss the ongoing eruption. I would like to give a special thanks to: Steven H, @volcanohull (Twitter), for granting me permission to use his video footage.
