If you need a reminder on how fucking scary volcanoes can be, check out the explosion of Puyehue volcano in southern Chile. The volcano hadn’t erupted for half a century but blew up this past weekend, painting the sky red.

I mean seriously, this volcano looks unreal. 3,500 people were evacuated from the area and ash from the volcano even rained down in Argentina. [Denver Post via Mappeal]

If I saw this in a movie I’d think it’s too unrealistic. Well, my friend, this is real life.

The cloud of ash that was created. A lot more peaceful than the red fury.
