      "smoke billowing into the sky after the eruption of the volcano Puyehue"

      This sounds like:

      (30) And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

          Aust, NZ flights resume as Chile volcano cloud rises

          A cloud of ash from an erupting volcano in Chile drifted higher over New Zealand and Australia on Monday, easing the threat to commercial aircraft, after scores of flights had been cancelled over the past two days, grounding thousands of travellers.

            My dad mentioned this morning, that a friend of his might not be able to fly out of Australia. I then asked why, and he said "the eruption of a volcano in Chile." Uh...then I get a disappointed look and another question "don't you watch the news?" What answer do you want?
            Praying for those in this area, just a sudden shock to me.

              LOL now you can tell him his friend should be able to travel out soon, since flights are to resume.

                this AP article is reporting that it was not the volcanic mountain itself, but from an 6x3 mile rift that has opened up several miles away.

                  ...6 miles long and 3 miles wide...
                  That's a huge rift that isn't going to fill in soon!
                  I wouldn't think this is common.

                      And there is the Volcano erupts in Eritrea after earthquakes

                      from the original article
                      The Dubbi Volcano is located in a tectonic triple junction known as the Danakil depression that spans parts of Eritrea and Ethiopia.

                      The Afar Depression (also called the Danakil Depression or the Afar Triangle) is a geological depression, includes Afar Triple Junction, near the Horn of Africa, also a part of the Great Rift Valley, where it overlaps Eritrea, the Afar Region of Ethiopia, and Djibouti.

                        From what would be 40-50 degree water, to 113 degree water takes quite a bit of heat I'd imagine. All I can say is wow!
                        I love the comment one guy made, in the comments section about the 4.3 million fish dying..."who counted them?"

                            The eruption of Nabro in Eritrea has been a bit of an enigma, mostly because the volcano is (a) so remote and (b) it's previous activity is mostly unknown. In fact, when the eruption was first identified by the Toulouse VAAC, it was mistakenly attributed to the nearby volcano Dubbi, mostly because Dubbi has had an historical eruption in 1861 while Nabro, well, it is not known when the caldera system had it's most recent eruption (likely in the last 11,0000 years is the best guess). This makes interpreting the current activity, and more importantly how the eruption will proceed, very difficult. We have been fortunate that the volcano has, for the most part, been visible on satellite images of the area just south of the Red Sea, so the light grey/tan plume was captured speeding across northern Africa. Beyond this, though, we didn't have a lot of information from the ground to understand what sort of eruption was occurring at Nabro.

                              First Footage Emerges Of Eritrean Volcanic Eruption
                              The first video footage emerged Wednesday of the eruption of the Nabro Volcano, located close to Eritrea’s border with Ethiopia in northeast Africa.
                              Eritrean TV (Eri.TV) today broadcast images of the volcano which erupted for the first time in its history on Sunday 12 June last. The volcano continued to erupt Wednesday sending ash northwestards toward Sudan.
