[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 256940, member: 1991"] I visualise the pillars of smoke by day and fire by night, like a volcano, or Aussie bushfires. You can see only smoke during the day (unless the fire is close - in which case, it's often too late to run) but at night the cloud of smoke is lit from below by the flames, it looks like flames climbing high into the sky. An erupting active volcano over the horizon would have looked like that, and could have been erupting for a long time. Before I turned off the computer last night Ichecked the satellite for the weather and was surprised to see it was raining right outside. I went out to have a look and although I couldn't feel any rain, there was clearly a lot of light misty rain around. The city lights were uplighting the tiny raindrops and there was an orange glow through the night, even though the city is a long way away from us. We have an oil refinery some way away, I think the flame from the refinery was uplighting the rain also. If I had been using it as a beacon, I would have known which way to go, for sure!
