Volcano shuts down flights across Northern Europe

A volcano eruption in Iceland has totally shut down 313 airports from Ireland to Bulgaria (including Stockholm, Oslo, Paris,London, and Frankfurt.  17,000 flights were canceled the first day, and over the last four days, 63,000 flights were canceled.  Mother nature has been showing us humans who is in control.  The last few years have been wrought with devastating hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, wild fires, record snowstorms, record heat waves, and now this.  We can't say we haven't been warned.

I don't let it change how I live my life...except for the fact that I've been reassessing my food storage and emergency preparedness plans.  I'd rather be prepared than be sorry.
