Yawn, was that another eruption

Miyakonojo, Kyusyu, 2009.12.30
I was woken this morning at 07:30 by another volcanic boom that rattled the house.
No one else seemed impressed. But then again, not everybody even noticed the soundwave from yesterday's eruption, so I shouldn't be surprised.
But I'm impressed with that volcano. As shown in this map, the mountain (which forms a round island in the lower left of the map) is 35km from Miyakonojo and 65km from Nichinan. That strikes me as a goodly distance for a soundwave to travel and still be strong enough to shake houses.
No matter. We headed for the home of Mari's uncle and (Danish!) aunt and made mochi.
