Nov. 24 (UPI) -- Mount Etna erupted for the second time in a week, sending showers of volcanic ash and rocks down onto towns in the southern Italian island of Sicily. Video footage above shows black "hail" covering cars, front porches and roads.

Etna also erupted last weekend, spouting fiery plumes of ash and lava that lit up the sky in a breathtaking show of color. But it also disrupted flights in and out of Catalina airport.

Luckily, Sunday's eruption did not prompt evacuations or major air traffic disruptions. One motorway was closed for half an hour.
