it would have been better if you taped this in the day

looks like a normal street with people walking as they normally would.

"Sand" usually has rounded or abraded edges, from erosion involved in it's wind or water transport. Volcanic "ash" can be very abrasive, with microscopically sharp edges and "vesicles" (small pits and voids).

Volcanic ash is very much like sand, yes. It's glassy. It's not like what we call "ash" meaning burnt wood and paper -- it's rock.

[FirelionGuate]

It's NOT ash, it's volcanic SAND.

[kavinorantes]

[RyanK733]

The ash will be similar to whats above the uk atm, its finer than nsand, but some parts are like huge clumps!
