The eruption seen from space...


Very cool night time eruption pictures...





Daytime...

In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

I disagree with his comment.  However... he was commenting on a "stimulus bill" that was supposed to be creating jobs.  This 140 mil will not do that.  I think it is probably a needed and good use of that relatively small sum of money.  It probably should not have been a part of the stimulus package...

QuoteOnly a fraction of the $140 million Jindal mentioned was actually being spent on volcano monitoring. The rest was going to other projects, including upgrades to the U.S. Geological Survey stream gauges in Louisiana and other states that will provide emergency planners with better real-time information about storm surge heights as hurricanes hit the coast.

Hasquet said only $7.5 million of the $140 million going to the Geological Survey will be spent on upgrading the equipment used to monitor Mount Redoubt and 32 other active volcanoes in Alaska.

Some pretty awesome photos to be sure. I just remember the one in Colombia that knocked us out of our beds at about 4 AM. The quake wasn't that strong but the way it moved was more of a tipping jolt. I've been through several big California "rollers" but the volcanic stuff was unique.

Those that don't want to watch these things ought to go to the USGS site on the AMBOY VOLCANIC CRATER which is about 40 miles north of my Desert Cabin in California. They say it hasn't moved in 10,000 years, yet local quakes are getting more intense. The damage area includes a large part of East suburban Los Angeles! It Amboy goes off, holy crap it could be horrible... the only bright spot being it would tend to tame the mountain lion problem!

Any takers on the crater under Orlando International Airport? How about the Wakulla Volcano near St. Marks? ...So I love this stuff, I'm just saying, one of these days, quake or volcano ---- Florida is going to get it big-time!
