VOLCANO!!

Hi there, especially you lower 48 people,

I know I should be putting up a post about getting into school, or that I'm going to Yakima, WA next year. But right now I'm too distracted to do much productive studying or write anything about it. So instead...

OUR VOLCANO REDOUBT ERUPTED!!! Here's the last three USGS releases
2009-03-22 22:35:33
No eruption has yet occurred, however at these heightened levels of seismicity, there could be a quick escalation to eruptive activity.

2009-03-22 23:02:22
An eruption of Mt. Redoubt began at approximately 22:38 AKDT, March 22, 2009 (0638 UTC). AVO is raising the aviation color code to Red and the alert level to Warning. Initial height of the eruption cloud is estimated at less than 20,000 ft above sea level at present. Further reports will be issued as more information becomes available.

2009-03-22 23:20:21
Current estimate for eruption cloud height are 50,000 ft above sea level.

Here's the website if you want to look:

I'll post more later, on the volcano and on school. Now it's back to the thesis (ick)
