Alaska's Mount Redoubt Erupts Four Times



BREAKING NEWS — Alaska's Mt. Redoubt volcano erupted late Monday and early Tuesday in "four large explosions," sending an ash plume an estimated 9 miles into the air, the Alaska Volcano Observatory reported.

"The ash cloud went to 50,000 feet, and it's currently drifting toward the north, northeast," said Janet Schaefer, a geologist with the Alaska Volcano Observatory.

Geologists at the observatory say the volcano, located 100 miles southwest of Anchorage, erupted four times, from 10:30 p.m. to 1:40 a.m. local time.

"This is a fairly large eruption, close to the larger cities in Alaska," Geophysicist John Power said. He said nearby cities have not yet reported ash fall from the volcano, but noted that it's still early.

No doubt...Oooooobama is looking for a way to tax the volcano.   :whatever: :fuelfire:

Is there "cap and trade" on volcanoes?

I don't think so, now if Krakatoa erupts again, then maybe.  :hammer:

It won't be a very pretty sight if "son of krakatoa" erupts like it's father did in the late 1800s.

The sound Krakatoa made when it erupted was reportedly heard over 900 miles away and a tsunami raced all the way around the globe.

The ptarmigans have flown. This is first sign of The Day for bunnies. God is planning to unleash the plague on rabbits for violating God.
