Much ado about nothing

Today was the first clear day we have had in weeks and we had an excellent view of Mount Redoubt all the way home from church. It wasn't even poufing. At least Illiamna was venting out the side with a big puff of steam, but Redoubt just sat there looking like it always does.

The reports say that the earthquakes started up again this morning after quieting down on Friday night and that there is more melting and a bigger vent in the top of the mountain that is supposedly venting steam, but we couldn't see any sign of any action at all.

So, I'll guess we'll just sit around and wait and do something besides hit the refresh button on the avo sight (alaska volcano observatory).

The sunshine is beautiful. I wish we had had a camera in the car. It is one of the prettiest days we have had this winter.

Check the avo sight and there are some photos from the overflight yesterday that show the hole in the mountain top that the steam is coming out. I tried to put it on here, but failed, I'll try again later.
