Volcano Update
Volcanologists visited Fourpeaked Volcano on September 24 to install
new sensors. On September 25, the image below was captured
by Michael Poland. Fourpeaked, Cleveland, and Veniaminof are all
still at concern level yellow, considered worth watching.
I hadn’t been thinking about volcanoes until I got an email from NASA Science News with a link to this article about how and why arctic volcanoes have a greater effect on global weather than “normal” tropical volcanoes.
Weather here has been wet and windy. After the great typhoon
Xangsane tore up the Phillippines and Vietnam, it blew itself out over
the North Pacific and when all that warm moist air met our cooler
arctic air, it started dumping water on us. It hasn’t stopped yet.

Stay dry and don’t get blown up by the volcano.
How far from this volcano do you and your son live?
We could use some of that rain in Arkansas!! Plus it is still HOT here. I enjoyed the pics of the decaying mushrooms esp. the one with the cat in it. He is beautiful.
xangsane? heh. they should name one insanexang[a]
