Alaska volcano 'more energetic,' scientists say

Mount Redoubt, the Alaskan volcano expected to erupt at any time, is getting a bit more edgy.
Dark areas show a mudflow from the peak of Mount Redoubt earlier this week.

Dark areas show a mudflow from the peak of Mount Redoubt earlier this week.

The Alaska Volcano Observatory said in a statement Friday "volcanic tremor" has increased in "amplitude."

The activity on the 10,197-foot peak is "more energetic than that of the previous several days. However, it is still less vigorous than that observed last weekend," the observatory said.

Peter Cervelli, a research geophysicist with the observatory, told CNN that "every indication is that we're heading toward an eruption."

Cervelli said scientists don't know exactly when it will happen, but if it does happen, it could be days or weeks -- or even hours.

"I would not be surprised to see it erupt at anytime," Cervelli said. "We're going to know it when we see it."

I thought this of interest to those that live in the potential radius of the area in that they may know about this if they already don't and so those who read this and live in the closer cities to Mt Redoubt will take into consideration this could be bigger than expected. I didn't see this article anywhere else and thought it could be used towards preparations if Mt Redoubt does blow.

Better safe than sorry.
I thought this something that should be noticed as breaking news.
