I hope she is not waking up again. Good 'heads up'!

And it does look like Galeras wants to stay in the news:

Colombia puts volcano on red alert after eruption
news.yahoo.com...

the columbian volcano galeras is about to blow, according to this link. Red allert has been issued.

Wow, and I was just talking about this one a few days ago,.
ever been there?
it is awesome to see the aftermath of such power

No, I have never been to a Volcano before . Hopefully someday soon I can visit Yellowstone as she is my obsession.

reply to post by Anmarie96

Take a road trip,.
Yellowstone is beautiful
St Helens is quite the sight,. like a bomb went off
I was out there a few years ago when it was pushin up magma.

Hope they were well prepared in Galeras. I have been to St. Helen's, Three Sisters and Yellowstone - all very amazing. I hope to return to Yellowstone again soon.

St. Helen's still trembling? Hope those in the path are alert.

How are the volcano's in iceland behaving?

You might say boringly, but then that is good!

Nothing out of the ordinary at present.

I have just received this from Putermans favorite people (just kidding)

Dear Distribution Members and INTLVRC Staff Members --

We have had our 52nd eruption of the year as follows:

PAGAN Mariana Is.
GALERAS Colombia (Re-eruption)


You can read all about it on our website at:

Is there a Web Cam there?

That Marianas Pagan eruption ties in nicely with the 7.2Mw quake to the west on the 13th August
This info is 10 days old by the look of it, is there anywhere else that has more recent stuff?

reply to post by muzzy


Not that I can find. We will have to wait until the USGS gives an update Friday - If they bring it up at all. I was doing research for the three sisters volcano in Oregon and found that while Pagan is in the High Watch List - the monitoring is lacking Here is where the full report can be downloaded. Yes, the report is old - but nothing has really changed. It pretty much stands at this area, where it did when the report came out.

Smithsonian has info but it is not really any more interesting.

That other site is just SO revolting. I hate RED backgrounds.

John Search is not jumping up and down about Pagan either.

What a lovely name for a volcano! Some interesting info on Wikipedia if a bit brief.

Apparently the Indonesian authorities have issued a "red alert" for the Mount Sinabung eruption today. However a few reports have categorised it as only a minor event, with just a bit of ash and smoke falling over the area.

Does anyone know if a "red alert" is standard for any eruption, or if it indicates a potential escalation in a volcanic event?

Thanks.

Boy, oh boy, a fine lot you volcano watchers are....geez??? Finally something does go off after 400 years, and y'all are nowhere to be found, much less watching.... dang, bunch of partiers......lol Well, anyhow...guess what dead volcano erupting.... now pay attention from now on....

reply to post by PuterMan


Puterman, please answer the posters question about "red alerts"... thank you

reply to post by freetree64


lolll you realise that the Sinabung volcano now erupting is only 80Km northwest of TOBA???????

my bet its related to it.........:-(

reply to post by ressiv


That's the sort of news that makes your cornflakes go down a bit hard. Particularly in light of the major rise in sea temperature off Toba that seems to have been killing off the corals, since the 2004 earthquake.

I checked out a couple of maps after reading your post, and discovered that Sinabung seems to be only 40km away from Toba at its closest point. (Toba itself being about 80 km long)

Jittery stuff.
