A YouTube user who claimed to have discovered a volcanic eruption in the Mojave Desert over the weekend was mistaken, U.S. Geological Survey officials said Monday. A YouTube video posted Saturday evening displayed radar images and Google Earth maps as a narrator described what he believed to be evidence of a volcanic eruption over Pisgah Crater, a young volcanic cylinder cone between Barstow and Needles about 2.5 miles south of Interstate 40. “There was no indication of a volcanic eruption on that date and time, and nor is there one brewing today,” USGS spokeswoman Clarice Ransom said. Dr. John Eichelberger, program coordinator of volcano hazards for USGS, said the video didn’t appear to be a hoax, but rather a misinterpretation of the data. T.

Considering Dutchsinse didn't bother to take the time to learn that the location is on Marine Corps base tells me he doesn't put much time/effort into researching this event. All he did was see something on weather radar and he jumps to a conclusion, and makes a video about it.
He doesn't know anything about the wind/weather patterns of that area yet he feels he knows enough to come to a sound conclusion. This tells me he flies a little loose and fast with the facts.
All he had to do to learn about he Marine base was flip Google Maps from "Satellite" to "Map" mode, but he didn't even bother. Hard to take someone like that seriously, IMHO.edit on 26-7-2011 by Cryptonomicon because: (no reason given)
His knowledge in this area is pretty much spot on.
I don't know, but i don't think its that unusual. Just a bunch of crazy motivated Marines blowing stuff up
