To Blow Or Not To Blow

The volcano is rumbling again. We'll be swaddling the computer equipment in trash bags tonight to protect them from ash fall... just in case.

There has been heightened activity over the past 2 days apparently. I don't know if the Alaska Volcanic Observatory (AVO) and/or the news media is afraid to cry wolf one more time for fear of being ignored, or what. But I've heard almost nothing about it over the weekend except for small little clips in the online newspaper. And if you go to AVO's website, it casually mentions the 40-50 seismic events (aka earthquakes) occurring ever hour in the vicinity of Mt. Redoubt. Hmmmmm.
