and Volcano?

Over the past 2 days, Mt Redoubt, a 10,000 foot high volcano just over 100 miles from Anchorage, has seen a dramatic increase in seismic activity accompanied by observations of increased sulfur gas emissions. An overflight showed that no eruption was in progress, but the Alaska Volcano Observatory raised the Volcano Alert Level to "Advisory" which is colored orange, indicating an impending election (get it? fucking neocons.) although an eruption is not necessarily immenent. You can read the report and get further updates from the observatory.

I'm keeping a close eye on this. Be careful. But if you're close, sample me some lapilli and ash please.
