If you're bored with Mt. St. Helens you can stare at this till it erupts; for the last eruption of Augustine in 1986 there were 8 months of elevated seismicity, I believe, till it erupted. However, it's neighbor, Redoubt Volcano, erupted in 1989 after only 24 hours of increase earthquakes, so you never know.

You also have the very slim chance of seeing a tsunami on the webcam; the volcano is a small island in Cook Inlet, and it periodically has the summit collapse into the water; this apparently happened in the late 1800s and caused a local tsunami in Cook Inlet of still-debated height, fortunately it happened at low tide (and tides are extreme there.) There's no danger of an ocean-crossing tsunami however. But it is speculated that the lava domes at the summit are unstable and in a similar state prior to the last collapse.

So, who's gonna turn on the (big) spotlights when it's DARK, and the volcano decides to erupt?

Looks like they could use the heat.

Nice pic, I take mom and the RV to Homer at least once a year (stopping by the DQ in Soldotna)because the view is just so


breathtaking.

And I live here year-round.

Thanks! I've got the videocam at Mt. St. Helens bookmarked and now I have this one. If anything does happen maybe I'll be able to watch it as it happens.
