Strong signals over the last few hours on it's summit webicorder. If I remember correctly those marking indicate at some level magma is on the move.

Thanks, Izzy!
Perhaps the Megatons of CO2 wil break this cold spell

It will be daylight there shortly....hopefully not a normal cloudy day....lol!
Rather large tremor(relative)recorded on the RSO, it will be interesting to see if the REF will pick it up when it updates shortly.
Those Alaska Volcano Observatory webcam shots of Redoubt are amazing. Last year, I was watching it every day. Even if nothing exciting was happening as far as an eruption, the changes in light and weather were really interesting and beautiful. Alaska is just amazing— thank God!
I am in total agreement!
I used to be able to Mt Redoubt from my office window on clear days.
My view in Houston, Texas is not quite so pretty.
So is the warmth worth the difference?
That last quake was a 4.1 centered 60 miles sse of old harbor. The REF seems to be back on line but they scaled the webicorder reading way down to accommodate the recent activity.
Fox news just put out a timely piece on run-up tremors. I am convinced the RSO is showing this flow as we speak.

The job market is worth the change. Alaska is starting to hurt and going to get a lot worse.
It isn’t great hear but far better for what I do these days.
The engineering group I ran in Alaska is down to about 1/3 of the size when I left in 2007.
We also had some family reasons to return but we miss Alaska a lot. We haven’t had any bald eagles or moose in yard down here.
You are welcome to ask anything. But sadly I’m not a fisherman. I do have a few places in the greater Anchorage area that we consider worth visiting and may not be in all the tourist brouchers, depending on what you like.
We lived there for 4 years. We knew it was temporary but never sure how long. So we tried to travel around without spending an absolute fortune. Sadly, the more you learn, the list of places you want to see always grows faster than the places you’ve been. If we lived in Alaska for 4 decades, I suspect that wouldn’t change.
It is a beautiful place and well worth traveling off the beaten path. But be safe and be prepared. If you have the time to travel around a bit; the best investment months before you travel is to buy:
AVO raised alert level to yellow.
I started a thread on that here:

So which thread do we start panicking on? J/K
When Redoubt was stirring before I was watching the webicorder 24/7, if I remember right I’m like 130 miles NNE of it. I was living in Anchorage in 1992 when Mt. Spurr erupted, left a couple of inches of coarse ash everywhere.
If this is indeed an imminent eruption then I guess I should motor down to Walmart and join the frenzied mob buying air filters, yes the last time people did go nuts buying air filters.
I moved to northern Virginia from Texas last year. A couple of days ago I was babbling away on Facebook about an adult Bald Eagle being in the tree right behind my house, I was all kinds of excited. Well, a friend who still lives in TX wrote back to me and asked if I was blind, as apparently there are bald eagles all over the place in central TX...
