Explodo-Vision

While you're waiting for tonight's rhetorical apocolypse, distract yourself with the likely to be merely entertaining impending eruption of Mt. St. Helens.

The inevitable Volcanocam.

A nice presentation of real time seismographic info that suggests an imminent explosion. Note the shallowness and location of the last few earthquakes.

Of course, if the Pacific Coast breaks off whole, a whimsy that might be forgiven with the seismological disco of the last few days, just think of the political opportunities.

Excellent links, thanks. First-rate volanic voyerism.

But do they pose the scientific stumper revealed in this volcanocam on White Island, NZ? (Hint: click on an image with decent light, and scan for anomalies in the lower half of the picture.)

Thar she fizzes! The webcam site is, predictably, almost impossible to get to, but there is unmistakeable steam a-brewing.
