Damn. I've gotten the chance to fly over an active volcano once
before; I can't remember if it was Mt. Hood, or Mt. Saint Helens, but it looks like Helens decided to chuff a little bit yesterday, and I missed it. When
I say active, I'm decidedly not using proper vulcan terminology; I meant
that I flew pretty much right over it when it had been letting out an ash plume for several days or maybe even a couple of weeks straight.
Now I'm living within visual range of it and I didn't even notice enough to get outside and see the ash belch. Dammit. Anybody know of any good updating sites on stuff like this other than the craptastic wunderground.com notice
that I only see once in a blue moon (usually in the mornings when I'm getting my son ready for school)? I know that there seems to be a signficant userbase in the Cascadian area and the Ring of Fire in general, so I figured I'd ask here, where the recommendations are likely to be better thought out than dubiously ranked webhits.
Interesting how it happens as the massive flares impact the ionosphere, IMO, but I'm a crazy tinfoil hatter.
Best wishes, y'all.

Lord Time maintains the volcano. I think he uses it to thermally power
his bbs.

He hasnt updated the log in a while, I imagine he has been busy
shoveling lava or something, that stuff gets everywhere and its sticky!

Nice. I wonder if he can point me to where I could drop off an app for VolcanoKeeper. I've wanted that job since I was like 5!
Thanks, though, that's awesome, I'll check it out. :)
Turns out that the last one was just a result of the high winds getting under an ashflow somehow, though. :( Oh well, I'm sure I'll see it from ground level instead of 20-30k feet at some point while I'm here. :)
