Is that the New Carissa??

Thanks for the ping.

This wouldn't have happened if
they had voted for Dubya. ;o)

I've been watching her blow off
steam when the weather is clear.
If she blows up real good, I
hope we are in the middle of a
high pressure system. ;o)

Frankly, I had some doubts about this report. Almost every version of this report I found on Google was written by the same reporter but in the past hour it has appeared all over the world. Finding it hard to believe a lava dome thirty stories high is continuing to grow in the mountain.

In past two months even Drudge is reporting stories that do not appear to be credible or accurate: can anyone really believe over 150,000 Americans were making inquiries about moving to Canada one day after the election ???? !!!

Not me. I do not believe that assertion. Why report fake news? There is a guy who has a web site called "No More Fake News" but I find him hard to believe as well.

If you are upset by my simple post, read my tag line. I adopted it yesterday just for you.

Mt. Pelee, Martinique

In October of that year [1902 - After the cataclysmic eruption that killed 30,000 people], a lava dome began to rise out of the crater floor. It grew for a solid year into a gigantic shaft in the form of an obelisk. It has been described by many as the most spectacular lava dome produced in historic times. It was 350 to 500 feet thick at its base and it soared to over 1000 feet above the base of the crater floor. It sometimes rose at a remarkable rate, up to 50 ft/day. The huge spine of lava became known as the "Tower of Pelée." At night the sides of this magnificent monolith was marked by traces of red incandescent cracks from the still hot lava in its interior.

At its maximum size, the Tower of Pelée was twice the height of the Washington Monument and equal in volume to the Great Pyramid (Cheops) of Egypt. It finally became unstable and collapsed into a pile of rubble in March 1903, after 11 months of growth. No geologist had ever witnessed the emergence of such an object before.
