Notice really big Blast at 11:48 AST.
NOT my fault.
Hope they got pics of it.
The observers are scattered all over nearby.
Last image from one of the cams is found here:

BUMP, hoping somebody will offer a clue.
That look nasty!
Is that ash on the camera lens?
Yeah!
Time stamp says 11:33.
Big blast was 11:48.
I'd say the cam is gone.
The volcano continues to emit ash. The level of seismicity remains high. At 11:18 AST (20:18 UTC) a considerably stronger explosion occurred and lasted approximately 4 minutes. The NWS reports the height of the ash cloud at 25,000 ft at 11:21 AST (20:21 UTC) based on radar data.
It's 11:18AST. Looks kike it settled down again.
Thanks goodness it's pretty far from centers of population.
My problem is that I was at the AVO site 10 minutes ago before it really blew. I saw the volcano in the webcam standing tall in bright sunlight spewing ash.
Then the camera updated and it was like a rainy day with mud and ash splattered on the camera.
How can I find a progression of cam shots that will show you what I was looking at before the cam refreshed?
Thanks!
Yes.
PokeyJoe already posted the link to the AVO site, but other Augustine webcam links are here:

Looks like the one on Augustine Island is gone.
(was I the first to say it?)
Sorry; belay my last -- chart not updating. Sommat's strange.
Dunno, I don't think they have an open archive of cam shots.
I will check, but I do't think they have an archive open to public perusal yet.

ALASKA VOLCANO OBSERVATORY INFORMATION RELEASE Sunday, January 29, 2006 8:40 AM AKST (1740 UTC) AUGUSTINE VOLCANO (CAVW#1103-01-) 59.3633°N 153.4333°W, Summit Elevation 4134 ft (1260 m) Current Level of Concern Color Code: REDSince last night the volcano has been in a state of continuous eruption, accompanied by ash emission. The present eruption began yesterday afternoon at 14:30. Since 20:19 AKST January 28 (0519 January 29 UTC) the level of seismicity has been generally elevated, with large seismic signals occurring at intervals. Satellite imagery from this morning indicates a widespread thermal anomaly to the north of the summit that is likely the result of pyroclastic-flow deposits.
Ash emission from the volcano has been continuous and satellite and radar observations indicate an ash-rich plume drifting approximately west-southwest and then south (over Kodiak Island) at up to 14,000 feet above sea level. For current ash fall advisories and wind trajectories, please see the National Weather Service website: http://pafc.arh.noaa.gov/augustine.php.
11:18 AST My bad!
