The cam is still up as of 11:59 AST, I am about 215 miles northeast of Augustine but I am more concerned there may be some danger for the town of Homer only 75 miles east across the Cook Inlet, its a lowlyinf fishing/tourist community.
If the volcano has a flank collapse it could generate a tsunami, it has before with a wave height of 30 feet it was stated somewhere in the history of eruptions I believe.
