It updates every now and then, there is 4 of them in different areas, the red is when it goes off scale, usually there is about a 3 minute lag of the event and the display, I have had it running on my puter for the last couple of months, it got quiet in the last week so I kinda ignored it.
For everyone I am about 140 miles NW of Redoubt just slightly south of Houston but north of Wasilla.
Thanks! Bookmarked!
Nothin showing on the Seattle/PNW stations. But unless they got a 6.0+, I doubt it would.
FYI here are the PNW stations:

Good morning, Eye of Unk....we’ve been covering everything at work here in Anchorage for about 6 weeks. We too got the go ahead to stop.
The first report after the blow said the ash cloud should arrive here about 2am....in 15 minutes or so. Reports since say possible bypass....hopefully we will hear something in the next half hour or so.
For your wife’s sake, I hope it stays west of all of us.
Off scale(high) is better than off scale(low)!
At least the seismometer is still there.
Which is better than it being blasted to kingdom come!
Its bigger than the 10:30pm eruption, I mean its BIG, i will post my observations as they happen.
Whats the weather up there? We gonna get any good visuals at daybreak?
If the cloud is at 50,000 feet plus, we should see something!
I should see something on the AVO hut cam in a few hours, try the link for the cam on the oil platform, its farther away but gives you an idea of the magnitude, they are all dark now, yesterday it was a gorgeous bright sunny day, almost made it up to 30 degrees.
Good morning Kathy! sorry i missed your post, i was checking the ash puff forecast, seismo and other news. I hope this doesn’t do a Krakatoa on us, and you know its weird i was in my hobby room around 10:30 and I was thinking of the movie Krakatoa East of Java, really I was, my intuition at work again I suppose.
The webicorder you see in post 24 is automatically refreshing itself, the time for Alaska is on the left, we are one hour earlier than pacific time.
Please do not post another, just the link, too many may cause Jims server to crash.
There was a discussion that Redoubt has a 50% factor of strength of a possible cataclysmic eruption such as Krakatoa, odds are very low of it happening but if it did it would destroy Anchorage.
If only....
That enormous fly has me really scared.
Well an erupting volcano that lets some of the pressure off is a small price to pay compared to a subduction event there.
We don’t need another 1964...
F&F just said there had been 4 eruptions.
So true, we have these minor earthquakes that would drive most people nuts all the time up here, I barely feel them unless they are over 5.0 anymore, just a whole lot of little safety valves popping off.
Now if Redoubt goes quiet again THEN I get anxious.
Oh Oh, FOX just announced the news of Redoubt, now half the world will be here posting.
A few years back, when the “shark fin” was building on Mt. St. Helens, some character decided to skirt security and went up there with a videocam. He got caught, and they showed some on the local news.
Continuous earthquakes. You would see the image steady and then shake violently. Guess he got knocked off his feet a couple times.
Boulders bigger than houses crashing down off the opposite side, destroying everything in their path.
Awesome is a word that gets used way too much these days, but it really was jaw dropping.
I’ve searched Youtube for it but never got a hit...
Truly impressive!!
Just a couple of months after i had first moved to Alaska I was living in Anchorage, this was 1992, Mt. Spurr erupted, its just across the Cook Inlet and you could see the huge mushroom shaped eruption as it went over 10 miles up, and headed straight for Anchorage, it only left about a third of an inch and it was large stuff almost the size of grape-nuts cereal, the city collected as much as they could and later used it in sidewalk concrete mix.
I’m not sure of where you are, I thought you were up in Fairbanks.
I just opened up my porch door and scooped up some snow, no ash either and I am almost the the Big Lake turnoff just east of the Parks highway or 11 miles north of Wasilla.
