Eruption!
Submitted by Tiffany on Tue, 2008-07-15 23:23.

Okmok erupted this weekend on Umnak Island in the Aleutians. Being at the Alaska Volcano Observatory, I get to hear all about what's currently going on. We just had our weekly meeting. There was absolutely no real indication that this explosive eruption was about to occur. A slight increase in vt (volcanic tremor) began only a few hours prior to the beginning of the event. The plumes are massive! If you are interested in any more informatio, check out the avo page for Okmok. It's updated frequently, and the seismic data is updated frequently. There's a lot of interesting things to be found.
