I am so sick of the “exploding volcanos” meme… everywhere. My elder sis in the midwest text me she’s worried for me… she remembers Mt. St. Helens. I had to explain the difference to her all over. The only thing about to explode here is my head!
Today the volcano opened a 19th fissure, moving generally east along the flank, downslope. My SO2 masks will be delivered in today’s mail. This thing is venting SO2 like a fleet of jet engines. The last fissure is roaring like a 747 at takeoff thrust. And it’s not stopping.
