Dog Return; Update on Redoubt Volcano

Tanni and Evalina returned for breakfast at about 7AM. Tanni slept the rest of the day, with no apparent ill effects of his morning adventures through deep snow.

Update on Mt. Redoubt: (from the site)
Comparing the time frame of pre-eruptive activity in 1989-90 (the only other eruption for which seismic data were available) with the current unrest, we would expect such an eruption to begin within the next few days or weeks. It is likely that the onset of an explosive eruption would be preceded by a further increase in seismicity. An explosive eruption would be accompanied by a sharp increase in seismicity. Should earthquake activity or other monitoring data suggest that an eruption is expected within hours, or is underway, AVO would move Redoubt from its current Aviation Color Code ORANGE to RED, and Alert Level WATCH to WARNING.

This is one of the scenarios that could occur, not necessarily what will occur.
