Ahhh a small earthquake... might Redoubt burp again?


Alaska is known for it’s nice earthquakes and Volcanic eruptions.

We all know that Redoubt hasn’t gone down in magnitude as it is still at “orange”. But with this last earthquake right on the Denali Fault line, it makes me wonder if we are going to get the ash again?

Has anyone in Alaska, noticed that every time we have a small earthquake as of late, with Redoubt on the verge of burping, two or three days later, it does actually blow? Also the serendipitous way that as soon as we have one of these small earthquakes, the AVO downgrades the volcano to yellow.. and within a day, it blows?

Just an oddity I have noticed.

I am going to predict that Redoubt will burp in less then a week. If I am wrong.. so be it!


**BTW, I never felt this last one, guess I was lucky.**

    Yep, I noticed. We've had multiple quakes all in the same spot as yesterday morning's, in the last 24 hours.

    We've also had more quakes than usual in the last 4 days ... another eruption? Quite possible.
