Valcano

THE ALASKA VOLCANO OBSERVATORY issued this statement shortly after 7 am Eastern this morning:
A high intensity burst of volcanic tremor occurred from about 2:44 through 2:50 AST (6:50 Eastern, 3:50 Pacific…Ed.) this morning at Redoubt. The tremor episode appears to have ended for now. There was no eruption associated with this tremor.AVO continues to observe potential activity with seismic, satellite and radar data. The volcano has not erupted.Clear weather views from the web camera show nothing but darkness so far this morning.The Aviation Color Code remains at ORANGE and the Volcano Alert Level remains at WATCH.

Reminder, due to their far-north location, sunrise in Alaska will not occur today until 9:27 am Alaska time. Add four hours for Eastern time zone. This explains the long period of darkness on their volcano webcams.
