Russia's Krasheninnikov volcano erupts for the first time in 600 years

1. WOW

Quite the visuals. We seem to have quite the number of volcanoes showing activity.

[malaise]

2. 600 years is a long time between eruptions

Now I have to investigate if there was ever a volcano in these parts.
Still an 8.8 quake could wake up most things

4. This is second Russian volcano to erupt since the 8.8 quake

First volcanic eruption was the Klyuchevskoy volcano several days ago:

Second one in just 4 days is the Krashevnnikov volcano reported in OP article that says:
"The eruption was accompanied by a 7.0-magnitude earthquake and prompted a tsunami warning for three areas of Kamchatka. The tsunami warning was later lifted by Russia’s Ministry for Emergency Services".

Hope no more repercussions in more populated areas around ring of fire

13. I can see Mt. St. Helens from my house. I live in the Portland, OR area near the Columbia River.

We know that we could have a 9.0 earthquake anytime, or it could be a hundred or more years from now. I also can see Mt. Adams to the NE in WA State and Mt. Hood to my east. We actually live on an extinct cinder cone or what they call a butte around here. I lived in Eastern Washington at the time Mt. St. Helens erupted. That was quite an experience to witness ash raining from the sky and nighttime at 3:30 in the afternoon. I try to remember the positive things about living here - the beauty, a "blue" state, and no hurricanes or tornadoes (except an occasional small one).

14. I used to live in Vancouver, WA

On a clear day, my folks could see Mt. St. Helens from their living room window, until the lot across the street finally got built on. I was north of Seattle when it went off, but I remember hearing a sound like somebody had hit the side of the house with a sledge hammer. Of course, later, when we turned on the news, we knew what had happened. My, how slowly news travelled in those days!

15. WA State revamped their Emergency Warning System after the eruption. We lived in Pullman (Washington State Univ.).

No one knew about the eruption in our area until mid-afternoon. We had the ash raining from the sky before it was reported on TV. I had a new baby, and my mother-in-law got stuck with us for a week. We were planning on going to the Renaissance Fair in Moscow, ID that day as the weather was beautiful. Then we saw these dark black "clouds" on the horizon, and I was angry at the weather guys for not predicting the bad weather. Turns out it was not rain clouds we were seeing. We lived in a duplex at that time, so my husband and the man from the family in the other duplex started washing off the ash on the cars, etc. Unfortunately, the ash turned to something like concrete. I was giving baby food jars of ash away to friends who lived out of the area. It was an incredible experience to live through.

10. Is Trump going to brag about making a deal with Putin to stop volcanoes in exchange for a golf course in Moscow?

[malaise]

11. This one is bigger than both of them

Neither has control although I wish the lava could engulf and melt both of them.

12. King Canute set his throne by the sea shore and commanded the incoming tide to halt and not to wet his feet and robes.

It didn't work and he backtracked to explain he was just trying to show that real kings have no real power over nature.

16. The volcano gods are finally angry that humans gave them such unpronouncable names. nt
