Is it my imagination or does that hump/dome in the crater look bigger than in the hall of fame pictures?

And is it my imagination, or was there a large patch of snow on the right slope a day or two ago that isn’t there anymore?

I’m also seeing water in the front center creekbed that I don’t think was there before.

🆒

I can’t believe I’m sitting here looking at a mountain, albeit a volcanic one, on a webcam…

It looks like just steam at the moment.

All the activity has been happening while I’m at school! I mean, this steam stuff is nice and all, but I missed the cool ash clouds!

Did anyone save some volcano cam images during the events? I know the USGS said they’d have them up eventually, but patience is not one of my virtues. 😃

Apologies for no response of late. Kinda busy right now, even after hours. Got lotsa inside scoop info (the media usually finds out about 24-36 hours later anyway).

It’s a wild ride right now. More later tonight (west coast time).
