From the explosion yesterday:

The photos are down at the site so I'll leave this link in case CENAPRED fixes it. It was a good B&W photo of a relatively small eruption--but a nice one! And you could see hot lava running down the slopes.

Popocam is obscured by smoke from Popocatepetl so it's obviously belching stuff out.

Will be interesting to see what it does today. Another couple of hours before daylight there. With Popo active again and the increase activity of earthquakes in Cali and Nevada, plus the earthquakes off shore of Cali, makes you wonder how far this will esculate.

Can I blame any of this on post Y2K problems?

Well, it is post-Y2k so it must be a post-Y2K problem!

Yes, Maggie, EQs and volcanoes are very active, seems like. Hope you have time in the next few days to keep us updated. You have a Sixth Sense about these things.

Anything new on the New Madrid?

Moderate explosion in volcano outside Mexico City

By Associated Press, 4/17/2001 00:48

MEXICO CITY (AP) Mexico's Popocatepetl Volcano had a moderate explosion Monday, spewing hot rocks up to 1¼ miles away and a column of ash that shot 2½ miles high.

The 40-second explosion was provoked by the collapse of a lava dome that had built up in the volcano's crater in recent weeks, according to an announcement from the National Center for Prevention of Disasters.

The center, which had predicted the explosion, said more activity was possible in the next few days from the 17,886-foot volcano, located about 40 miles south of Mexico City.

On Dec. 18, the volcano staged its most violent eruption in 1,200 years, spewing red-hot rock and convincing thousands who live at its base to flee to shelters set up in safe areas. The villagers were allowed to return on Dec. 27.

Residents are still barred from coming within seven miles of the crater.

Sorry about the way the liist came out. If you want to, just dellete and leave the URL up to the site.

Please give me info on how to make a hot link. I promise to put it on a post note on my computer, for future reference.

I am listening to Art Bell, Scallion is the guest and talking about a poll shift...interesting to listen to.

There was a 3+M EQ close to the South end of the Salton Sea lake (in Southern Cal.). I ask Frank about the possibility of the small swarm of EQs there, after the 3+M EQ, if they could be related to magma flow. Very interesting conversation.

This software won't put a page break at the end of a line unless there's a double carriage return. Um, I mean a double "enter." I'll go into the innards and fix it. I see CENAPRED has cut the link to the photo, too, will try to get the link for it.

Okay, wherever you see a [, put a <. Wherever you see a ], put a >.

Hotlink:

[a href=YOUR URL HERE]MAGGIE'S HOTLINK[/a]

You'll see MAGGIE'S HOTLINK in magic blue.

Photo:

[img src=YOUR URL HERE]

And you should see the photo. If not, you can go into the innards and fix whatever it was. Sometimes the software will pagebreak a photo URL or something and you have to go in and make it all one long line, then it will work.

Gonna fix those EQ reports now!

This is one of his post back to me, about my question on the swarm of EQs close to the Salto Sea. I couln't find the frist response about this subject. Also I am going to try for the first time a hot liink here. Thanks Old Git for the instructions for the hot link and picture.

Sygyzy Site Date: April 17, 2001 at 22:17:21 From: Frank Condon, Subject: Question For Frank Condon URL: Palmdale Bulge

HI Maggie: Actually, it's more like an iceberg than a ship, since the exposed half is miniscule compared to what is kept underground. One of my favorite books about the earth is titled, "Naked Earth: The New Geophysics." You'd be surprised at what's actually down there! Yes, those intrusions throughout the Eastern Sierra's are hot-spots where a cinder cone could pop up at anytime and that's why they monitor it very closely! Some areas of the Mojave have seen action as recent as several hundred years ago. Unconfirmed is a report from witnesses in San Bernardino of watching a column of black smoke coming from near the top of Mt. San Jacinto! But that was from a local newspaper story printed back in the 1890's. Well, I'm leaning towards calling the 34th parallel as being the most active line worldwide. Ancient plate boundaries which underlie the currently active plates of the world are most likely the culprit. That's possibly also where they got the idea for the "Palmdale Bulge" theory.

Earthquake Rocks Northern Colombia The Associated Press

BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) - A 5.2-magnitude earthquake swayed buildings and sent people running from their homes and offices in northern Colombia on Wednesday. There were no immediate reports of damage or injures.

The quake was centered outside Nechi, 260 miles north of the Colombian capital of Bogota, and began shortly after 10 a.m., the Colombian seismological center reported.

The temblor was felt throughout much of northern Colombia, the seismological center said, and frightened residents of Monteria and Sincelejo, cities near the epicenter.
