    Why isn't FEMA fixing this?!?!

    I'll tell you why! Sarah Palin. Obama is willing to blow up Alaska to spite Sarah Palin instead of just having FEMA go in and fix this thing.



    Rumbling Alaska Volcano Threatens Anchorage

    ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Mount Redoubt continues to rumble and simmer, prompting geologists to say this Alaska volcano could erupt "within days."

    Scientists from the Alaska Volcano Observatory have been monitoring activity round-the-clock since the weekend.

    If Mount Redoubt does erupt, it would be the first time this occurred in nearly 20 years. And if won't likely be pretty.

    History shows that volcanoes in Alaska, including Redoubt, typically erupt explosively, shooting ash almost eight miles high.

    This differs from volcanoes in Hawaii, which usually have slow rolling lava ooze out.

    The difference is gas trying to escape gets blocked, possibly by a lava dome or a viscous magma that increases the power from beneath, said observatory geologist Jennifer Adleman.

    "Its pressure keeps building and building...," she said.

    Depending on the winds, the ash plume could be pushed straight at Anchorage, the state's largest city. This has prompted state and city officials to post bulletins on how to deal with the ash.

    According to the U.S. Geological Survey, volcanic ash features small, jagged pieces of rock and glass.

    The last time this 10,197-foot peak blew was during a five-month stretch starting in December, 1989. It disrupted international air traffic and placed a layer of volcanic dust throughout the Anchorage area.

    Concerns over an eruption have state and city officials issuing warnings so area residents can deal with an ash storm.

    The mountain is about 100 miles southwest of Anchorage.

    Palin is having dinner with Hussein next week if I remember correctly....hopefully he gives the State 100 billion or so to help build a gasline down to Valdez with a spur off to Anchorage....

    Mt. Redoubt...ya..I hope the fucker blows...liven this place (southcentral AK) up a bit. I've been through many ash fallouts and they do suck...in 89 a KLM 747 that was climbing out to cross the pole flew through an ash cloud and all 4 engines shut down....they got them all started again but not before everyone had shit themselves.

    I don't recall that 1989 "eruption". It couldn't have been all that big a deal.

    I had myopia until last Dec. 11. Then I got LASIK.

    Do YOU recall this volcanic eruption in 1989?
