Mt. Fitzherbert
USGS Update 2005-Aug-01 09:10
Potential ash hazards: Wind forecasts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), coupled with eruption models, show that any ash clouds that rise above the crater rim today would drift northeastward.
Recent observations: Two more M=3 earthquakes occurred during the past 24 hours—about 6:45 p.m. last evening and 12:15 a.m. this morning. DomeCam pictures show that both were accompanied by rockfalls from the north end of the growing lava dome. The one last evening generated a diffuse ash plume that was visible from the metro area as it drifted over the crater rim.
