Volcano Eruption????

Post by DuxDweller »

A friend just texted me from STT and she said that a volcano just erupted nearby and the skies are all cloudy?? Anyone know anything about that?

It's really not affecting us at all as the wind is not really in our direction. Sometimes it is really bad here but this eruption is only causing a very, very slight haze - I would hate to see your friends text when we have the Saraha dust or a bad eruption (lol) You can go to this North Shore webcam and you will see barely a difference from any other day :)

I'll take it to the snow we have up here! It's been a real cold, snowy winter in New England and we are READY for some STJ sun :-)

It's also snowing all over the deep south including Florida.

We told you this would happen if the Saints won the Superbowl!

This webcam has been stuck for the last several days. I have noticed a haze on the other webcams and wondered what it was.

Unstuck now. Innovative made some changes to the DSL modems. Cross your fingers that no more changes are made and mess up our view.

Poor Ben, he flew in to fix the Amorosa web cam and his plane was four hours late leaving because of the volcano.
