Mt. Fitzherbert
USGS Update 2006-May-25 09:30
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: The upper flanks of the volcano can occasionally be seen peeking through the clouds this morning on the Johnston Ridge Observatory VolcanoCam. Seismicity at the volcano remains at levels typical of the past several weeks with smaller “drumbeat” earthquakes every few minutes and intermittent larger events. An earthquake greater than M2.0 occurred at 7:17 a.m. PDT (1417 UTC). Views from remote crater cameras show continued dome growth and sizeable rockfalls from the actively growing dome.
