The Mt. Redoubt volcano has been fitted with two webcams, in expectation of a possible eruption. The Alaskan volcano last blew its stack in December 1989. Lately, rumbling and tremors have warned of a possible "event."
Despite expectations, however, it doesn't appear the Mt. Redoubt volcano webcams are feeding live video. The Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) site is very sparse anyway, as their server is very loaded.
Once again, although most think of California when they think of earthquakes (and volcanic activity is, of course, very related to plate tectonics and earthquakes), Alaska lies along the same plate seam that Seattle (which experienced a 4.6 magnitude quake Friday) does.
The 1964 Alaska earthquake, also known as the Great Alaska earthquake, began at 5:36 PM AST on Friday, March 27, 1964 and registered 8.4 on the Richter scale.
While the Mt. Redoubt volcano webcams do not appear to be feeding live information, there is another source: the tech-savvy folks at AVO are sending updates via Twitter.
