Eruptions Update - Summer Storm Edition (Pt. 2)

Just thought I would offer a second update - this week's unexpected vacation/evacuation to Massachusetts has flown by and now we're heading back to Ohio tomorrow. It appears that much of Granville has its power back, meaning the outage was roughly 6 days, but some houses near our house are still out, so we're not entirely sure what to expect. However, it does appear that the sweltering heat that has gripped Ohio for the past week (with temperatures over 100F/37C will break on Monday and get back down into the mid 80s F/ 20s C. This week ended up being a wash for me having focus enough to blog. Next week I will get back on schedule for at least the start of the week before I head off to California to zap some rocks with my summer research student at UC Davis. I wanted to thank all of you for keeping up such a lively discussion of the events at El Hierro and other spots this week - I'm glad to see how the community thrives even if I can't be blogging every day. In the mean time, check of the latest Global Volcanism Program's Weekly Volcanic Activity Report. We're looking forward to trying to get back to a normal schedule soon once we get back to Granville - the break up here in New England has been great, but it will be nice to put the uncertainty of the 2012 Derecho behind us.
