There are a lot more at this time that are becoming more active. There are some that believe that this is a chain reaction that may be caused by the massive Sumatra-Andaman earthquake.

Pastor Roger,

Brother, I've spent considerable time in studying God's WORD the last few days, and I feel refreshed. I was just reflecting on nature being God's Creation and only the tiny hint that we have of HIS awesome might and power. All that mankind has seen put together in all history is nothing compared to what will be in moments or hours.

It will be simply a time of joy for all who love HIS appearing. I'm smiling and thinking about being caught up to meet the LORD in the air. I'm also giving thanks that my entire family will also be brought home to Heaven with the LORD. That time may be soon or even today.

I tremble to think about what those who remain will see, hear, feel, and experience. Those who don't love God will at least soon learn to fear HIM. I hope and pray that many of the lost seek HIM before it's too late. If they only knew - the world's greatest volcanic eruption in history is like the lighting of a single match in comparison to what will be. All of the wars in history put together will be nothing in comparison to what will be. Our all loving and Most Powerful GOD will pour out His wrath on this unrepentant earth.

1 Corinthians 1:18  For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

Proverbs 15:3  The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.

Romans 8:26-28  The Spirit also helpeth our infirmities; for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit Himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And He that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because He maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.

Jude 1:3  Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

Ephesians 1:12-14  That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

Love In Christ,
Tom

1 Thessalonians 2:2-4  But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention. For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile: But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.

Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

[Soldier4Christ]

Amen Brother. I love looking at these acts of "nature" as they remind me of just that. Yes, these things are infinitesimally small in comparison to the power of God and I am reminded of just that each time I see such things. It is a wonder of wonders and I too thank God for His wonderful mercies.

El Salvador volcano kills two, thousands flee
Sat Oct 1, 2005 11:35 PM ET

By Rene Tobar

PALO CAMPANA, El Salvador (Reuters) - El Salvador's largest volcano erupted for the first time in a century on Saturday, killing two people and forcing thousands to flee their homes.

The Ilamatepec volcano, also known as Santa Ana, hurled out hot rocks, ash and boiling water on Saturday morning and a massive plume of smoke rose more than 10 miles into the air.

Two people were killed under a landslide caused by the volcano's eruption in the small community of Palo Campana, near the crater, the government said.

A few homes were destroyed. "I have lost everything. I have no money, nothing, just my children and my husband," said 73-year-old Rosa Flores, whose small home was set ablaze by a red-hot rock as she made breakfast.

A 12-year-old boy, Fernando Gonzalez, was desperately looking for his parents. "I'm scared. I saw big stones fall and one had smoke coming from it."

El Salvador's government declared a red alert and evacuated more than 4,000 people by late afternoon with 3,000 more expected to be moved out.

"The important thing is to save people, that is the first phase of this emergency," President Tony Saca told reporters.

Ilamatepec is the largest of El Salvador's 23 volcanoes and stands 7,800 feet above sea level in a major coffee-growing area about 40 miles west of the capital.

Its last eruption was in 1904 but it has been increasingly active since last year.

Homes and vehicles were covered in a thick layer of ash, and some of the area's coffee plantations were damaged.

"Many trees have been burned, for sure," said Sergio Gil, who leads the Procafe coffee institute. "It is a delicate situation, the ashes have reached as far as Apaneca, about 25 kilometers (15 miles) from the crater."

The coffee-growing region around Ilamatepec accounts for a large chunk of El Salvador's coffee output.

The nearby city of Santa Ana escaped damage from the volcanic eruption.

Light earthquake hits near Steamboat Springs
   

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
October 1, 2005

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS - A light earthquake hit near Steamboat Springs late Friday, knocking things off shelves and skewing wall hangings but not causing any other damage, the U.S. Geological Survey said Saturday.

The earthquake, measuring 4.1 on the Richter scale, occurred at 11:57 p.m. about 14 miles northeast of Steamboat Springs. The Routt County sheriff's office didn't receive any reports of damage but dispatchers reported receiving up to 300 phone calls Friday and Saturday from people about the quake.

Respiratory therapist Jimmy Menk, who was working overnight at the Yampa Valley Medical Center, told Denver's KUSA-TV that it felt like a semitrailer had hit the building. He said the quake roused patients from their rooms as everyone tried to figure out what had happened.

The area usually experiences a couple of minor or light quakes, categories which range from 3.8 up to 4.9 magnitude, each year, said Waverly Person, a geophysicist with the USGS in Golden.

"We have no history of any large, destructive earthquakes in that area," he said.

The largest quake in Colorado's recorded history was a 6.8 temblor that hit west of Fort Collins in 1882.

Earthquake off PNG's south coast not expected to cause damage:

CANBERRA, Sept. 30 (Xinhuanet) -- The strong earthquake measuring 6.8 on the Richter scale recorded in the seas off the south coast of Papua New Guinea (PNG) earlier Friday is not expected to cause any damage or major wave, a spokesman of the Geophysical Observatory in Port Moresby said.

    The Geophysical Observatory said a few aftershocks were expected after the strong quake, of which epicenter was initially determined to be about 140 kilometers south of Rabaul on PNG's island of New Britain with a population of about 20,000, Australian Broadcasting Corporation radio reported.

    The quake comes three weeks after a 7.3 magnitude earthquake struck off the east coast of Papua New Guinea causing a "small tsunami" in Rabaul harbor.

    Rabaul was destroyed in the September 1994 eruption of Tuvurvurvolcano.

Strongest earthquake in 15 years hits Cascade

10:29 AM MDT on Friday, September 30, 2005

Associated Press

CASCADE -- The quake that rattled the area around Cascade in central Idaho was the strongest one there in at least 15 years .

The estimated 4.0 temblor Thursday was the largest thus far in a swarm of small quakes that began September 22nd and now number more than 1,000.

Most have been too small for people to feel. But seven so far have been over magnitude 3.

There have been no reports of injuries, but there has been an epidemic of knick-knacks falling from shelves and tipped coffee cups around the rural mountain community.

4.4-strong earthquake jolts Northern Islands

By John Ravelo
Reporter

Friday, September 30, 2005

A regional earthquake with a magnitude of 4.4 occurred in the Northern Islands, while Anatahan's volcano continued to show signs of reawakened activity.

In a joint report, the U.S. Geological Survey and the Emergency Management Office said the regional quake was located between Agrigan and Pagan. It occurred on Sept. 20, two days after a 4.7-intensity temblor occurred south-southwest of Guam.

The agencies said seismicity on Anatahan remained at low levels amounting to a few percent of peak levels recorded last June. They said the volcano had not emitted significant amount of ash.

The agencies maintained, though, that long-period earthquakes continued to occur, albeit sparsely. The volcanic earthquakes indicate magmatic movement that may lead to another eruption.

The agencies noted no volcanic activity on Anatahan beginning Sept. 3, after about eight months of continuous eruptive activity. The situation lasted only several days.

The volcanic activity displayed its strongest historical eruption last April 6, with the volcano spewing out ash to 50,000 feet. The USGS and the EMO estimated the volume of ash emissions in that eruption at about 50 million cubic meters.

The volcano first erupted on May 10, 2003 after centuries of dormancy, with ash plume rising to an altitude of over 30,000 feet and covering over 1 million square kilometers of airspace above the Pacific Ocean. That eruption, which ceased by mid-June that year, deposited about 10 million cubic meters of material over Anatahan island and the sea.

No one saw massive slide in vast state

Published: October 2, 2005

Jackie Caplan-Auerbach was checking earthquake activity around Alaska volcanoes from her Anchorage office on Sept. 14, a routine she performs every day at the Alaska Volcano Observatory, when she noticed a strange seismic signal on Mount Spurr.

A large shock to the Earth -- not as abrupt as an earthquake -- had happened somewhere in Alaska. When Caplan-Auerbach saw the odd signal was even stronger on Mount Wrangell, she suspected there was a great avalanche somewhere in the restless corner of Alaska where the Panhandle of Southeast meets the rest of the state.

There was. A good chunk of Mount Steller, a razorback 10,000-foot peak about 80 miles east of Cordova, had collapsed onto Bering Glacier. Rocks and ice from the mountain tumbled 8,000 vertical feet, spilling out in a chunky black delta that reached six miles from the mountain. Christian Huggel, a Swiss avalanche specialist who happened to be visiting the Alaska Volcano Observatory in Anchorage, estimated that the amount of rock and ice that shook loose was equal to a pile one mile long, one-third mile wide and 50 yards high.

Scientists at the Alaska Tsunami Warning Center in Palmer also noticed the avalanche when it happened. They called the Alaska Earthquake Information Center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks to confirm.

"It showed on all our instruments on mainland Alaska," Natalia Ruppert of the earthquake information center said, adding that the amplitude of the event was about equal to a magnitude 3.8 earthquake and more than 200 seismometers all over the state picked up its vibrations.

In her studies of Iliamna Volcano, Caplan-Auerbach has found that avalanches like the one on Mount Steller sometimes rumble one-half hour to two hours before they collapse, possibly due to the fracturing of ice at the base of the avalanche material. She just submitted a paper on the curious tendency of some avalanches to move before they collapse.

"I don't think anyone's ever seen avalanches that give warnings," she said.

One of the unique features about the giant avalanche of Sept. 14 on Mount Steller was that perhaps no one saw it or felt it. The nearest settlements, tens of miles away, were too far for people there to feel the rumbling.

"It shows how wonderful Alaska is," Caplan-Auerbach said. "Places like Iliamna could break in half and nobody would be killed."
