Rescues From San Antonio Flooding

[Yamkin]

Heavy Rain Turns Deadly In San Antonio, Texas

The wet weather plaguing many parts of the U.S. this holiday weekend has turned fatal in sodden San Antonio.

One person is dead, another is missing and nearly a hundred more have been rescued as heavy rain has pummeled the Texas city, causing flash flooding.

The majority of rescues were people trapped in their vehicles in low-lying areas of the city, San Antonio Fire Department spokesman Christian Bove told NBC News.

Bove confirmed one fatality thus far, a 29-year-old woman who was trapped in her vehicle and tried to escape the rising water by climbing onto the car's roof. She was washed away, and her body was found down the road against a fence.

A man who had been trapped in his vehicle is unaccounted for.

Weather Channel Meteorologist Nick Wiltgen said San Antonio received 12.16 inches of rain in the 24 hours ending at 11 a.m. Central Time on Saturday. That is just shy of the 24-hour record for the city of 13.35 inches in October 1998.

Eruption Of Alaska’s Pavlof Volcano Is Already Causing Disruptions

In Air Travel

Spewing ash as high as 22,000 feet (6,700 meters) into the air, Alaska’s most active volcano has been erupting for 10 days, causing cancellations in regional airline flights and depositing a coating of ash onto local communities, according to the Alaska Volcano Observatory. The lava from Pavlof’s 8,261 foot (2,518 meter) peak has also generated enormous steam clouds when it meets with snow atop the mountain.

PenAir, an Anchorage-based flight company, briefly called for a cessation of flights to a number of destinations until the ash dissipates, according to the carrier’s chief executive, Danny Seybert. Another Anchorage-based outfit, Ace Air Cargo, also cancelled flights and postponed others, a company official said.

Aside from hazards to aviation, the ash from the volcanic eruption poses health risks, according to geophysicist Rick Wessels of the U.S. Geological Survey. “It’s dangerous for the people downwind of it, because you don’t really want to breathe in that fine ash that long,” Wessels said, referring to the eruption occurring 590 miles (950 kilometers) southwest of Anchorage.

Pavlof is located near the western end of the Alaskan peninsula and is one of Alaska’s most active volcanoes, with its last eruption taking place in 2007. The Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) estimates it has flared up about two dozen times between 1901 and 2007. During the 2007 eruption, the volcano spewed mud flows and ash as high as 18,000 feet (5,486 meters) in the air.

In addition to Pavlof, Alaska’s Cleveland volcano, located in the Aleutian Islands, is also currently erupting. Characterized by discrete explosions, it has emitted small amounts of ash along with minor lava flows on the upper sides of the mountain. Some ash-belching explosions have reached heights of 35,000 feet (10, 668 meters).

It is the job of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and its partners to monitor and issue warnings about potential volcano activity. The monitoring of the Pavlof and Cleveland volcanoes is coordinated through the Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO). Monitors detected signs that Pavlof was getting ready to explode when a strong thermal signal was observed at its summit that coincided with increased seismic activity. Shortly afterwards, observers received indications that the mountain was spewing ash.

The Cleveland volcano signaled an eruption when explosions from its peak were pick up by an infrasound array and seismic instruments on Umnak Island some 80 miles (129 kilometers) to the east. Later, there were indications of hot emissions at the mountain’s peak and pressure sensors in the infrasound array recorded air waves created by volcanic explosions.

Alaska’s volcanoes make up about 31 percent of all active volcanoes in the United States, according to AVO. Although most are not situated close to populated areas, air travelers and freight worth millions of dollars fly over Alaskan volcanoes on a daily basis. The Anchorage International Airport is the fifth busiest air cargo center in the world, based on tonnage.

Significant Degassing - Nevado Del Ruiz Volcano, Colombia

The volcano remains restless and shows significant degassing activity. Elevated SO2 emission visible on the latest NOAA satellite data is probably the result of the recent magma intrusions. Seismic recordings show internal fluid movements, degassing tremor and occasional small quakes.

Active Ash Plumes - Paluweh Volcano, Off Flores Island, Indonesia

Ash plumes rising to 10,000 ft (3 km) altitude have been observed yesterday and today. The lava dome obviously continues to be active and regularly produces explosions and/or rock avalanches that cause ash plumes.

Explosive Ash Plume - Bagana Volcano, Bougainville Island, Papua New Guinea

An explosion produced an ash plume rising to 7,000 ft (2.1 km) altitude and drifting 20 nautical miles to the NW earlier today.

Spectacular Explosions - Stromboli Volcano, Eolian Islands, Italy

Activity continues at moderately elevated levels. Spectacular explosions especially from the NE crater can often be seen on the webcam as well.
