[loowit] The Dome, Reloaded

Dig, if you, will, this picture:

That's one of the latest images of Loowit taken from Johnston Ridge, natch, courtesy of the USFS.

A some months back, one person (I forget whom) stated that at the rate of growth (at the time about one dump-truck a minute of magma flowing in) that the Portland POV would see the big ol' glowing gopher poking its nose over the rim in about two years' time.

We're most of the way through the first year. Trace the plume down to the top of the dome. Looks like it's keeping pretty much on schedule.

I couldn't say it better.

I sincerely mean that.
