I heard this too from my navy buddy. I will try to get a link, but he says that information is being filtered through Navy Communications, so it may take awhile, but it should hit the TV by 11 PM. tonight.
He said they were just manuvering to southern waters for strategic reasons. |

There´s NOBODY who gets out of here, alive.
And you´re right : every once in a while, a whole bunch leave at one time.

The eruption of 1883 of Krakatoa was one of the most significant in the history of volcanology.
It was the first to be studied in the modern era. The eruption produced global climate effects. Krakatau continues to be active in 2001.

It was said that Krakatoa was responsible for the ´Dark Ages´, and it was literally dark as the sky was full of soot for 300 yaers because of continuous eruptions timed just right apart.
Total grey skies and cold throughout Europe.

Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (See Anatahan home page)
Anatahan Volcano Update for January 8, 2005
Submitted Saturday, January 8, 2005 at 0630 local Anatahan time
The third historical eruption began at Anatahan on January 4 or more likely January 5. Occasional small long-period events were noted beginning early January 2. Harmonic tremor began at 0540 UT (1540 MI) January 4 and slowly increased in amplitude. Neither large events nor explosion signals are associated with the onset, and no signals on the microphones were observed through midday January 5. Guam tower confirmed that a low plume of thin ash and gas up to about 500 ft was visible at first light January 6 (2000 Jan 5 UT), but nothing was confirmable prior to that. The VAAC reported the plume at 0225 UT on January 6 as 60 km long, blowing westward, by 20 km wide. During the last 48 hours, the seismic signals have changed from harmonic tremor to a somewhat broader band tremor with frequent explosion signals recorded by the microphones several times per minute. A relatively full scale strombolian eruption is now underway and has been for the last 2 days. The eruption type and activity level are both very similar to the peak level of eruptive activity that was reached during the previous
eruption, during April-June 2004.
An overflight was accomplished yesterday by EMO personnel. They report ash rising apparently well above 5000 feet. A dome is visible in the crater, and bombs were observed rising to less than 2000 ft. We believe that an ash plume likely extends to 100 km or more downwind at this time.
Background: Anatahan had no historical eruptions prior to 2003. On May 10, 2003, after several hours of increasing seismicity, a phreatomagmatic eruption sent ash to over 30,000 ft and deposited about 10 million cubic meters of material over the island and sea. A very small craggy dome extruded during late May and was destroyed during explosions on June 13 and 14, after which the eruption essentially ceased. A second eruption began about April 9, 2004, after more than a week of increasing seismicity. The eruption consisted of passive extrusion during mid-April, then increased to strombolian explosions every minute or two on April 24. The strombolian explosions continued every minute or two through mid-July, often sending a thin plume of gas and ash upward a few thousand feet and 100 km downwind. The eruption essentially ended on July 26, though visitors to the island three months later could still see very small amounts of steam and ash rising 100-200 ft above the crater rim and could smell SO2 near the crater. |

Tsunami Reminds of 1883 Krakatoa Event
AFP
Jan. 7, 2005 — Horrifying television pictures alerted the world to last week´s earthquake and tsunami disaster, but over a century ago when an Indonesian volcano wreaked similar havoc, flaming sunsets and impressionist paintings did the job.
These are not the only differences, say scientists who, as the world takes stock of the terrible events of Dec. 26, have been dusting off ancient records to fathom how and why they occurred, and if there are any patterns.
On Aug. 26-27, 1883, the biggest natural phenomenon ever seen on earth took place when, after lying dormant for 300 years, Krakatoa burst to life, showering debris on what are now Indonesia´s Java and Sumatra islands.
The cacophony of the eruption reached Australia and territories located more than 4,000 kilometers (2,500 miles) away, while waves reaching up to 40 meters (130 feet) laid to waste nearby islands and were felt as far away as the English Channel.
Around 36,000 were killed by the disaster on the neighboring islands, a modest figure compared to the death toll of more than 94,000 on Sumatra alone from last week´s magnitude 9.0 quake and the waves that followed .
Atje Purbawinata, of the Directorate of Vulcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation in the Indonesian city of Bandung, is an expert on Krakatoa´s major eruption, of which he said many people on Java´s coast are still in awe.
"They remember that tsunami well," he said.
The two disasters, he said, share the same origin: the convergence of Indian and Asian tectonic plates, which grind together with unimaginable force deep under the ocean west of Sumatra, creating frequent seismic disturbances.
But as the source of the tsunamis from each event was different — volcanic eruption and earthquake — scientists say their characteristics were also not the same.
Initial data from the Dec. 26 tremor shows, according to scientists, that waves progressed at a speed of 600 to 800 kilometers per hour — the speed of a passenger jet — creating chaos as far away as Thailand and SriLanka.
The speeds were similar to those cause by the volcano blast, "but this time the waves were not as high," Purbawinata said. "And they did not reach all over the world."
Nor did last week´s earth quake liberate as "great a power" as Krakatoa, he said.
Stefano Gresta, an Italian vulcanologist, also a professor at the University of Catania in Sicily, said that even though modern measuring methods did not exist in 1883, there were still clear differences.
As far as the explosion of the Krakatoa is concerned, "a lot of the energy went into the atmosphere," he told AFP, whereas last week, "all the energy was transferred from the bottom of the sea to a column of water and therefore more water was given energy."
In other words, he explained, the Krakatoa tsunami was extremely large and travelled great distances, but carried less destructive power.
The tsunami of December 2004 will also not have the long-term effects of the Krakatoa´s apocalyptic explosion, which altered the climate of the whole planet.
The huge volume of dust it sent high into the stratosphere led to a series of astounding scarlet sunsets over a three-year period that were seen as far afield as Europe.
On Nov. 26, 1883, half a world away from Krakatoa, citizens of Paris marvelled as the sun sank below the horizon to leave a sky glowing as if lit up by a gigantic furnace. The incredible phenomenon was witnessed in regions in the world. Reports from the time say that Muslims in some Arab countries officially proclaimed the return of their Messiah.
According to one scientific study, the haunting red sky painted in "The Scream," the world-famous painting by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch stolen last August in Oslo, may be explained by the explosion of the Krakatoa volcano. |

This is absolute nonsense and the historical record shows it. Geeze... don´t any of you people have an education?? |
