    That must be the reason for the west coast tsunami warning this morning.

    Nah, I think that was for the 7.9 quake off Kodiak, AK.

    Ok, news [CBS] yacked about the warning but gave no reason for it. More worried about what some pop singer is doing as usual.

    Holy shit. There's something I've never thought/had to worry about while out skiing.

    In the first video, they show some dude that appears to be sitting on a chairlift while the volcano erupts nearby.

    That was the longest earthquake I've ever felt. Woke everybody up and just kept rocking for like a minute or more.

    Yikes! Usually volcanoes are monitored for seismic activity which can be a warning signal about a potential eruption. I don't know the history of this volcano but I would assume there is some sort of monitoring going on that should have triggered at least a ski area closure for a few days.
    I can't imagine being stranded on a chairlift like that while boulders are dropping from the sky around me.

    I doesn't say if this particular volcano is monitored but I would think that a volcano with a ski resort on it would be sort of high up on the list of those that should be monitored.

    Until now I never considered one of the benefits of wearing a helmet while skiing would be protection against volcanic ejecta!
