Hello James - The spiky lines that you see on the webicorders are known artifacts of electronic interference and our telemetry, and are not seismic signals. -Cheryl -------- James wrote: Hello, I've been studying your webicorder readings and noticed a pattern beginning to emerge. I had written before stating that the mountains talk to each other. A few months back I saw a news report that supported my hypothesis about this. A few years ago I sent a message to you about the way the volcanoes interact with one another and talk to each other. That message may have been dismissed and me as well, and probably considered as coming from a nut. Perhaps... Now, your recorders are indicating that the mountains are talking to each other again. It appears that there is some small but unusual spikes being picked up by all the recorders. It's my feeling that the volcanic circle of fire is poising to begin another phase of unrest and increased activity. It is also likely that one or more of our Alaskan volcanoes may enter into a rather active and violent eruptive stage and could possibly impact some of the more densely populated areas of our state. I will be studying the recordings carefully over the next few weeks to see how this bears out. I will also put something together for you to consider using some of your recordings. I devised a way to use your recordings so that they actually play like a movie. I don't know if you'll be interested or not, but I'll put it together anyway. When it's finished I'll find your mailing address and send my creation to you. When you receive it, study it carefully, watch the movement as the recordings play across your computer screen. You might find it interesting, or at the least, amusing. However, what I see are definite patterns that support my theory of how the mountains talk to one another.
