During such eruptions, changes in the level of activity can occur over days to months. The eruption could intensify suddenly or with little warning and produce explosions that cause hazardous conditions within several miles of the crater and farther downwind. Small lahars could suddenly descend the Toutle River if triggered by heavy rain or by interaction of hot rocks with snow and ice. These lahars pose a negligible hazard below the Sediment Retention Structure (SRS) but could pose a hazard along the river channel upstream. askCVO@usgs.gov (USGS Volcanoes Program) Met urn:oid:2.49.0.1.504.0.2011.2.5.2.57.59 Sat, 05 Feb 2011 02:57:59 +0000 https://cap-sources.s3.amazonaws.com/ma-dgm-en/2011-02-02-10-08-30.xml On Tuesday, Aug. 14, 2007 the National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning for south central San Bernardino county and western Riverside county and north central San Diego county in Southwest California. This warning includes, but is not limited to, the cities of East Hemet, Forest Falls, Idyllwild, Valle Vista, Cherry Valley, Beaumont and Banning. The warning is effective until 4:30 pm pdt. The watersheds recently burned by the Esperanza fire will be particularly susceptible to flash floods and debris flows during the rainstorms. Communities of Beaumont and Banning, located adjacent to the burned area, includeing Smith canyon and Potrero creek may be affected by these events. Roads that cross burned drainages are also susceptible to flash flooding and debris flows. These include, but are not limited to; Beaumont ave., Circle C rd., Castille Cyn rd., Highland Springs ave., Old Banning Idyllwild rd., shirleon dr., Poppet Flats rd., state Highway 243, Cryer drive and Mt. Edna rd. w-nws.webmaster@noaa.gov (NWS San Diego (Southwest California)) Met urn:oid:2.49.0.1.504.0.2011.2.2.10.8.30 Wed, 02 Feb 2011 10:08:30 +0000 https://cap-sources.s3.amazonaws.com/ma-dgm-en/2011-02-02-08-37-09.xml The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is bracing for the likely arrival of a major geomagnetic storm and possible auroral activity over the next few days. Space Weather sources at NOAA/NASA indicate that a series of major solar flares and a subsequent full-halo coronal mass ejection (CME) was observed at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on June 6. The location of the flare and direction of the CME make it a near certainty that the ejected material will reach the Earth within the next 24 hours. Thus, it should produce geomagnetic activity and a resulting aurora that may be visible at mid-latitudes, and could continue for several days. Geomagnetic storms occur when plasma, a hot ionized gas of charged particles produced by eruptions on the Sun, impacts the Earth's magnetic field causing it to fluctuate wildly. These fluctuations cause currents to flow in conductors on the ground and in space. Solar eruptions can produce billions of tons of plasma traveling at speeds in excess of a million miles an hour. geomag@usgs.gov (USGS Geomagnetism Program) Met urn:oid:2.49.0.1.504.0.2011.2.2.8.37.9 Wed, 02 Feb 2011 08:37:09 +0000
