#Kīlauea Volcano continues to slowly build towards its next eruptive episode, although a short period of deflation over the weekend has delayed the expected onset high lava fountaining at the summit.

Periodic overflows continue at the #Kīlauea summit vents, as the ongoing eruption within Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park builds to the next episode of high lava fountaining at the caldera.
Episode 37 will most likely occur sometime between today and Tuesday, November 25.

![Comic. Someone is claiming to predict the exact date of a future earthquake. Should you listen? [flowchart: start] → NO (There are big earthquakes constantly, so if anyone ever *does* figure this out, it will be immediately obvious that their method works and then the world’s seismologists will not shut up about it. You won’t need this flowchart.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cz73r7iyiqn26upot4jtjdhk/bafkreic7wdqg4w6qfevbqzzq4esd6237pojsnpwsrbb7gaxsxobqaiwazm@jpeg)

NOAA cut funding to the Alaska Earthquake Center, directed by my friend Mike West. As a result, seismic monitoring by nine stations in Alaska tracking tsunami-causing earthquakes will go offline by the end of the month. This endangers people in Alaska, Hawaiʻi, and other parts of the Pacific.
This lab is key for tracking deadly waves. Its sensors are about to go offline.

If you are anywhere in the northern half of the continent, get outside and look up! Or better still, put your camera on a 10 second exposure and point it up.

Dodgers win Gm6, 3-1. There will be a 7th game. Yoshinobu Yamamoto went 6IP of 1-run ball. The BP held TOR’s offense to that single run. LA bats dropped a 3-piece in the 3rd, then disappeared. The pitching & defense were the MVPs of the game.
