If you haven't downloaded it yet, I strongly recommend the free Google Earth program. It provides streaming satellite images of literally anywhere on Earth. Type in your address and get a satellite image of your car in your driveway. Have used it to look at all the mine areas of interest, and did an area look at the Sisters. One of the features lets you set GIS style layers and one of the attributes is volcanoes. earth.google.com

<What is particularly amusing is to read the musings of those “economists” who view the hurricane’s destruction as a boon to the US economy and therefore dollar positive.> May be they should burn down all of the new houses build during the last three years so that the home construction industry will keep on running, which is good for the economy. Whos is the loser in this picture? LOL

Is this for real this time? What is he saying? news.yahoo.com WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Average U.S. interest rates on 30-year mortgages were unchanged in the latest week, but mortgage finance company Freddie Mac said on Thursday that housing growth could slow in the near-term as the impact of Hurricane Katrina ripples throughout the industry. "We expect that near-term growth will now be a bit weaker than had been anticipated, due in very large part to the disruption in economic activity brought on by Katrina last week," Frank Nothaft, vice president and chief economist at Freddie Mac, said in a statement. "However, the federal monies that will flow into the damaged areas and the lower interest rates brought on by the disaster will stimulate economic growth next year, making up for the slowdown in the last part of this year," he said.
