Most experts are still calling it a phreatic eruption with ash and steam, but there are a few who are just as confused. Survivors have stated that large chunks of rock pelted them and killed some of the others. Still, there wasn't much of a warning and that is why geologists are saying it was phreatic in nature. One of the images I tweeted earlier today shows the lodge beneath the peak covered with inches of ash. Not all of the bodies have been retrieved; I think that once that happens a bigger picture will emerge.

I'm confused: first, it looks a bunch like the video of the pyroclastic flow that killed the Krafts and Dr. Glick. And two, I thought that was a phreatic eruption the other day after initially believing it to be a pyroclastic flow, but this clearly shows a pyroclastic flow.--On Tue, Sep 30, 2014 at 5:25 PM, Lin Kerns linkerns@gmail.com [geology2] <geology2@yahoogroups.com> wrote:
