Volcano on Alaskan Island Erupts
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (July 13) - A fishing vessel rescued 10 people after a volcano erupted, sending rocks and ash down on a cattle ranch on a remote island in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska.
The Tara Gaila picked up the people Saturday evening after receiving an urgent call from the Coast Guard. The fishing vessel brought them to Dutch Harbor about 65 miles away, where they were staying at a hotel on Sunday.
There were no reported injuries, said Coast Guard Petty Officer Levi Read.
Lonnie Kennedy, who lives on Umnak Island at the base of the 3,500-foot volcano with members of his family and a couple of ranch hands, said all seemed normal until late Saturday morning.
"We heard something that sounded like thunder and went outside and right away realized it wasn't thunder. It sounded like huge rocks rolling or something," he said. "I told everyone it sounds like the volcano is blowing up and we need a plan to get out of here."

This is but one more example of the recent volvanic activity going on around the planet these days. I just got off the phone with my brother Billy, who lives on the Big Island in Hawaii. He lives near the base of Kilauea Volcano which just had lava eruptions July 8, 2008. The lava there flows to the ocean.
Also, starting on July 3, 2008, Llaima Volcano in Cherquenco, Chile, one of South Americas most active volcanos, started erupting ash clouds and lava. This, comes on the heels of Chaiten Volcano which started erupting in May 2008. Chaiten has all but totally destroyed Chaiten, Chile and continues to erupt after thousands of years of dormancy.
Last but not least, Ijen Volcano, in Bondowoso, Indonesia started erupting on June 21, 2008.
Based on the pundits and believers of the "2012" prophecy, "increased volcanic activity will be a prelude to things to come".Bobby Sharpe's "Techertainment": "2012" The Movie, "2012" The Prophecy
