That storm in the Baltic just curled up and died. No reaction from it
at all as far as I can see.

I wonder what happened.

Lots of small quakes in the Aleutians but no tornadoes. It has to be
volcanic.

Looks similar to a negative in the North Atlantic too. (Lots of cells
but high Lows and low Highs.)

And now it's all change, so something big must have transpired. If it
is the series of small quakes off the west of North America, then all
we think we know about seismoogy can go in the bin.

Between August 7 and August 8, 2008, three explosive eruptions rocked
the Kasatochi Volcano in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska.

In addition to sending a thick plume of ash at least 35,000 feet into
the atmosphere, the volcano released a large cloud of sulfur dioxide.
In the days that followed the eruption, the Ozone Monitoring
Instrument on NASA’s Aura satellite tracked a dense cloud that
contained about 1.5 million tons of sulfur dioxide.

It was one of the largest volcanic sulfur dioxide clouds scientists
have observed since Chile’s Hudson volcano erupted in August 1991.
