What's being printed on the general election ballots that's prompted another challenge with the state supreme court? Plus, more vents are opening up inside Halema'uma'u Crater.

USGS tells us why that's happening ahead at 4:30.

Stay with us.

Dan's back with your full forecast in two minutes.

The location and movement of swarms of tremors indicate the movement of magma through the volcano.

Continuous records of seismic and tiltmeter, a device that measures ground tilting, data are maintained at US Geological Survey volcano observatories in Hawaii, Alaska, California, and the Cascades, where study of these records enables specialists to make short-range predictions of volcanic eruptions.

These warnings have been especially effective in Alaska, where the imminent eruption of a volcano requires the rerouting of international air traffic to enable airplanes to avoid volcanic clouds.

Since nineteen eighty-two, at least seven jumbo jets carrying more than fifteen hundred passengers have lost power in the air after flying into clouds of volcanic ash.

Predicting earthquakes.

The goal of earthquake prediction is to give warning of potentially damaging earthquakes early enough to allow appropriate response to the disaster, enabling people to minimize loss of life and property.

The US Geological Survey conducts and supports research on the likelihood of future earthquakes.

This research includes field, laboratory, and theoretical investigations of earthquake mechanisms and fault zones.

Who knew ice cold drinks could be so...

this is shown all along the valley of the yellowstone and more conspicuously in the valleys of the madison and gallatin which have carved immense canyons or gorges directly through two of the loftiest ranges of mountains in montana we believe that the course of these streams was marked out at or near the close of the cretaceous period and as the ranges of mountains were in process of elevation to their present height the erosion of the channels continued the details of the observations which contribute to form this opinion would occupy a chapter or two report of f b hayden Sixth Report U.S. Geological Survey of the Territories for 1872 Both of these authors, however, treated the problem of persistent rivers in an incidental manner, subordinating it to other larger topics.

Neither of them gave an elaborate or an emphatic statement to his theory, and neither of them invented a handy and suggested generic name for the kind of rivers that they explained.

The taking term antecedent was a forcible supplement to the explanation of the profound idea involved in Powell's report.

One year we had to change the route because I didn't think the first, there was a problem within the first half mile or so.

And I just contacted USGS and they were great with it.

So we just started another, maybe a mile and a half down the road and then extended it at the end.

So, and that's, that's a fabulous route and it's maybe not the most, like the highest number of species cause the habitat's a little less diverse, but, um, there's a few species that will breed in the New Jersey pine barrens that don't breed anywhere else at low elevation this far South.

The high water has already begun and is about six inches above normal at the tide gauge near the Golden Gate Bridge.

That's partially because of El Nino, and they will probably get larger in the winter as you get more of the storm surge effects.

To find out how cities are preparing, I checked in with officials across the region.

The National Park Service, the U.S.

Fish and Wildlife Service, and the U.S. Geological Survey.

Is that the Department of the Interior?

It is the Department of the Interior.

Tragically, this was not the case and Johnston perished in the eruption.

David A. Johnston was employed through the United States Geological Survey .

The last transmission from the Coldwater 2 station was from Johnston, who spoke into the microphone, Vancouver, Vancouver, this is it.

His remains were never found.
