Mount Tacoma Seen by Hundreds After Cloud Cap Clears
In Tacoma on Sunday November 2 the Monarch of the Range Mount Tacoma briefly showed its peak as a thick vapor cap formed and then vanished by 4 80 p m. Dr Culver the local weather observer says the cap was misty vapor not smoke. Many observers noted the view while it lasted and argued the “smoke” sighting came from vapor blown by strong winds rather than crater emission. The week’s heavy rainstorm is linked to the wind and cloud behavior.
