Looking up Ft. Ghaut you can see the development of a delta that had formed as early as April '97, primarily from mudflows rather than pyroclastic flows. The delta has been expanded by pyroclastic flows occurring this week. To the left behind the rock sea wall is the Port building with the pier's entrance at the far left. The Port building has been damaged but as of last report, not destroyed.
