Observations at the Seismic Monitoring Station

I'm starting a new thread for seismic monitoring station observations since I am myself waiting for those last few volcano related POIs.

I wanted to consolidate a few things it looks like we learned in a previous thread:

You have to be online to see readings at the Seismic Monitoring Station and observe volcanic activity if it's happening.
The volcanic activity happens the same time for everyone. Speeding up the clock in your game -- ie., changing the number of real-time minutes in an eSail day -- will not make it happen any sooner.
You may see debris early in an eruption. However, you can get the "Rocks and Debris" POI only when you see boulder-size rocks landing near you. Others put it this way: "You'll know it when it happens."
A scatter graph assembled by another user indicates eruptions occur roughly every month or two. Anecdotal evidence suggests the kind of volcanic activity that lets you claim the POIs lasts for a day or two at least.

Obviously corrections and updates are welcome.

The volcano is starting to rumble, and the lava is flowing. I grabbed the lava POI. Although it's spitting stuff out, it's not enough for the "Rocks and Debris" POI yet.

I had just dropped the starboard jib sheet when the mountain first rumbled. I thought, "Wait a sec. The jib's furled and it's a light wind. There's no way the jib is making that much noise."

I came out of the marshes this morning; a glorious morning with pretty butterflies around the NRS pontoon. Yesterday and this morning I heard noises a bit like going aground or a strong wind but plenty of depth ... now realise it was the volcano rumbling. No change at SMS from yesterday.
