I was scheduled to fly out to Tuluksak on Monday, but my flight was canceled due to the eruption of Mt. Redoubt. The mountain blew again this morning about 8:30 sending ash to the 30,000 foot level. Anchorage and the Valley may receive some ash fall, dependent upon the winds. The volcano presents little danger, but the ash is a health hazard and is problematic for airplane and auto engines, as it is highly abrasive. You can check out the volcano action by going to http://www.ktuu.com. The photos today are just for fun. Have a wonderful day! Update!!!! A second eruption has occured, and ash fall is expected on the Kenai Peninsula within a few hours. We will likely get a "dusting" late this afternoon. 65,ooo feet is approximately the same level as the Mt. St. Helen's eruption, so this is a big one.
