Ash fall?
nope...none yet.
skies are cloudy,winds are blowing north-northeast so my little section of Alaska is currently spared.
However the power did go out for about an hour..No one knows if it was related to the volcano.
I'm about 53 miles away from the volcano as the crow flies or ash falls..
;)

Alaskan volcano eruption finally...or it's been hot n cold..yes then no..
Thanks to Katy Perry for those lyrics that stick in your head just about forever..
Anywho..
According to Alaska Volcano Observatory and the local news..Mt.Redoubt finally erupted.
Ash and gas were shot out to 50,000feet..but the volcano sits at 10,000 feet high.
No ash here yet..that could change by the time the sun comes up.
Of course people being idiots..not knowing that weather webcams pointed at volcanoes generally don't give good pictures when it's PITCH BLACK outside at 3am Alaskan Standard Time.
Pictures when available.
funny..wikipedia says the volcano is actively erupting.
"It is in full eruption," said Matthew Haney, a research geophysicist with the Alaska Volcano Observatory.
"Mount Redoubt, which is some 170 kilometres from Anchorage, rises 3,108 metres above the Kenai Peninsula. About 50,000 people live on the peninsula within 80 kilometres of the mountain and it is one of the most densely populated areas of the state."

Like the Katy Perry song...Hot N Cold

Redoubt Volcano continues to be in a state of unrest.
Seismic activity remains elevated and consists of relatively continuous tremor that fluctuates gradually.
Nothing has been observed in clear web camera views today. The web camera is now dark for the night.
The volcano has not erupted and AVO continues to watch the volcano 24/7."
Nothing happening.

update
so the volcano has not erupted yet..
Certain items are a bit hard to find "..those will come in next week" which usually generates the response "..probably the day after the volcano erupts" and there is usually smiling or grinning.
Supplies? I'm good.
My sister? She's good.
My dad? he'll probably come over here..or I'll rush over there and help him attempt to cover his 1970s Kenworth. (it's his baby)..throw a tarp over the Jeep,and beat feet back to the house.
A lot of Alaskans lived through the 1989-1990 eruption of Mt.Redoubt..for them it's just get a few supplies and resume life as usual..with the accelerated response of getting home in case of an eruption.
Covering up all these LCD monitors and computers is going to be a bit time consuming..
I'd kill for a Panasonic Toughbook...mil-spec laptop. water,dust and drop resistant (hard drive is shock mounted)
Couldn't find a new air filter for the van. (why a van? one might think after coming upon this blog)..quite simple really.
My brother is in a wheelchair..hence the van.
A couple of other things I should look into covering..the entertainment center,the wireless router,the DSL modem,fax machine.
Want to check out a good site about the Volcano?

In other news.
Got the AC Adapter for my toshiba laptop.Got my saitek x52 flight controllers (throttle and joystick)..now flying in Microsoft Flight Simulator X is a breeze.
Been playing COD4 for the PC,online. I've unlocked the 4xACOG scope for the M60 LMG..
On the 360 and PC version,I'm deadly with a ACOG'ed M60.belt-fed sniper rifle kind of.
Gotta look at paying some credit cards for Feburary.
Have a good one.
