It blew again...After months of wondering when it was going to blow, we seen it erupt a few days ago, after going from a code Red, back to a Code Orange, it was put back on as a Code Red, as it erupted two times this morning, the last one being at 9:24 am. This last eruption went 65,000 feet in the air, about 10,000 more than the highest one so far. We (Anchorage) were anticipating that it was coming our way and my office was preparing to shut down all electronic equipment until the dust had settled, this morning. We were told it would be coming in about 3-6 hours. Now we are being told that Anchorage will probably only receive a light dusting. Looks like the wind is taking it more in the direction along the other side of Cook Inlet towards the Mat-Su area. See the below link for the ADN Story just released.
This picture was forwarded to me this morning by some friends of a guy I work with.
As for the safety of me & my family, we are doing fine and do not expect anything huge other than a big pain in our rear to deal with.
So this is just another thing you can add to the list of why Alaska is considered an extreme place to live. Blizzards, Freezing water that can kill you in minutes, -40 degree weather in mild Anchorage, Earthquakes, Volcanos, Killer Bear & Moose. :)
