Mt. Redoubt - volcano update


As of 4:15 p.m.


The Volcano Observatory says the mountain appears to be building another dome. Such domes tend to collapse, accompanied by explosive eruptions of smoke, steam, and ash.


Anchorage is downwind of Mt. Redoubt today, and is currently covered by a wide-spread area of haze from the nonstop volcanic activity.

Good luck dealing with the ashfall. Hopefully it will not set up in such a way as to bring all of the worst your way but will instead spray the dust around as the winds shift.

Thank you. We're still in the direct path of the winds. Fortunately, there haven't been any large eruptions today.
