In case you are wondering, probably not but just in case you are, why I have the Mt. Redoubt stories in my news headlines it's cause I feel a special kinship with that volcano.
I was in Anchorage for the 1989-90 eruptions of this particular mountain. We got a really good dump of ash when she blew back then. I had Mt Redoubt in my hair, on my clothes, and could feel the grit in my teeth. It covered my car and my yard. After Spring break-up the ash was still there.
By the way, pure white snow is beautiful and I love the way it glistens in the sunlight. Snow covered with volcanic ash is not a pretty site, just a very ugly grey.
Ten years in Anchorage and got dumped on by three different volcano eruptions. Where do I live now? Anyone ever heard of one called Mount St. Helens?

Oh your kidding me!!?? Jumped from one to the next!!
Sort of like moving from Alaska to Northern CA. Shake, rattle and roll.
St Helens is about a hundred miles away but if it erupts and the wind is blowing in the right direction . . .
Well, how often does she erupt??
After that horrible one, ya never hear anything about it!
Not all that often, I hope. She had a little burp a year or two ago. But it is a beautiful mountain.
Well thats good!!! I can't imagine living close to one. Maybe it is not as scary as I think it is.
Mt Redoubt is about 100 miles from Anchorage and St Helens is just over 100 from where we are now. The ash clouds can travel that distance and more. It's close enough for me.
