Alaska's Mt Redoubt erupted last night around midnight with four ash events. Anchorage International airport and Elmendorf AFB restricted operations.

I slept through the hole thing.

Sweet, I love a good eruption. Better go pop some popcorn. :lurk:

I wonder if the melted snow will cause a tsunami. More fresh water upsetting the ph balance of the oceans. The end is near :6:

I heard Al Bore is coming to condemn (or condom) the eruptions for spreading green house gases. I'm glad the airports are shut down.

Go figure they would put an oil storage tank farm at the base of an active volcano. If they can't remove the oil before the Drift River washes it away, it will all go into Cook inlet. Another Exxon Valdez X10. An attempt was made Saturday morning, but an eruption turned the tanker back before it reached the terminal. An areal survey of the river drainage nearly cost us a plane and crew on Tuesday.

What's a couple million gallons of oil in pristine water? It will go "away" in time. Who cares about a few birds and some fish. All this worry is created by the liberal media and tree huggers. Just watch Faux news and listen to Exxon Mobil, they speak the truth and have our best interests at heart. :6:

Hope all of the ash doesn't block Sarah's view of Russia.

An update to those of you who are into Geophysics, Redoubt has settled into its dome building thing. Kind of precarious at this point. She could go back to sleep or the dome could collapse and KABOOM! The tanks have been emptied of oil and refilled with sea water to keep them from floating away encase of a flood.
