Redoubt Activity - Color Code RED : Alert Level WARNING


Local time: March 23, 2009 1505 AKDT (March 23, 2009 2305 UTC)



Current Status and Observations
Beginning last night (Sunday March 22, 2009) at approximately 22:38 AKDT, Redoubt Volcano produced a series of five explosive eruptions that each lasted from four to thirty minutes. The last one ended at 5:00 AM AKDT this morning (March 23). National Weather Service radar, pilot reports, and AVO analysis of satellite imagery suggest that these events produced ash clouds that reached 60,000 ft above sea level (asl), with the bulk of the ash volume between 25 - 30,000 ft asl. Traces of ash fall have been reported in Skwentna, Talkeetna, Wasilla, and Trapper Creek.

Huge forces of nature make me scared. You can't be sure what will happen next, but then I'm a bit of a pessimist.
