Eruptions

Kasatochi ash causing airline cancellations

The current eruption at Kasatochi is causing a lot of flight cancellations for flights from Alaska to points in the continental US. The ash is swirling its way around the Aleutians along flight lanes (see above), with the ash drifting southeast over the Alaska Panhandle and could hamper air travel in Alaska and Canada for days according to the USGS (although Alaska Air says it might start flying again later today). As for the eruption itself, not much new news beyond the initial impression that the volcano went from quiet to explosively erupting to produce at 35,000 foot (~10,000 meter) ash column in a short period of time. The little bit of information I can glean from these articles mentions that activity at Kasatochi appeared to increase over the weekend (and that seismic activity increased and decreased over the weekend at one of the other erupting Aleutian volcanoes, Okmok).

Update 8/11/08 12:30PM PDT: Alaska Air has resumed its flights from Alaska.

    Definitely believe that which you said. Your favorite justification appeared to be on the net the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while people consider worries that they just don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks que es el acne

    I adore it when article writters have their own take on theme, I respect them all. How come the blog writter does not share and blog about last year’s incident?

    Thanks for sharing your ideas right here. The other issue is that each time a problem arises with a personal computer motherboard, people should not have some risk of repairing this themselves for if it is not done properly it can lead to irreparable damage to the complete laptop. It’s usually safe just to approach your dealer of the laptop with the repair of its motherboard. They will have technicians with an skills in dealing with pc motherboard troubles and can make right diagnosis and perform repairs.

    Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very difficult to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability and visual appeal. I must say you’ve done a fantastic job with this. Also, the blog loads extremely fast for me on Chrome. Superb Blog!
