Redoubt did not stray from its pattern of explosive eruptions producing >20,000 foot / 10,000 meter ash columns over the weekend. However, what did change was the wind, and because of that, Anchorage began to feel the effects of the volcano. Ash prompted the closure of Ted Stevens International Airport in Anchorage for 22 hours on Saturday and Sunday. The airports near Redoubt are still experiencing delays and closure due to ash – remember, remobilized ash can be a problem as well, but many have reopened after ash was cleaned from the runways and aircraft.

Meanwhile, Eruptions readers near the city reported a light dusting of ash and the smell of sulfur (thanks to Randy for the report). These conditions may return if the wind blows ash towards the city during eruptions in the coming weeks. Remember, ash is nothing to take lightly, so take precautions if ash does begin to fall.

As for the current activity at Redoubt, weather conditions have really permitted a good look at the volcano since Saturday. Pilots have reported a 15,000 foot / 5,000 meter steam plume, while AVO reports smaller explosions have occurred since 40,000 foot / 12,000 meter ash column eruption on Saturday evening. Most of these smaller events have produced ash columns less than 25,000 feet / 7,500 meters. The weather looks to be clearing up today, so AVO hopes to do an overflight of the volcano and area. The seismicity remains elevated, so expect more explosions of varying strengths over the next few weeks.

A special thanks to all the readers who kept everyone up to date with the goings-on at Redoubt over the weekend while I was away.

    I am and have never been a registered Democrat or Republican. I am happy to see that most of us apparently agree that this whole thing is nothing more than a money grab. How do they expect me to believe that they can run health care when they cannot even run a simple 1 Bil Cash for clunkers, let alone a Trillion dollar Health care program.

    I think from a management/labor stand point this new league could be a complete disaster. The NFL seems to have a pretty good power balance right now which allows them to provide a product that is good and appeals to people. If however you unbalance that by throwing in 8 desperate new owners who are willing to take losses for 5 years or so then labor ends up with a huge increase in power. That could completely undermine what is fundamentally not a stable system. People are fickle and if their teams appear greedy or out of reach of the casual fan they will move on.
