Finally an "Orange" alert level that means something: "An erupting Mount Redoubt exploded again this morning at 4:31 a.m.--its fifth and strongest discharge yet," sending ash to 60,000 feet. Travelers may have some delays to look forward to; the Anchorage airport is open, but Alaska Air has canceled 19 flights. Meanwhile, the volcano is at "Red" alert, as more activity may be on the way.

Around The -Ists This Week


I wondered if it was Mount Redoubt! On the news this morning they were saying a volcano exploded but didn't say which one... being from Anchorage I immediately thought REDOUBT. I remember how bad it was after the 1989 erruption, can't even imagine if this is the worst yet.
