Ugh.

Who has two thumbs and hates volcanoes?




THIS GIRL!

After a very quiet couple of days and a nearly a full day of normal airport operations...

From the Alaska Volcano Obvservatory website..."There was a small explosion at Redout at 16:07 AKDT (4:07pm). There was a pilot report that put the ash cloud to 25,000 ft.

At this time, continuous low level emissions of steam, volcanic gases, and ash continue at Redoubt Volcano. Seismicity consists of volcanic tremor and occasional discrete earthquakes.

Satellite images from this morning show a broad layer of volcanic haze extending east of the volcano over the Kenai Peninsula, the Anchorage Bowl, and the Matanuska-Susitna Valley."

Flights are being methodically cancelled now.

DON'T give up yet!!!!! It's still three whole DAYS until Friday -- it could completely stop by then, right?

Well, it's only Tuesday. That gives the ash plenty of time to go bye-bye before Friday.
