Redoubt Update March 27th

Redoubt is still active and causing a minor stir in our area. Very little ash has fallen in Cooper Landing but other parts of the Kenai have been getting ash. The weather has been mostly cloudy so Carol and I have not tried to get a view yet, but we will be going to Soldotna tomorrow and may get pictures. Flights north were cancelled again. The wind has shifted a bit but has not gone too far east, yet. I believe that it is only a matter of time before the plume will hit Anchorage more directly and shut down the city drastically; vulcanologist agree that this could be an extended affair that could last months. The last eruption lasted over 4 months with periodic air travel shut-downs.
