Well, late last night, about 10:30 or so, Mt. Redoubt erupted. There were a series of about 5 explosions between last night and this morning, and they are expected to continue for some time. Mt. Redoubt is located on the mainland of Alaska, about 250 miles north of Kodiak. Currently, according to the National Weather Service, the ash cloud is headed north/northeast, away from us at about 60,000 feet in elevation. Everything here on Kodiak is fine, other than the cancelled flights from Alaska Airlines. We will keep everybody posted on the status of the volcano's ash cloud, but at this point it is not projected to affect us at all.
