earthquake

I missed this yesterday, but a "light" earthquake hit Southcentral Alaska, including Anchorage yesterday. Before my interest in Alaska was piqued several years ago I had no idea Alaska had this sort of seismic and volcanic activity.

Mount Redoubt erupted very early this morning, and continued erupting five times during the early morning hours. Ash has now been detected as high as 60,000 feet above sea level, and the ashes have headed north and northeast, towards the towns of Willow and my former home, Talkeetna.
