Guest guest Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Well everyone, now I am not only grumpy about the cold, 18 degrees right now and falling but now have to get out the masks and extra hepa filters. Mt Redoubt volcano across the inlet in Lake Nationsl Park has increased sismic activity. The Alaska Volcano Observatory thinks an eruption is possible within days or weeks. On Tuesday there was a muddy discharge from the Drift River glacier directly below the summit crater. When it erupts it usually has a large explosion that shoots up an ash cloud 40,000 ft high. Last time it errupted air traffic was interrupted and it covered Anchorage with a thin layer of volcanic dust. The Red Cross advised Alaskans to assemble a disaster kit yesterday. Another cheery little note, I read in the Journal Chest that after Katrina, Homeland Security decided that in the event of a disaster, people who were elderly, had heart or lung disease or were on oxygen were to be triaged to the bottom of the list and no attempts were to be made to help them survive...well folks, I'm a gone goose! I have my generator to run my consentrator, c-pap and electric blanket at home and the alternator in the car...so long as there is gas... Cross your fingers that the wind is blowing the other way! Goodnight, will it be white snow or grey ash in the morning? Margaret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
