A Little Ash


Redoubt Eruption March 27 2009 from Bretwood Higman on Vimeo.









Press play on the video above and allow it to load for a minute or so, and then it will start on its own - it shows one of the eruptions in fast forward from across the inlet (weather is overcast, so quality isn't great, but you can see the constant flow of ash and the big eruption that sent ash our way).

Wind conditions caused us to get a trace amount of ash yesterday evening. Overnight surface winds were high and so most of it had disappeared by this morning. We did manage to collect a sample from a tarp on our back deck. Landon declared that he wants to be a scientist and so we let him look at a sample under an old microscope which I think was Uncle Andy's. No eruptions so far today!
