Mt. Redoubt- Eruption

Mary in Anchorage: Just before going to bed last night I saw a late news alert that Mt. Redoubt had erupted at 10:38 pm AK time. Kept an eye on things till about midnight and awoke to news that it had erupted 5 times overnight. The latest:
2009-03-23 07:46:00
The eruption of Redoubt volcano continues.Ash plumes generated by the explosive bursts so far have all drifted to the north.Ashfall advisories are available on the National Weather Service site http://pafc.arh.noaa.gov/volcano.php
Some ashfall north of Anchorage and they are expecting only a slight amount of ashfall here in Anchorage. However, wind conditions change constantly so we just need to keep watch. Kenai Peninsula and Seward may see more ash then Anchorage, so I will let Ginger update on that situation. No worries for now! Schools, work, etc are open.
