Volcanic Eruption Near Anchorage Alaska
March 24th, 2009 by BSali
CBC News reported that Mount Redoubt in Alaska erupted five times during the night of March 22–23. The eruptions sent an ash plume more than nine miles into the air, which is currently drifting northeast. The eruptions are the first since a series of eruptions in 1989–1990. The Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) issued a red alert for the region. A spokesperson for the AVO indicated that seismic activity at Mount Redoubt could continue for weeks or months. Alaska Airlines cancelled 19 flights in and out of the Anchorage International Airport because of the ash falling in the area.
