Mt. Redoubt Continues to Erupt

Mt. Redoubt (~50 miles east of Kenai) has been erupting all week, but today as we were driving home we got the opportunity to see an eruption. However the girls were tired and we didn't have the camera so we went home without a picture. Two hours later Redoubt decided it had some more steam to blow off and erupted again. Rachel noticed it out our kitchen window and I had to take a few pictures. Check out Mt. Redoubts current activity and other pictures here.


View from our driveway looking toward Redoubt at 3:43pm (3:29pm eruption)



On Bridge Access Rd toward Kenai at approx 3:49pm

Ash cloud quickly moving northeast to North Kenai and Anchorage

21 minutes after our first picture taken and 35 minutes since the eruption the ash cloud has traveled over 50 miles across the Cook Inlet and over 48115 Grant Ave (our house).

No ash has fallen in our area as of yet!!


Since we haven't blogged in a while here is what Addisyn and Emree are looking like now.
