Redoubt Volcano has been erupting, off and on for several days. Each eruption sends up a mushroom cloud of ash, as high as 60,000 feet. I've been lucky only getting a slight trace of ash fall out, last night. This is a picture of Redpoll tracks as they disturbed the thin layer of ash in my yard. However, International Airport was shut down completly last night due to ash fall. If ash is sucked into a jet engine it can destroy it.
