Hmm, so that’s what volcanic ash tastes like! March 29, 2009

Mt. Redoubt has been erupting for a while now and Anchorage just started getting ash this afternoon. At first I didn’t realize it, I was pushing bikes at work ad started getting this funky taste in my mouth and my nose was itching… then is dawned on me.
Mt. Redoubt:

Bretwood Higman (don’t know him) took this photo. Mt Redoubt is 103 miles south of town. Pretty good shot I think.

The roads were pretty empty driving home from work. Notice how gray the sky is. That is looking East south east.

And that’s looking East north east. If you look closely you can see the line between ash and blue sky.

My truck once I got home.

I imagine clean up is going to be a pain.

Cheers
