Gator, sounds like you are in Anchorage. I think those spectacular clouds would be seen everywhere in the Kenai peninsula.
Close, I’m in Wasilla. The only thing I’ve seen is a brown haze in the sky the day we got the ash. If I was to see a big spectacular cloud as far away as I am it would be a very bad thing.
Just got an e-mail this morning from my mother who is on the lower Kenai Peninsula. The mountain has gone up again. They woke up to thunder and lightning and are getting ash as we speak.
