Like what Scooby Doo says, not good, I was in Anchorage when Mt. Spur erupted, we had 2 inches of ash all over the city, the ash clouds WILL destroy jet engines.

Not too far from that earthquake I didn’t feel yesterday morning.

The AVO redoubt page has forecasts for upcoming days of ash movement dependent on the altitude of the ash:

Redoubt is a bit further from Anchorage and thus less likely to put as much ash there as Spurr.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Spurr erupted again in the next couple of years - they had Spurr at Yellow for a long time a couple years ago, but no eruption. Still a decent amount of seismicity.
