Our neighbor, Susan, works for Chevron which has a plant at Drift River near the volcano. She shared some photos with us. Oddly, we were looking at them Sunday night, just hours before the first eruption. The ash did not come to Anchorage but we could see it hovering below Sleeping Lady across the Cook Inlet.
UPDATE-APR 15
On March 28 just after Rob came home from work ash started falling, we could see it on the snow, small little gray specks. It was enough to cover the snow, roof, and decks but that was it, only a dusting. Still, to protect the wee ones, we took all precautions to keep the ash out, taping up the sides of windows and doors, etc. Church meetings were cancelled. Rob still had to work that day at the hospital but the girls and I had a nice Sunday at home. I wondered when I would dare go out with little Corinne and my asthma prone girls. On Monday I was relieved to see that it had snowed quite a bit, covering the ash, and freeing me from my home! We also wondered how it would work trying to sell our home during this time but, so far so good!
