luvlake Posted May 7, 2009 #176 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Isn't it kind of ironic that we are from Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas and we are worrying about a volcano. Tornados are the word of the day in the spring in these states.:eek: May we all be unaffected!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrp96 Posted May 7, 2009 #177 Share Posted May 7, 2009 We have never been to Alaska so I'm not familiar on this volcano eruption situation, we are sailing from Seattle to Alaska our ports are Juneau, Skagway and Ketchikan if the volcano were to erupt would that put a damper on our trip? We will be there last few days of May and the first week of June :confused: Thanks so much. Redoubt will not be an issue for you on a roundtrip Seattle cruise. You won't be going anywhere near Mt. Redoubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarTrkGeek Posted May 7, 2009 #178 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Redoubt will not be an issue for you on a roundtrip Seattle cruise. You won't be going anywhere near Mt. Redoubt. Since we stop in Seward and then head for Kodiak, we will actually be pretty close to Redoubt, although not as close as those in Homer, Whittier, or Anchorage.

mattwright Posted May 7, 2009 #179 Share Posted May 7, 2009 We are from Grand Prairie, TX. Looks like we have a lot of Texas folks on this board. Fort Worth cruiser, checking in. Heading to Alaska in less than a month. Absolutely cannot wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italy52 Posted May 7, 2009 #180 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Texans are supposed to be tough cowboys/cowgirls. Maybe we can all band together and wrap a rope around the mouth of the mountain to keep it from blowing so everyone can enjoy their cruise season. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel21 Posted May 7, 2009 #181 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Jim - Didn't you used to live in Las Vegas or am I mistaken? When did you move to McKinney? I moved to Frisco, TX about a year ago and now moving again - this time CA. I'm in Plano. I work for JCPenney Home Office. I actually live in Wylie.

I have heard that in Texas you are permitted to say anything you want about anyone as long as you finish it with "bless their little heart." Is that true? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenish Posted May 8, 2009 #189 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Dad passed away several years ago, but spent his last 5 years in DeSoto and Rowlett after Mom passed away. He reunited with an old flame from 1948 when they went to ACU and he re-married. A whole story in itself that got into People Magazine!

morebeaches Posted May 8, 2009 #191 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Back on topic...which side of the plane is best to view the ash, flying in to ANC? I would say the left side, as Redoubt is WSW of Anchorage, hopefully there wont be enogh ash to effect your flight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShibaInuMom Posted May 9, 2009 #193 Share Posted May 9, 2009 It looks like there is still snow and ice on the volcano. If it is so hot inside - why isn't that melted? Also, will it only blow ash or will there be lava? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, will it only blow ash or will there be lava? :confused: If it looks like there is a lot of snow and ice on Redoubt take a look at this picture (taken this morning) of Mt Augustine - smoking (look close) for years - just a few miles away from Redoubt. http://www.avo.alaska.edu/webcam/Augustine_-_island.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seismicity at the volcano remains low compared with earlier phases of the eruption. Rock falls and vigorous steaming continue from the lava dome and summit crater.
