Residents in Alaska's largest city are bracing for a
looming volcano eruption that scientists have warned
could happen in a few weeks.
Mount Spurr, an 11,000-foot-tall volcano, sits just 81
miles from Anchorage, which is home to nearly 300,000
people.
When it blows, the event 'would be explosive,' Matt Haney,
scientist-in-charge at the AVO previously told DailyMail.com,
adding that it would spew multiple plumes of ash rising
as high as 50,000 feet into the air.
Each ash-producing explosive episode would last three to
four hours, resulting in Anchorage and other nearby
communities being engulfed in a giant cloud.
. . .
Now wait for Mt. Rainer ........
Anyway, takes just a few inches of ash/fumes to
wreck a city. People choke, roofs start to cave
in, vehicles stop, power grid goes ............
Activity all around the Pacific "ring of fire"
seems to have escalated sharply over the past
couple of years. Cal alone had four quakes
yesterday.
