I was gonna drive up to Spirit Lake but traffic is probably insane up there.

Looks like it has started again but still too cloudy to see it from here.

That damn Dan

It's about 80-90 miles south by southeast of us. The winds aloft are NW and should stay there through the week. That direction will take the ash across the Columbia River Gorge into central Oregon

I lived in Yakima, 60 miles east of St Helens,in 1980. It was like the end of the world. Turned the sun "off" at noon. Then it started raining dirt. Actually it was more like grey snow....A foot deep.

If it does come this way..Hide your car until the rain washes the ash off the roads. Do NOT drive in the ash. It will clog your airfilter almost immediatly. If it gets past your filter, your engine is toast.

I always garage my TT...btw I'm near Yelm, WA.

...People were going around town in masks and wrapping their air filters with toilet paper. Ash covered cars like grey snow.

Thank God I live in Florida now, and don't have to deal with that. Just hurricanes and junk.
