5. Heading east, not towards Portland

Which is only useful for those of us in Portland. Randle and Packwood will see some ash.

4. You might try katu.com

I don't think they have registration. My computer is acting funny right now, so I haven't been able to pull it up.

6. Tried it...

Nothing on the page, not even an error message. Maybe got crashed by too much traffic? I'm sure other places will have pics/info eventually!

13. The local news says that it is 25,000 feet high

Although I think that seems a tad high.

There was a small earthquake that happened at the same time. I think they said 2. something.

I hadn't counted on proximity to the view when I bought the house, but it's a nice perque.
