Redoubt Volcano warms up.

Alaskan volcano is getting angry..

Anyone heading near Anchorage..

"Monitoring earthquakes underneath the 10,200-foot Redoubt Volcano about 100 miles southwest of Anchorage, scientists from the Alaska Volcano Observatory warned that an eruption was imminent."

Last eruption in '89 reached FL 800 and stopped a KLM 747's engines.

AVO's website has been overwhelmed with traffic this morning because of extensive national news coverage. A backup, low-bandwidth webserver is operating with limited information.

Staff are currently monitoring the volcano 24 hours a day. We will issue further information as it becomes available.
