I have been following the ash-drifting maps and my heart goes out to all..but the animal die off..will be sporatic..but grow, and I know how much like hell it will be..to see some human family..and then..the farm animals, wild foxes..and all who have no actual ways of being protected enough..show illnesses..given the magnitude of ash in those areas. I have always watched..and in 72 years..only one mountain sent ash and death..across this Northwest of ours in america..but..we have other semi-active volcanic cones here..and thus..earthquakes will send ash up and into the central and eastern portions of the state, whenever we have a big one. The strong westward winds will..usually give us ..'cover'..but..at a cost to those inland. Hugs..and continue..fighting the good fight, ina n HB n Kesa
