According to the Alaska Volcano Observatory Mt. Redoubt volcano erupted late Monday and early Tuesday in "four large explosions," sending an ash plume an estimated 9 miles into the air.
When you want to view large geological features like mountains and volcanoes the Google Earth browser plug-in really comes into its own. I quickly created this plug-in map this morning which lets you explore the Mount Redoubt in 3D. I have also marked some of the towns to the north east of the volcano, where the National Weather Service has issued an ash fall warning.

If there is a map of Mt. Redoubt at the link, I don't see it! Just an video and an ad for Google Earth.
Would be nice if there was a mashup showing the ashfall footprint.
To view the map you need to have installed the Google Earth plug-in. If you haven't installed the plug-in you should see a big question asking if you wish to install it.
